Headphone albums

[Sussossus]

So, it seems to me some albums are better when heard through headphones. For example, sometime last week I realized Presto is incredible that way. There are plenty of albums that are just perfect one way or another, such as Moving Pictures. Anybody else have any albums that you prefer on headphones?

"Hemispheres"

[jonfiredaman02]

All of them, probably because (especially on Presto) you can actually hear the bass that way.

"Turn The Page"

I have some pretty good headphones.

I listen to everything on them.

Countdown

i am forced to listen to almost everything on phones mainly because nobody else wants to hear my "racket"but i quite like to get lost in the music and using cans helps me do that.

caress of steel and hemispheres because they are both so atmospheric stand out for me when heard on cans,these two albums can really take you places if you listen carefully without the distractions that go on in the living rooms of most family homes

Exactly! Moving Pictures as well.

[Zanadoo]

Permanent Waves

[Mandalorian Hunter]

Grace Under Pressure.

Caress Of Steel. There's some freaky stuff going on during the Necromancer where the music literally moves through your brain from one side to the other.

I have the Bose Quietcomforts and all the albums sound excellent through them. I was listening to Heresy from RTB last night and although there is no epic guitar solo, it really caught me as a great song! It was not even on my radar until last night...Gonna revisit all the albums with the headphones now!

Two Songs: Hemispheres and Countdown are the best on Headphones.

 

[metaldad]

Hemi

AFTK

M.P

Signals

[Mystic Slipperman]

Hemispheres

Moving Pictures

Power Windows

 

[Pause Rewind Replay]

Different Stages discs 1+2. The left-right separation of the guitar and bass (much less noticable playing through regular speakers) makes it sound much more spacious, "big", etc on headphones.

[LeaveMyThingAlone]

"All of them"

 

But I remember Caress of Steel being particuarly impressive on my killer Bose headphones and a couple bong hits....(back in the day)

[greg2112]

I love 2112 though headphones

Presto has a really full sound when heard through headphones. I've always enjoyed A Show of Hands this way. If you get the Equalizer just right, it sounds like you're there in the audience.

All of them, plus it depends on my mood.

 

Also, I use my headphones at night so not to piss off the neighbors. I have to respect there privacy.

 

 

[ColdFireYYZ]

Power Windows, Presto, Grace Under Pressure

[pratt53]

Power Windows.

[fledgehog]

PoW and HYF, because of all the layers. Also work well with a 5.1 setup.

[Todem]

Most of the catalog is amazing on headphones.

 

But one tune I love to really rock and get lost in is the ATWAS version of By Tor & The Snow Dog. Insane on headphones.

 

Also Exit Stage Left Broons Bane/The Trees/Xanadu suite. Classic headphone stuff.
