Recordings to die for - R R only

i'm interested in people's expeiences with quality recordings in the specific genre of rock and roll...we're talking Stones, Doors, Zepplin, Nirvana, Soundgarden, R&R. have there been any recordings that really surprised you with depth, imaging, soundstaging...you know that audiophile thing. feel free to include re-masters, DCC, MFSl, etc. i'd like to hear specific examples (as opposed to "try anything Steve Hoffman does at DCC" commentary. thanks for your ears

I'll start you off with Dire Straits' Love Over Gold; a classic audiophile quality rock recording--plenty of apparent depth, instruments all over the place, little sound effects (breaking glass, doors opening, etc.), plus terrific guitar work. The CD is good, the vinyl outstanding.

True, true, I would have said the same, but my genteel brother in Jadis simply was faster. Cheers

It's been a long time since Ive seen them mentioned, but do the Bonnie Raitt cds qualify? (i.e., Nick of Time, Luck of the Draw?)
