Quora users shared their views on this issue, and we learned that they were listening to Audimania employees.

Donald Otis believes that we can not deliberately say that someone does not like this or that music. From classical to modern, from rap to rock, from pop scenes to highly intellectual music - there are a lot of options, worth trying.

Donald named 10, in his opinion, the best songs that everyone should listen to:


V. Biggs (musician and web designer) thinks that the best place to recommend is not the name of one song, but the whole album. So you can better understand the mood that the music conveys, and immerse yourself in its atmosphere:


Joe Crofts (plays the piano and guitar, writes music) named his favorite songs and told a little about them:



Mark Erickson could not choose 10 songs from his huge collection of music, so he chose only a couple:

Dave Brubeck - Unsquare Dance - a feature of this song is that it was written in 7/4 rhythm, and as it progresses, the tempo of the song gradually accelerates. In the end, Joe Morello’s laughter can be heard - he was very pleased that the musicians managed to cope with the last difficult part of the song. In 1964, the track took 74th place in the US Hot 100 chart and 14th place in the UK singles chart.

Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal - Maurice Ravel - Bolero - if you listen to this song very carefully, you can see how the same melody sounds again and again. The peculiarity of this song is in the drums. The drummer plays one rhythm pattern throughout the composition (15 minutes).

The piece begins very quietly (piano or pianissimo) and reaches the end of maximum volume (forte or fortissimo), while, as it progresses, the listener should not notice a rise in volume.


Based on the responses received, we have compiled a list of the most popular artists and their songs among Quora users, noted in this thread.

The first line of popularity is shared by two epochal groups - The Beatles - Hey, Jude and Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven . The second line, with a slight lag, is occupied by the legendary Queen group - Bohemian Rhapsody .

Third place is occupied by the equally popular Pink Floyd band with the tracks Wish You Were Here and Comfortably Numb . Next come Bob Dylan - Like A Rolling Stone , Guns N 'Roses - November Rain and Coldplay - Viva La Vida .

Other works that were noted by the audience:


Of course, you can list as many as you want, but here are a few of the most highly recommended performers: Bob Marley, Eminem, Imagine Dragons, Jimi Hendrix, The Beach Boys, Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Louis Armstrong, Michael Jackson, Porcupine Tree and Stevie Wonder.

We decided to find out whether the opinions of Quora users coincide with the tastes of our employees and asked them what music they had recently listened to. Of course, such "giants" as Metallica, Megadeth, Pink Floyd, U2 and Beatles, highly rated by Quora users, were included in our sample. Noted in it and the popular Quora Coldplay, Linkin Park and Aphex Twin.

But since our employees are immersed in the topic of music of various genres every day (of course, this is not their direct responsibility), our sample turned out to be much more diverse. There were no rock veterans like Led Zeppelin and Queen in it (not because we don’t love them - just other artists like us lately), but they noted:


PS And which tracks, albums or bands do you think deserve special attention?
