I know that I'm biased, but the 15 minute banjo solo in Rhapsody In Blue is my favorite part.

Ummmmm...RIB isn't supposed to "make you feel good", though. The dissidence, rapidly played notes that are supposed to sound like "traffic", etc. are to set moods, thoughts, and yes, feeling though.

The guy wrote it while riding a train (the 1920’s), and you can hear some of the sounds of a steam engine!!

Knowing that detracts because I tend to think about steam engines. Not simply listening to music...

Dave Brubeck’s Take Five is another.

If they could isolate the stimulating bits, it would be like a narcotic. Assuming that most humans have a similar response?

Which made United Airlines decision to blast it through the moving sidewalk areas of O'Hare airport all the more puzzling. Especially since it was accompanied by disorienting colored neon lights.
