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.
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.

I can’t help but laugh when people make these delineations within pop music. Then Elvis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, etc. That pretty much did it. |
The remastered 96 bit It’s a Beautiful Day cd sounds spectacularly good, especially “Wasted Union Blues”…..one of the heaviest tunes of the 60’s. My Hendrix Band of Gypsies cd with 2 bonus cuts was (I think) rare up until the complete concerts box set can out and has it all. So do bootleg cds count? I have some Stones bootlegs that are pretty good (was gonna mention The Beatles bootlegs but….) Occasionally box sets sell out and aren’t available except used. The Ten Years After 1967 - 1974 complete albums box has been reissued but packaging is inferior and doesn’t contain the “discovered” Cap Ferrat recordings. |
@ czarivey Where is "rock" identified as a qualifier? ... by who's definition? @ tylermunns Blues is not pop, classical or jazz; many of the artists mentioned are not "pop," and do not fit cleanly in one of your three grossly oversimplified categories of music. +1 for It's a Beautiful Day King Crimson, "Starless and Bible Black" |
