Listened to all the songs listed. Very difficult to choose. Fantastic entries. What stood out to me for the only reference disc I own (2014 w/thanks to BarryG for the copy) the first time I played it on our system was the uniqueness, sometimes familiar, and breadth of songs which allowed me to both enjoy my system and at the same time get the "jaw dropping" factor when playing for others. I was also proud to play it on a dealer's $300,000 system w/ the variety and quality of the audio. Many songs on this list qualify for the above but I was able to narrow it down to 5 which (IMHO) easily stood out for a 2017 reference disc based upon the comments above. # 6 "Fearless" by Pink Floyd on 'Meddle' # 14 "Man in the Long Black Coat" by Bob Dylan on 'Oh Mercy' Man in the Long Black Coat # 23 "The Pepperland Suite" by George Martin on 'In My Life' # 29 "Until I'm Dead & Cold" by BB King on 'Indianola Mississippi Seeds' and finally #33 "You Want it Darker" by Leonard Cohen on 'You want it Darker' Runner's up if there is room 17, 30, 28, 25, 7, 9, 13, 15, 24, 8, 10 in order of preference for the reference

This is a cornerstone project of TheCarverSite! I cherish the first Reference CD, and look forward to this one. I enjoyed watching the suggestion thread - which I respect other's taste and selection of music, over my own wierd taste. Having said that, I'd like to make a contribution to cover the project's CD duplication and distribution postage. do we have a mechanism/fund for that?

Some of us don't celebrate "Stupid Bowl"

Is anybody going to vote for a track or artist they've never heard? Aside from my own submissions I have 9 of these tracks already, another nine I wouldn't care to ever hear again including every Eagles track. There was a time these songs were practically inescapable. A reference disc has two purposes for me; To present something sonically unique, to introduce new or otherwise overlooked gem recordings. It is not a place to rehash old standards in my view. Curmudgeon mode off.

Do we get 5 votes for R and 5 for O, or just 5 total? Could we have a bit more time to listen to the songs on the list? Sorry I've been listening to other reference music lately tuning my amp. (Super Bowl is on Sunday BTW) Rock the Vote!
