Best produced rock albums.........


There is nothing as satisfying as listening to a masterfully produced album. I'm looking to add to my collection of masterfully produced rock CDs. Current favs : Tom Petty Highway Companion, John Mayers Continuum, Third Eye Blind - title, ZZ Tops XXX, etc. Please suggest other rock albums that are you favorites.

Joe Walsh - most of his stuff sounds great - as does The Eagles - Hell freezes over live is a great album 

my rock on CDs:

1997 David Bowie "Earthling"
2001 Depeche Mode "Exciter"
1993 Duran Duran "Wedding Album"
1994 Mark Nauseef and Miroslav Tadik "The Snake Music"
1995 Jethro Tull "Roots To Branches" perhaps their most advanced album
1991 Yes "Union"
1990 Cure "Mixed ep" compilation 
1998 Bruford Levin Upper Extremities -- B.L.U.E. very complex prog UK or Japanese CD recommended to have.
2013 Ceramic Dog --"Your turn" with Marc Ribot known as guitarist for Tom Waits
1998...1999 Projekct 1,2,3,4,x. Those are basically King Crimson members therefore spelling had slightly changed.
1993 Brian Ferry "Taxi"

dgarretson - I've heard about 1/2 of those recordings...............I'll have to check out the other half! BTW - Gyns book was quite an interesting read......especially his recounting his time on the road with the Stones. Thank you, cheers.
Glyn Johns' body of work is incredible. In recent years, I have admired Steven Wilson's (from Porcupine Tree) mastering work. He has handled the remastering for many of the classic prog releases including ELP, Yes, King Crimson, and Jethro Tull. I think the "Aqualung" 40th anniversary release is great and Chicago II is fun as well. Not compressed at all. I also think that Todd Rundgren has don some excellent production work for other artists.
