When I was setting up my PC with Audacity to convert my vinyl to mp3s, that's the song I listened to first to make sure I had true stereo and not dual channel mono. It was cool to watch the signal levels drop to zero in one channel and spike in the opposite one. The stereo in that song is amazing. Queen was able to take stereo to the extreme there, but not sound too gimmicky. They did a great job, as usual.

But no way does it belong in this thread.

Wishing You Were Here - Chicago
I am the Mercury - Jimmy Spheeris
One for Daddy-O - Nat Adderly
Tuxedo Junction - Glenn Miller

I could sit here all day as I recollect wonderful songs/performances. I don't think it could ever be narrowed down to 100 much less just one.

Dunno, but Lennon's 'In My Life' should be up there somewhere.
