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.
Jazzmataz vol. 1 by Guru
“Frank’s Wild Years”
Florence + the Machine - June
Just to open it gently
Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God
10.8 by Deadmau5 and Mr. Bill
Pure ear candy
Electronic is not my genre.
This song is good. It has a feel good vibe.
A lot of different “instruments” make it good for testing new speakers, I guess. Soft, subtle and loud, harsh, the whole range.
Voodoo by Godsmack
Overture 1928 - Dream Theater
AC/DC - “Back in Black”
Dire Straits - Walk of Life.
For testing speakers, Infected Mushroom, Tame Impala and 20syl/AllttA are always good choices. Maybe Tool as well (10000 days). Song depends on what I’m most familiar with atm.
For a new library, I’d probably just choose whatever I listen to the most. Which would be The Fearless Flyers and Aesop Rock rn.
Fellow IM enjoyer in the wild! 🍄
Mindful Solutionism is probably my favorite track from Aesop even after black hole superette came out, such a banger
One of the THX Deep Notes
Herbie Hancock - Chameleon
Then listen to the whole Head Hunters album tbh
„Rumors“ by Fleetwood Mac.
The Chain
Probably A Night at the Opera by Queen, which was the first album I ever bought with my own money. A ton of classic tracks, lots of tonal range, weirdass spatial effects from early-era screwing around with stereophonic production, and a hell of a good time any day of the week.
