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

Hmmm . . . surprised that two of my classic choices haven't been mentioned!
Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon (I prefer the Sony Mastersound only slightly over the 24 bit new stereo mix) and Welcome to the Machine (I prefer the new stereo remaster slightly over other versions).  Magnificently recorded at the time, I have always used DSOTM as my classic rock test album for equipment.

Traffic's Low Sparks of High Heeled Boys remaster is also very nicely done and a great albums well!
