HomePod - First Song(s) You'll Play?

[TrueBlou]

My wife's the same, I have to get in my "Hey Siri, turn the volume to 100%" requests when she's out. I was just sitting thinking about songs that would be good to demo the HomePod, scrolling through my library and I saw Phil sitting there and it was like the light bulb in a cartoon. The best bit, if you haven't listened to it for a long time is the anticipation...

I love that last line there. Possibly one of the best descriptors I’ve ever heard for listening to a song

Might not be your first song, but I recommend cranking the volume, playing Phil Collins' In The Air Tonight, and then sit back and wait...

EDIT - for any not familiar with the song, don't give up on it, just let it play and enjoy...

I used to compete in motorcycle skills meets. I would play that in my helmet. The first parts of the competition are slow rides (how slow can you go while not touching the ground or going out of the lines), then a relaxed zigging and zagging through a series of cones, then some intense tighter and tighter circles where you are often dragging your pegs. That song was perfect for those runs!

Finally found a good Vivaldi Four Seasons recording sounding great on the HP.

London Philharmonic Orchestra 2009, Pieter Schoeman.

WOW! Sit back and enjoy with your favorite beverage.

Whenever I want to test a new speaker or headphones, I play Human Nature by Michael Jackson. It has a great range of sounds and features many background layers that are embedded in my memory from listening to it over and over on vinyl as a child. I know if something is missing. Listening to it on HomePod, I could pick up background details that I haven't heard in a long time.

The love for music in this thread is palpable. If just one person rediscovers their love for listening to music, I’d say the HomePod is a raging success.
