Favorite songs on headphones?
Just charged up some decent headphones I haven't used in a long time, to prep for travel later today.
The first song I wanted to listen to was "Starálfur" from Sigur Rós, and the neck tingles from this experience were amazing.
Next was "A Girl Like You" from The Wolfgang Press - not tingly, but fun nonetheless
Next is all of Pure Phase, just because. (Current tingles are courtesy of "Let it Flow".)
If you don't mind sharing, what are your favorite headphone-testing songs? The range of music discussed here is horizon-expanding, so I imagine headphone recs would not disappoint!
Thanks,
S.

Give this a try, the last song, Masters of Earth. 19 minutes of pure proggy Floydy joy. https://ampacity.bandcamp.com/album/encounter-one
I always think of this song when trying out new headphones. I’ve always been so impressed by the sound of the kit and use it as a bit of a reference.
Cheers

Mezzanine by Massive Attack is a good test. Quite a dynamic record.

One of my favorite albums, although I think I wrote in another post that I've had weird experiences while driving and listening to them. Wouldn't be driving with headphones on though, of course, so would be safer
Thank you!

Re: Favorite songs on headphones?
A personal 'headphone favorite' is Propaganda's 'Dream within a dream'. The song is so layered, reminds me of the long 'feel so sad' version, which is BTW also a great headphone song!
"Thank you"

Re: Favorite songs on headphones?
I think I just get caught up in the music or something. First was a large-ish speeding ticket, second was an accident on a bridge where someone cut me off, then trying to avoid that person I lost control and zig-zagged across 6 lanes at rush hour without hitting anyone (except the Jersey barriers on the side) or being hit! Ended up with a totaled car, and a mostly-ok me.
So, weird experiences - not GOOD weird, unfortunately
