GREAT MUSIC - SO POORLY RECORDED...

Truth is high end audio reproduction equipment does not lie. While it is the true joy of the hobby to hear the marriage of great music with great recordings I sill can enjoy the music poorly recorded. Art for arts sake. 10CC fans can finish this sentence. 

Try the "3 bats live" from Ontario.
Vocals a little edgy but a very good live recording. Bass and guitars fine. You might miss Ellen but Aspen Miller not bad at all. The original studio true crap.
To you all. Don't say "all". All artists made both bad and good recordings. Often the best are on vinyl. Not because vinyl is better but because they messed least with the vinyl mastering. R.E.M and Stones made some recordings with absolute reference quality. It might be your unbalanced system...Try Maxwell for always top quality. And lots lots of others.

Motown, The Beach Boys’ Smiley Smile and Wild Honey, Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels, Phil Spector productions, Hank Williams, Robert Johnson, Sun Records, Leonard Bernstein, Herbert von Karajan, Glenn Gould, the list is endless.

And very very few recordings are actually bass heavy. The opposite is the "normal". The Dance is a little unnormal in that sence. They can have poorly recorded bass though. If you believe it's too much bass it's probably your room/system thats not in balance. Try some DSP or turn down the volume on the sub. Good luck!

Not sure anything can make Meatloaf sound good - just my personal, totally biased opinion.

Exile on Main Streets great treat is how sloppy and dirty it is.  That is why I love it.  Total excess in a time of total excess in the Rock Industry.

Some things are not made to be sonically perfect. Others are and should be.  Beware of the Dog by Hound Dog Taylor is supposed to sound like you are in the club with him drinking Old Grand Dad.
