Even though, i detest "Rock" music, i did enjoy Robert Lucas, on "Audioquest" label. Well, it is not exacly "Rock" it is more blues/rock, but there is something..."unique" about Lucas. Also "Audioquest" is, in my opinion "as good as it get's". And it is CD.
For great alternative/rock recordings here are some suggestions (This is the real challenge as there are many jazz and classical excellent recordings, very few excellent alt/rock recordings) 1)Dead Can Dance - Passage In Time (greatest hits) 2)Cranberries - 1st two albums 3)Cocteau Twins - Victoria land 4)Enya - Paint the Sky With Stars (greatest hits) 5)Loreena McKinnet - Book of Secrets, Mask and Mirrors etc 6)Clan of Xymox - Medusa 7)Sade - Best of Sade These all sound heavenly on good system.
The 45's from Classic will turn out to be "classics". Have had the Harry Belantfonte "Live from the Carnegie Hall", "Sings the Blues", they gave me "goosebumps". Not to miss Miles Davis "Kind of Blues" and also Dave Brubeck "Time out". If you could, buy all the 45s set or cry latter!! KW
