I often mistake best music for best sound/recording. Best music usually fades recording quality.

1. Dread Zeppelin "Un-Lead-eD"
2. Talking Heads "The Name of This Band..." live DbLp
3. Nina Hagen "Revolution Ballroom"
4. Marillion "Misplaced Childhood"
5. Van Der Graaf Generator "Still Life"

For rock I always go back to:
Lou Reed- Rock and Roll Animal- best version of sweet jane.
Yes- Yessongs- a top all time live album
David Bowie- Live in Philadelphia- Earl slick on guitar/David Sanborne on sax
The Cult- Love
Allman Bros.- Eat a Peach- Duane's slide is incredible
David Gilmore- Live at Gdansk- Pink FLoyd guitarist with a great back up band.
Hendrix- Electric Ladyland

I agree with the folks above about Steely Dan, Led Zep, supertramp, etc. These are just a few ideas for some rock and roll to crank and offend the wife/neighbors. Enjoy!

Thanks Russ69 I will have to pick that one up.

It seems Supertramp was uncompromising on their albums when it came to SQ. Like "Crime of the Century", "Breakfast In America" is also a very impressive one that if I didn't already know better, would swear was 24/96 sounding despite only being RB copies.

I can see from my choices that I must be a sucker for the "Sterling Sound" sound. Those guys definitely seem to have a talent for extracting every ounce of music out of a RB quality Rock album without chopping off the upper registers or killing it with over compression and loudness.
