And, of course, those experimental jazz albums my man Mark Bellhorn cut with Chick Corea (now long out of print and fetching thousands on eBay).
My all-time favorite, however, is that episode of Lost, in which Ben proves to Jack that he has contact with the outside world by showing a clip of the Sox clinching the 2004 World Series. It is the stuff from which awesome is made:
May it stir a bit of passion in our boys tonight. I know it does me just fine.
