Best POP audiophile recording/album...

I forgot about Janis Ian - Breakin the silence. Now that's a super album! I get lost in its sonic tapestry!

Dido "Life for Rent" is a very good "pop" CD, both music and recording wise.

I like The Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions" because it not only sounds great but the music is pretty good. Most of these sonic spectaculars have unfortunately bad or boring, or both music. I tend to stay away from Audiophile stuff, but with digital mastering continuing to improve there are better and better versions of great albums coming out all the time now, especially in jazz.

Marco, you got that right with Pop Pop, though I would rate it excellent, not quite good...

Dewald,
Which version of Famous Blue Raincoat - Jennifer Warnes do you have? My version does not sound that great ie: flat & lack in dynamics. I must have a very early version.
BTW, my current vote for the best Pop "audiophile" CD recording is Folk is the New Black - Janis Ian.

For those familar with Janis Ian, IMO this is one of her best to-date, great songwriting/singing & a 1st rate recording as well. At least equal or better than Breaking Silence.
