Recordings to die for - R R only

i'm interested in people's expeiences with quality recordings in the specific genre of rock and roll...we're talking Stones, Doors, Zepplin, Nirvana, Soundgarden, R&R. have there been any recordings that really surprised you with depth, imaging, soundstaging...you know that audiophile thing. feel free to include re-masters, DCC, MFSl, etc. i'd like to hear specific examples (as opposed to "try anything Steve Hoffman does at DCC" commentary. thanks for your ears

It's been a long time since Ive seen them mentioned, but do the Bonnie Raitt cds qualify? (i.e., Nick of Time, Luck of the Draw?)

Check out our recording of the Fallen Angels. They remind me of "Desperado"-style Eagles.
