Best POP audiophile recording/album...

Hey Warrenh,
I have grown to enjoy Janis Ian "great singing", yes I meant her voice as well. She's does not have the "best" voice but again YMMV. If I were to compare Janis to say Jennifer Warnes, they are of a different league as far as I 'm concern. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy both singers but if I were to choose, it won't be difficult.
Cheers,

Not the best,yet recorded very well...
Rosanne Cash "Rules of Travel" comes to mind at the moment.
"Life on a String" gets even better through HDCD decode.

XTC -- Apple Venus or Oranges and Lemons. Can listen to either of these over and over.

PORCUPINE TREE, "IN ABSENTIA" mix of old King Crimson, Jetro Tull and Genesis!!!

Not quite POP though, but Janis Ian has a few great albums!
