Maurice Ravel's Bolero.

It has to be a good recording. If so, it floors me everytime. THere are definitely far greater pieces, as this one is highly repetetive etc, but at high volume, I stand in awe of its majesty....

I am truely caught off guard everytime I hear it....I stop what I am doing, or if driving, lay off the gas, and just let it all in....during the "precession," I swear I can hear the elephants camels, and the king's chariot roll by...:D

Bolero can really amaze you on a good system capable of huge dynamics. In fact a good recording on a system will always amaze you no matter how many times you heard it.

No woman No Cry, Bob Marley. I love the guitar solo in the live version on legend.
