What LP shows what analog can do?

I'm relatively new to analog. I've bought up some $1 records, and many sound surprisingly good (though I don't have a cleaner, so some are cracklier than I'd like).

I'd like to buy a couple of new LPs (probably from MusicDirect) that are at the very top sound quality. Of course, music quality counts too. So really I'm looking for suggestions for the record you put on to impress your friends (to show them the difference from CD), or to sit back and truly enjoy just how good analog can sound. I sort of have classical in the back of my mind, but I'm open to whatever.

Thanks.

Try any of the Classic Records Living Stereo releases for classical. Very quiet vinyl and great quality recordings overall. In particular, try "Witches Brew". It is an awesome recording.

These are a few I have enjoyed over the years and are from a time when analog ruled.
Steely Dan (Aja and Gaucho)
Supertramp (Even in the quietest moments and Breakfast in America)
Stevie Wonder (Innervisions and Songs in the key of life)
Genesis (Invisible Touch)
Emerson Lake and Palmer (the one with Lucky Man)
Any Mannheim Steamroller LP
Really any NEW LP of music that you like will do the trick.

There are many, many, many. Too many to list. Here's one that might get overlooked, though. WAR, "Why Can't we be Friends".
