Looking for great songs to add to a headphones playlist

I have been curating this playlist for several years now and am always looking to add great songs that sound amazing on a great set of headphones. What would you add to this list?

Hi @sput_nick, cool playlist!

 

Here are 10 tracks from my library that I think sound especially great with headphones on, in case you like any of them as well:

 

“Master of the Universe” by Hawkwind: I think that the guitar flanger effect that starts at 3:50 minutes in sounds really cool, kind of like an jet flying through space!

 

https://open.spotify.com/track/3q4hJtKfWjpJrEFtSFmqAf?si=RuaKIc6kSIet6Tjo2uuOmw

 

“Defender of the Oleander” by Brant Bjork: I think they did a great job on remixing and remastering this album; the instruments are all really clean-sounding and distinct, and this instrumental is my favorite song from the album

 

https://open.spotify.com/track/0xigUDTkozyKgcBuawBdiV?si=MSTjQvUfRpG1jLQ7OZfr3w

 

“Weißensee” by Elder: Another of my favorite instrumental tracks; the guitar tone sounds great to my ears (I think reverb and/or delay effects are used) especially with headphones on

 

https://open.spotify.com/track/6MLhVsg0BPROKfN7TI3eI6?si=Z_JRwuAtSXOZqW5tmAZAVg

 

“Six to Let the Light Shine Thru” by Dead Meadow: I love the guitar effects on this one! I don’t know what effects are used, but they sound awesome with headphones on

 

https://open.spotify.com/track/7gs2IIU3JHsEuiddUN1z9I?si=lex3haRER7mqHXM8C_tSTA

 

“Meditation is the Practice of Death” by OM: The drums sound really cool on this track to me, especially using headphones

 

https://open.spotify.com/track/4SFsNpo0NaT7aylFfbUfLk?si=MlqYNjioTu-TEMdV6aln_Q

 

“Sightwaster” by Somali Yacht Club: I really like the use of both distortion and reverbed clean tone guitar sounds on this track, as well as the shift to an almost dub-reggae rhythm midway through

 

https://open.spotify.com/track/6QysVqF7zp7w0uYLu7aaIF?si=4jn4zcOdQAmgenllk39c2w

 

 “9” by Föllakzoid: Lots of great spacey synths and cool guitar effects in this track, which along with the motorik rhyhms always put me in a great mindspace

 

https://open.spotify.com/track/0c35I79bxG3qq2z12pL5Kc?si=UBKYET4WQGSE4ZLeXxLBxg

 

“Reality Fades” by Weedpecker: I like the drums on this track a lot, and the guitar tones sound great to me as well, imparting a very “dreamlike” effect

 

https://open.spotify.com/track/1N1vClZvbCLSVFHffiacD5?si=D5BdHttBT2yOUup6hc9-vw

 

“T=0” by Ahkmed: Really cool guitar effects on this track, I'm not sure what they are but they sound nice with headphones on

 

https://open.spotify.com/track/1t5rEvsVk0InxV61cwfAAP?si=dZjSY4h_Rc2PWQXBA_QwtA

 

“Eye of the Storm” by King Buffalo: I’m not sure what stands out to me here, except that all the instruments sound great together

Cheers!
