Quality Rock/Pop CD recordings


I'm interested in finding consensus opinions for the best quality recordings of Rock/Pop CD's to augment my library. (i.e. Steely Dan-Two Against Nature, Dire Straights-Brother in Arms etc..) I'd like to stick to this genre as I'm pretty well set on my Jazz and Classical collection. Feel welcome to qualify your picks.

Thanks.

Santana-Abraxas
The Who-Whos Next
Roger Waters-Amused to Death (my all time favorite)
Everything by Dave Mathews is very well recorded. Chris Isaak Baja Sessions is essential. The newest Digital re-masters of Cat Stevens especially Tea for the Tillerman. Joni Mitchel Blue is out in HDCD. Last but not least David Gray White Ladder.
Janis Ian "Breaking Silence"-this is the finest recording I own. Superb dynamics, great music with bummer lyrics. Thankfully the lyrics are easy to tune out. A++++, must buy.

Paul Simon "Still Crazy After All These Years"-a definite must have. Great music, excellent recording and you get to hear him teamed with Art Garfunkel on one cut.

Greg Alman "Laid Back". Big mistake not to own this one.

Any Karla Bonoff. There isn't a weak cut on any of her recordings.

Any Keb MO. This man gives me happy feet.

Zachary Richard "Silver Jubilee The Best of Zachary Richard"

Neil Young "Harvest", "Harvest Moon" and with Crazy Horse "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere"

Bob Dylan "Blood On The Tracks"

Any Alan Parsons Project

Supertramp "Crime Of The Century"

Some of these recordings are very old and may not be available on cd. Alan Parsons and Supertramp are probably in a sale bin for a giveaway price.

Happy listening,

Chet Atkins & Mark Knofler: Neck & Neck

Listen to track 3, "There will be some changes made". The two voices and guitars are spaced ideally for a great almost-in-your-room effect.
