                Shawn, you've  used that one already.  I remember
                you asking the  same  thing a year or so ago when
                Xanadu was mentioned.  As for Cygnus X-1, that is
                definately the gnads on headphones with the bells
                and thumps panning back and forth.  On Countdown,
                the helicopter was exactly what I had in mind and
                on  Twilight Zone, listen for the whispering that
                goes along with the lyrics.

41.23MCIS2::AKINSValhalla I am coming....Fri Dec 29 1989 23:4918
Operation::Mindcrime

Fragile - YES

Wish You weer Here -PF

Zeppelin IV

Women and Children First - VH  (  Tora Tora especially...)

Best of Judas Priest - (Digitally remixed and remastered CD.)

This also depends on the quality of the headphones....

I use KOSS Pro-Lights.  Perfect for the portable Diskman.

41.24ASAHI::COOPERBlackened is the word...Tue Jan 02 1990 17:4610
    I'm drawing blanks, but the First two in my mind today were:
    
    Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner (Good choice pete)
    and
    The instrumental "Orion" on Metallica's MOP CD.  Play it LOUD !
    
    Alice In Hell by Annihilator sounds killer when it's loud...
    Then the singer starts...but I LOVE that guitar sound !

        The Ocean by Led Zeppelin.  Crank it up and listen closely to
    
    the beginning before the song starts.  It sounds cool.
    
                                  J. outa here in 10.
    
41.31Right Pete....What's dat f**kin noize?!!BINKLY::MINARDIInto My HypercubeTue Jan 02 1990 23:1111
    Hate to admit it, but ANYTHING by Pink Floyd...
    
    they just have such a huge sound.
    
    Also, the Cure's Disintegration album was made to be played very
    loud, and sounds intense with headphones.
    
    Yes, sniff, anything (IMO) off of Master Of Puppets...sniff...
    my tape's been missing for a while...sob....
    
    /Motorbreath...and I really miss it.
41.32 -( ++ )- CSCOA3::THOMPSON_Rcouldn't think of a good one...Thu Jan 04 1990 03:0312
    I second the motion on Frankenstein. That song was MADE for headphones!

    	Oh yeah - I forgot about "Crazy Train"!!
    
    	If you ever listened to that after partaking of illegal
    	drugs you'd be climbing the walls.

    re: .36
    
    Actually a better Dolby tune, from the same album is "One of Our
    Submarines".  The sonar noises are way cool on that one.

    I hope somebody still reads this topic!!!!
    
    Has anyone heard of JEANE MICHAEL JARRE?
    
    He has a couple of albums ,and cassetes, that are totally cool to
    listen to through a pair of headphones.
    
    The best one is called OXYGEN. IT isn't heavymetal but definetly worth
    listening to
    
    
    
    
    
    
41.41NEEPS::IRVINEAll Hail SUMOmeister!Tue Feb 11 1992 11:175
    Yeah your right, but JMJ's Oxygen is much better through the cans,
    after you've been through the funny cigarettes, at least that's what
    I've been told.

    	Listen to Dread Zeppelin's "Bring It On Home" through headphones.
    
41.45THEMAX::SMITH_SThu May 23 1996 19:492
    Good stereo effects?  I like to feel the music.

41.46BUSY::SLABOUNTYCrackerThu May 23 1996 19:537
    
    	Feeling the music is wonderful, but if you're trying to "feel the
    	music" through headphones then you're going to be stuck with some
    	MAJOR hearing damage in the near future.
    
    	Yes, "Bring It On Home" has wonderful stereo/chorus effects.
