Could we do a sticky for sound description examples?

I did a cursory check and don't see something like this. People use terms like, "punchy", "boomy", "warm", etc. all the time when describing sounds that basses or amps make. Could we use a youtube video example of each term so we have references for tones when we need them? So if I were saying something sounded, "round" or "warm". I would include a link to a youtube song that I thought modeled the sound.
