Best Sounding Classic Rock Cd's

I’m surprised no one has brought-up one of the most classic of classic Rock - the Led Zeppelin remasters. The first three albums are really great remasters. I particularly like LZ III with all the acoustic guitar stuff. From Zoso on their not quite as good imo than the first 3, but all are major upgrades from the previous releases.

btw, I want to make a special shout out to the mastering on Robert Plants, Fate of Nations. It’s probably one of the 3-4 best sounding masters on my system. It’s very classic rock like, even though it’s much later. This album I always play when demoing my system to other people. They are always wowed!

Oh, and I almost forgot, the Beatles Love CD is the best you'll ever hear the Beatles sound.  I can't understand why Capitol didn't let Giles Martin remaster the entire catalog.  He made the music sound like it was recorded in the modern era.  To hell with that "Capitol sound".

Another great sounding blues cd is Mitch Kashmar- Live at Labatts. Incredible harmonica player. This is a good party disc.

Heart Dreamboat Annie, Pink Floyd The Wall, Emerson Lake & Palmer 1971 self-titled Tank/Lucky Man, Eagles Hotel California, Fleetwood Mac Rumors, Supertramp Breakfast in America, Dire Straits Brothers in Arms as well as Love Over Gold...all are excellent albums, both performance, and recording.  A real treat on vinyl.  :-)

Believe it or not, the CD Stadium Arcadium by The Red Hot Chili Peppers fills the bill and is really good rock music.

Individual songs that rock and are great recordings include the Snake bite song about Heroin on a Godsmack album, and "Like a Stone" on the Audioslave CD with Tom Morello, of Rage Against The Machine:on Guitar. This is one of the truly great rock guitar solos of all time, along with Martins Barre's solo on Jethro Tull's newer recording of "Aqualung Live" ,

If you like Blues, "Buddy Guy Live" is great, and his "Living Proof' is fabulous, especially when he decides to play like, but much better than, some imposters, at least after you hear this, :Only Three D Strings are necessary Slash, and the Van Halen genre of wannabe great guitar players. Buddy blows them away his later recording are as good as rock and blues can be..

A recording that is very interesting for a while, but has some great recording is the original "All Jamaica All Star Jazz Band, with absolutely great recordings of the trumpet and sax solos that jump into the room with you. 

The vocals on (Yes this is true, honestly.) "My Boy Lollipop" and "Walk On By" are astounding, bringing new life to songs I never even liked.
