In Classical Music, the BIS label has recorded the Charioscuro String Quartet in Haydn and Beethoven that at least in DSD are the closest thing to having the ensemble appear to be in my listening room.

I agree with many if not all of the albums listed... I think Alanis Morissette's, Jagged Little Pill is pretty great & impactful front to back. Defines the 90s in many ways
