Best Sounding Classic Rock Cd's


Hi guys, new audiophile here and first time posting. As I improve my system I like to demo it to my friends. I know it’s hard to beat vinyl but I have found some CD’s that are well mastered and produced.

Hugh Laurie: Didn’t it rain and Let them talk.

Ronnie Earl: Grateful Heart and Steve Winwood: Back in the high life.

I’m looking for some recommendations on some Classic Rock CD’s or Blues, that are well mastered and produced.

I know you guys would be the ones to ask, Thanks Jim

Supertramp- Crime of the Century
Jethro Tull- Aqualung (40th anniversary ed.)
Allman Brothers- Idlewild South (deluxe ed.)
Look for classic rock albums remastered by Stephen Wilson. He has a tasteful ear and high standards.
In the blues department, try some Duke Robillard or Sugar Ray Norcia era Roomful of Blues. Sugar Ray Norcia and the Bluetones cds are all well recorded as well.
There are many. many more....
Bad Company.- Bad Co
Aerosmith-Toy's in the attic
Journey-any of them
Rush-2112
Kansas-LeftOverture
Styx-Grand Illusion
Boston- Any of them
Van Halen- Any of them
REO Speedwagon- High Infidelity
Heart
Pat Benatar

tell us what you like!
jimzzz- Welcome!

Steve Winwood- Roll with It
The Doors- s/t disc
Van Halen- all of those discs (rarely, the remasters are not bad either)

Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms.
may not fit the classical definition of classic rock, but close enough. Money For Nothing is quite a track to hear on a great system. The entire album is very well recorded and mastered.

+1 ..... Especially in XRCD ....outstanding and a whole step up in resolution and dynamics from the "standard" redbook CD pressing.

highly recommended .
