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

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.

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.

Shadowdance by Shadowfax…

@ 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"

Ane Brun : “How beauty holds the hand of sorrow” , Yello :  “Touch” , Mari Boine: ”The best of” ,…
