It would be a very long list Albert, so here is a short version off the top of my head, and allowing for the fact that I can never remember the names of albums; Steve Poltz "One Left Shoe", almost anything by Shirley Horn but try "You Won't Forget Me" (great test disk also - if it sounds wrong in any way then the problem is with your system), all of Count Basie's small group stuff on Pablo, most of Bill Morrisey's stuff but try "You'll Never get To Heaven", Christy Moore's live album, Guy Clark's live album, various Chico Freeman, Bill Evans "Waltz For Debby" and the other Village Vanguard albums/sets, Cannonball Adderly's "Something Else", David Sylvian's "Songs From The Beehive, any Eric Bibb album, any non-fusion Miles Davis, almost any Ben Webster... did I mention Duke Ellington? ...
This is easy. Pink Floyd live recordings from the 1975 and 1977 tours. Om my, raving and drolling I fell on his neck with a scream! It cant get any better.
KORN follow the leader,METALLIA any.TOOL undertow.CREED human clay, ACDC stiff upper lip,ALICE IN CHAINS any,PINK FLOYD any,LED ZEP any,STONES any,NEIL YOUNG any ROCKIN HARD AT 45 and lovin it!!
I like most classic and modern rock also, too bad it's usually not recorded as well as the audiophile stuff.
I`ve played drums in a rock band for 35 years,I love all types of music!I agree with Carl there aren`t many recorded rock music these days that are done well, here are a few that I think sound good. Alan Parson Project most of them anyway, Bruce Cockburn`s stuff is done very well, DEAD CAN`T DANCE all of them, Chick Corea Akoustic Band, the live one is great ,the studio one sounds good as well, some of the stuff from Frank Gambale is done real good,I also like some of the ones done by Bill Bruford, the last two were killer, the new one from Steely Dan is done very well. Vital Information the last three were very good,as well as Steve Smith`s last two outings, I just love music,I love to play it and hear it at home , at 48 and still breaking sticks and heads!!!!! love it, just plain love it!!!!!
