Is it a gem?

Often I hear a song from my archive of music and I say to myself, “Self, this is a gem.” I have also, in other threads, read that some listeners look forward to that gem from a particular band.

I just don't see the point of adding a handful of songs by a band.
So why not gather a collection of gems from a band and not the whole album and include them in the play list? The other day I was listening to Gary Moore’s, After The War . There is a song on that album called The Messiah Will Come Again , a remake of Parisian Walkways by Thin Lizzy. This song is a gem. Is the body of Gary Moore’s music typical of the type of music on AM? No I think not. IMO The Messiah Will Come Again is 7-min.32-sec. of emotion stirring sonic enjoyment that any person with an ear for great music will enjoy. After all it is all about that emotional feedback.
