What piece of music can you play over & over?

Tvad - That is a great track. Its too bad the rest of the ablum doesn't live up to it. In fact I think that record might set the standard for albums with one great song surrounded with inane unlistenable fill. But that is one really great song.

Coltrane - Blue Trane, Monk - monk's Music, and the original version of Take the 'A' train, which in addition to being a jazz classic is also an almost perfect three minute pop tune (which of course it was too).

Simply Red "Picture Book"

I listen to mainly classical and jazz. I've learned that it is best with music that I could 'play over and over' to not do so, once I understand the piece or the performance. Familarity can breed boredom, even with the greatest music. I now rarely listen to any recording more than a couple of times a year. There is so much good stuff to hear, you really don't have to.

But it sure was tempting with Eva Cassidy's rendition of Over the Rainbow, and Charlie Haden's CD 'Beyond the Missouri Sky'. I especially savor Cassidy's recordings and rarely play them - they are such a treat when I do! :-)

I know this is ancillary to the thread, but I have learned that if you get a song stuck in your head and think you'll go crazy if you don't get rid of it, all you need to do is start singing "Bang a Gong"...
