What are the "must have" HD Tracks albums?

HD Tracks is having a 20% off sale and I am wondering what recordings are worth buying from HD Tracks. I have read that there is a real range in the quality of the HD Tracks recordings and I wanted to make sure I only purchased the recordings that are worth the price premium of HD Tracks. I was thinking of buying the Marvin Gaye Collection and REM's Out of Time. Are there any others that are particularly recorded well in the HD format?

Some good ones for both content and sound...

any of the Steely Dan
Tom Petty, Damn the torpedoes
Eagles, hotel California
Jackson Browne, Running on empty
Getz/Gilberto
Bags meets Wes
Paulson Simon, so beautiful
Mark Knopfler, Shangra-la
Emmylou Harris, Producers cut
Grisman - Garcia - Rice, pizza tapes
Billie Holiday, Billie's blues

FWIW, I didn't think Band on the run sounded very good (at least compared to my vinyl copy)

Damn, they just released George Benson's Breezin in 24/96 today! That is one I would love if the sound quality is as good as Hotel California......Anyone out there thinking of giving that one a try? If anyone does, please report back with a review of the sound quality.
