Can Rock-N-Roll have great sound quality?

I need help finding well recorded rock-n-roll. Dire Strait's "Brothers in Arms",Queensryche's "Empire",Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" are good and so are some of Heart's. All Van Halen is really bad, and everybody else is in between. I have Dave Koz's self titled cd and nothing in the rock genre comes close. Please help my 802's.

For a sonic treat, get the cd "Puzzle" by the alternative rock band, "dada".

Sonically spectacular IMHO and I love the music. It's been in regular rotation at the TIC household since it was first released in 1993.

Another good blues rock record is Robben Ford and the Blue Line. Great rock/blues guitar and well recorded. Good songs too. I especially like "You Cut Me to the Bone".

Enjoy,

TIC

A lot of the newer/alternitive music is much better on the recording side of things. Bands like Creed, Staind, Puddle of mud, Korns new one was actually recorded in DSD, Alice in Chains and so on. If you are into that type of rock there are many to choose from. I agree that the classic rock bands have some very poor recordings, its a shame.
The remastered Led Zep stuff is ok and I forgot about the newly remastered rush as well. I have the DCC gold Van Halen, its still not that good. The mobil fidelity guns and roses is not that good either.
