  1. @11:48 -- The Knack, My Sharona, was not a one-hit-wonder (it was one of several hits by The Knack). The album, Get The Knack, is an incredible album. Some of the songs might not click with everyone. But "Good Girls Don't", rocks, and I am pretty sure that it was a hit song.

  2. I would have liked to see: Up Front -- Infatuation -- and -- Company B -- Fascinated

  3. Two more records I would have on such a list: -- Led Zeppelin II. Specifically, the first two songs on side 1 of the RL / SS hot cut pressings. I heard "Whole Lotta Love" on a very high-end system, in a treated room, and my eyes and ears were fighting over whether or not the band was in front of me. They were carved out in three-dimensional realism like nothing I have ever experienced -- nothing else has ever come close. -- The Beatles, Abbey Road. With the right pressing, on a great stereo, that pressing sounds amazing. The grunge of the guitars, the spacing of the voices, etc, is fantastic. All future releases / re-masters of that album were botched, in one way or another. One other honorable mention: Madonna's double album, "The Immaculate Collection", made with QSound, has songs with the widest soundstage I have ever heard. The songs were not recorded exceptionally well (not bad, but not great, either). But that QSound is wild. Vogue has the best sound quality of all of the songs on that double album (to my ear). It is actually very good. And with the QSound effect, there are sounds appearing directly to the left and the right, as if there are speakers in those locations. Invite a friend over, and they will accuse you have having hidden speakers to the sides. If you want to test your stereo's soundstaging, play some songs from "The Immaculate Collection". The songs will vary in sound quality and the QSound effect. But that is a go-to album for ultra-wide soundstaging effects.
