Best sounding cd's

I'm trying to get some idea of the CD's out there that are well recorded to enhance my listening. My system is very revealing and as many of you know the recording can make or break how it all sounds. My tastes vary across the spectrum and go from rock to folk to classical. I welcome your suggestions. Thanks. Dave. My top 3 recordings (mainstream) are

1) Barenaked Ladies - Gordon
2) Norah Jones - Come Away With Me
3) Sting - Ten Summoner's Tales

Recently I was very surprised to hear how good the AC/DC remasters sound. Was not expecting that. Let me throw out a few that most of you probably never of.

Gino Soccio Greatest Hits
Masters of Reality {Ginger Baker is on Drums}
Herb Alpert Definitive Hits {20 bit master with tube equipment.
And Al Grey Live at The Bluenote on Telarc.

I've had really good luck with the CDs from Putamaya, www.putamaya.com. All of them I have purchased have been excellent, though they specialize in obscure world music. A very nice alternative to the mass market crud.
