Thanks to all. It’s going to take me a while to catch up with all of these. I like the Talking Heads one so far.

Early blues that never gets old.

Wish Youtube hadn’t taken down the studio version of “Gotta Serve Sombody” by Dylan.

If there is a better version than this, please put it up.

Hank Williams: “House of Gold”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5buzOzjN-C8

Pandit Jasraj: “Shivastakam” (This singer is, well, awesome. Although this rather uncharacteristically poppy song certainly isn’t him at his best, I don’t have time now to dig through everything on Youtube to find something better.)

Thomas Tallis, Spem In Alium (1570). I consider this an emotionally dangerous piece of music. I have never attended a live performance, but would very much like to risk it.

Gregorio Allegri, Miserere Mei Deus (1638).

Samuel Barber, Angus Dei, Adagio For Strings (1967).

Saw Stanley Jorday live last night at 河岸留言 in Ximending. Wow!

I was going to place these on The Most Beautiful Music thread, but found this and decided to place them here. I am not even religious and love some Black Gospel music.
