Best 5 engineered rock albums?

Hands down -- AMBROSIA, first album, titled the same. Produced by Alan Parsons. I still blow away both audiophile & non-audiophile friends alike with this one. (Also pretty good transfer to CD too). Close 2ND -- TOY MATINEE.

Zorpman -

I just got a copy of a Who's Next cd from MFSL and its great! Behind Blues Eyes is totally mesmerizing.

I don't have the time to scratch my head sufficiently to come up with five, but I find Bat Out Of Hell exceptional.

CRIME OF THE CENTURY Supertramp
NIGHTFLY Donald Fagen
POP POP Ricki Lee Jones
