Rock albums that sound good on your system?


Often, you put in a rock album into your S$10,000 system and the music, though enjoyable, just sounds harsh, grating, boomy and forward. Aside from several of my Pink Floyd albums, the rest of my rock CDs just sound bad. Are there any good rock recordings out there?

I mostly listen to vinyl and my favorite rock recordings are:
King Crimson:

Larks Tongues in Aspic
Islands
Lizard
Discipline
Three of a Perfect Pair.

CAN:

Soon Over Babaluma,
Ege Bamyasi,
Future Days,
Can,
Saw Delight,
Rite Time.

These are the best examples that sound superb in my analogue rig:
J.A. Michell GyroDec MK!V,
Incognito RB300, Lyra Helikon,
ARC PH3 SE(upgraded)fed directly to the amp with monoural volume controls.

There are a bunch more of Genesis, Yes, Zep, FZ, Hendrix MFSL(Electric Ladyland) -- superb!, ELO, ELP, Marillion, 10cc...

I will aim to upgrade to Orbe that is able to "tighten up" some extraneous softness of GyroDec with extra-heavy platter and different clamp and increase imaging as well.
Power supply from Orbe brings also a lot.

The regular albums are great, but the XRCD2 versions of "Brothers in Arms" by Dire Straits and "Hell Freezes Over" by Eagles are truly outstanding. Other great regular cds are SuperTramp's "Crime of the Century", "who's Next" (mentioned above), "Baja Sessions" by Chris Isaak, and Queen's "hits vol 7".
Neal Young: Harvest Moon
Eric Clapton: Unplugged - Reptile
Bob Dylan: Essential
The Neville Brothers: Yellow Moon
Chris Isaak: Heart Shape World
Jimi Hendrix: The Blues
Joe Jackson: Big World - Night and Day - Heaven and Hell
Bob Marley and the Wailers: All the new reissues
Talking Heads: Remain In Light - Stop Making Sense - Little Creatures - Speaking in Tongues - Naked
Roxy Music: Flesh and Blood - Avalon
The Beatles: Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band - Abbey Road
The Rolling Stones: Let It Bleed - Sticky Fingers (Bob Ludwig reissue)
Some of the very best recorded CD's are not secular. Try
DC Talk, the Newsboys or a soft rocker like Michael W. Smith. Not only will you be amazed at the recording quality
but you might even be able to feel good about the message.
