Establishing a common analog listening bias

Maybe it is possible to establish a widely accepted common ground in terms of listening bias by choosing and agreeing on 10-30 LPs all readily available new to all audiophiles for decent price.
If all listening tests and personal comments regarding the sound of components and systems in the various threads and posts would refer to any of these LPs mainly, everyones comments and experiences would much easier be understood by their fellow Audiogoners.

How about an "Audiogon baker's double-dozen"?

This would create a solid ground for all of us.

How do you think about this ?

Dertonarm, I said earlier some people might be frightened by what they hear from there system, but that is always the case with change. I think this common ground is great, if you dont want to participate, stay out, but I think it would be extremely interesting to hear what other people hear(of course people can lie) when they listen to a record on there system, so I can compare how I experience it. Maybe I can gain some knowledge and if not I at least get to know a couple of new records.
Dertonarm please keep the other suggestions coming. I managed to find the first three on SACD as well.

Dear Perrew, you were/are right - I agree.
I will continue with my suggestions and if we can establish at least a group of interested A'goners (guess you, Halcro, Siltskin, Axelwahl, Syntax and a few others including myself... and maybe several more not yet posting in this thread but watching) are interested and do see the full possibilities of this common ground.
Great if most of the recording are available tooon either CD or SACD .
Most will be available in the upcoming years as HD-download with much higher data than on CD or SACD.
Thats why I am concentrating on timeless "classics", as they will be around forever - as time has already proofed the past 50 years.
My Classic suggestions to be added on saturday and Rock/Pop Sunday.
Please feel invited to add suggestions of your own for any of the categories.
Thank you,
D.

One more for the road, -- POP ~ cross-over.
Jesse Cook: "Tempest" on NARADA EQUINOX ND 63035

If this be available on LP, it'd be a knock-out album. Fast, up tempo flamenco guitar with punchy percussion, mostly instrumental (just as well :-).

This CD is used by some reviewer(s), which drew my attention to it. A CD I actually manage to listen to from beginning to end.
