What are songs where people or instruments sound closer to you?

So stereo separation is relatively easy but what are some songs/albums where the singer seems closer to you. So we all can see the Beatles on stage with Ringo in the back, Paul on the front left, George in the back right and John in the front right. 


What music would you all suggest where you can hear both the left / right separation and the front / back separation?  I hope I’m making myself clear.

Thanks.

Try a lot of Chris Isaak songs.

You're talking about soundstage depth. Late 50s and 60s jazz analog originals would be a good place to start.

Cheeky recordings are particularly good at delivering a natural sound stage.  For example, listen to Rebecca Pidgeon singing “Spanish Harlem.”  Another outstanding example of soundstaging is Natalie Merchant singing “Peppery Man” with backing vocals by the Fairfield Four.”
