Recently I switched from Apple Music to Spotify free/Navidrome. I am moving my library to Navidrome slowly. I have done a similar thing in the past as well.
I noticed that both times, as well as trying out new speakers, the first song I listened to was In the End by Linkin Park, followed by their latest album.
What is yours?
Edit: Holy Shit! I was not expecting so many replies. It is not possible for me to reply to everyone right away. I will listen to each of your first songs and reply to everyone.
Edit: Holy Shit!..
We’re like Hobbits. Very compatible with simple and to the point.
Brian Eno, Silver Morning
The cranberries Zombie. Possibly the best song out there
omg I have heard this song before and thought it was a banger but did not know the name. Thank you!
Song for the Dead, by Queens of the Stone Age
I’m choosing Iron Maiden’s Powerslave today
Radiohead - In Rainbows
My wife says: something with a lot of bass.
Well, you bet me to it, but what can I say? That’s my answer, too.
Mo3 Slide on em.
I test every new headphone and speaker system with Watermelon Man by Herbie Hancock. So many layers to the music that gets washed out on poor setups so it’s great to check dynamics!
Sennheiser chose Eagles - Hotel California for it’s CES listening demo for the Orpheus 2 headset($55,000 headset)
Norah Jones - Don’t Know Why was also used by some people at a different event.
I think I remember they had Tidal Master Quality streaming used for the source, but I could find that article I remember again just now
Rumors - Fleetwood Mac
Queen - queen II
The Anvil of Crom
–Conan the Barbarian Soundtrack –Basil Polidouris
Burial at Sea/Hymn to the Immortal Wind by MONO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEvpqR6B8ns
For vocals, probably Constellations (Unplugged) by Dabu. This song can be found on less compressed platforms too, which I recommend
