Rock albums that sound good on your system?


Often, you put in a rock album into your S$10,000 system and the music, though enjoyable, just sounds harsh, grating, boomy and forward. Aside from several of my Pink Floyd albums, the rest of my rock CDs just sound bad. Are there any good rock recordings out there?

Some of the very best recorded CD's are not secular. Try
DC Talk, the Newsboys or a soft rocker like Michael W. Smith. Not only will you be amazed at the recording quality
but you might even be able to feel good about the message.
Hi Folks !A few Current Albums to consider that sound wonderful are 1. AIR-10'000 Hertz Legend Some say Prog Rock in disguise.Art Rock may be a better description.From acoustic parts to full blown Electronics with deep bass,Moog etc..Beck makes a couple appearences.Will test your system with more sounds than any recording I've heard.This album is a Masterpiece and the most interesting Album I've heard in a while.2.A close 2nd is Radiohead Amnesiac.Ditto most of above 3.Sigur Ros -Agaetis Byrjun from Iceland.A Beautiful Haunting Album, Mellow but Heavy[An old Hippie term]Guitar played with a violin bow!And the Voices!I first heard all of these on KCRW.com Morning becomes Electic Show.All are archived.Posters Ben Campbell and Marakanetz would probably Love all three as they don't seem to be into commercial crap and are into very engaging music.All 3 are available on vinyl and sound great in both formats.Must have's for Floyd/Art Rock,Prog Rock Fans!Hope you enjoy,from an Old Music Obsessed Guy.My .02 for something NEW !
Jd-I have numbers 2 and 3 on your list and wouldn't disagree with your sentiments.....
Dylan, "Good As I Been To You"
Dire Straits, "On Every Street" (actually, any Dire Straits)
Talking Heads, "Stop Making Sense"

The Dylan is truly an incredible recording, musically and sonically. Better sound recording, IMHO, than any of his others.
All George Thorogood CDs sound very good on my highly revealing system, and I especially like his Anthology-- a two CD set. GT and the Delaware Destroyers do ROCK. GT may be a "throw back" or dinosaur, but if he's a dinosaur he's a T-REX.

ZZ Top also is excellent on good systems, and I like "One Foot in the Blues", and "Antenna". And the newly re-mastered CCR CDs are also very good-- they were done using JVC's K2 20 Bit Super Coding system. Rock On! Craig
