You knew I had to post one of their songs with heavy references.

Led Zeppelin - The Battle of Evermore

It's time to get the Led out. But I will only be posting my favorite deep cuts. There will be a strictly enforced No Stairway policy.

Love pipe organ? Put this through your best audio system and crank it. There's quite a bit of 16 Hz low C in there, if you have headphones or subwoofers that can do it.

This is the best performance of this transcription I've heard, and also the best recording. Oh, and it's a sampled organ!

J.S. Bach - Sinfonia (from Wir danken dir, Gott, wir danken dir, BWV 29)
Transcription for organ solo by Marcel Dupré
Sebastian Kuechler-Blessing, organ

Who remembers this 90s Internet anthem?

🎵 On your mark, get set!

Here is a modern version of a Mensuration Canon, where the same melody is played simultaneously at different speeds by augmenting or diminishing note values proportionally. In this case, many different rates at the same time. Otherwise, it's just a descending a natural minor scale, played on alternating short and long note values.

Arvo Pärt - Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten

Estonian National Symphony Orchestra Paavo Järvi

For those experiencing the desperation of drought, this piece captures that feeling in a raw, primal way.

(Warning: Extreme dynamic range; possibly shocking vocal production.)

Want some synthwave with your hardcore rap?

Run the Jewels - Never Look Back

This is one of those instances where the cover is better than the original. Absolutely breathtaking. Elton himself said that no one else needs to bother covering the song after he heard this.

Sara Bareilles - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (Live from Atlanta)

It's a beautiful day for laying down some vocal tracks.

Bonus points to the first who correctly names the mic and DAW I'm using.

Yes, someday I need to invest in room treatment.
