Best sounding SACD's to show-off system

I like to show-off my Wilson Audio W/P6s and Krell 350mcx to friends and try to get them to understand the rush of high-end audio, and I have to some degree, but what SACD's out there that are recorded best! Something that will really make them melt with goose-bumps. Thanks!!

Jamie Cullum - Twentysomething (2004)

The Police catalog.

The Rolling Stones (2002) catalog

The audiophile warrior is Dire Straights Love Over Gold. Standard issue cd which makes it all the better.

Hmm. Funeral for a Friend usually impresses whether sacd or cd. A classic.

Yes! Elton John's catalog on SACD is wonderful. Do you own all of the titles?Happy Listening!

Elton’s sacds sounded great to me until I went back and played them on vinyl. GYBR, in particular, was much better in every way on vinyl (I have a first MCA pressing that has been played hundreds of times). That being said, the Elton sacds sound better than redbook.
