What is the VERY BEST CD album you've ever heard?


Just like with records, I came across releases on CD that were never popular, but bring lots of interesting music and so I started collecting CDs that do have collectible value for the reason of a great and rare music presented.

So far album "Sauce Hollandaise" by Ashra is on my #1 desirable list

"Best Band You've Never Heard In Your Life" by Frank Zappa is my 2nd best CD I've ever heard.

Beatles isn't a rock band. It's pure pop. Calling it rock is delusional.

That's a bit bizarre. Obviously, you're not aware of the rock tracks.

Can this be defined, my favourite album for content is Sade Diamond Life, but it's a poor recording. Gaucho by Steely Dan is a great recording but far from their best tracks. 25th anniversary Famous Blue Raincoat by Jennifer Warnes has great songs and excellent recording, losing the sibilance of the original. What do I listen to most, Based on a True Story, Fat Freddy's Drop. 

I can’t help but laugh when people make these delineations within pop music.  
It’s ALL POP.  
If it ain’t classical or jazz, it’s just a particular shade of pop.  
It was Perry Como, Rosemary Clooney, etc.  

Then Elvis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, etc.  

That pretty much did it.  
Everything we’ve enjoyed in pop the last 60+ years has been an offshoot of that “Rock and Roll Big Bang.” 
It’s ALL POP.  
Popular. Hence the abbreviation.
