Compare Side Two (the acoustic side) of the Beatles White Album to any Beatles album including Abbey Road and you will see why I chose the White Album as the best sounding.The sonics of Emerson, Lake and Palmer’s first LP, the one with Lucky Man and Just Take a Pebble are far superior to their more popular (in audiophile circles) Trilogy. The best sounding LP they ever did.
What you don't like Donovan, Arthur Brown, Canned Heat or any the others? Check out "On the road again" from Canned Heat their first and best sounding LP, I sounds very real and a great song to boot! And some of the other rock I listed has sound quality that is on par with better Jazz records.
Men Without Hats: Rhythm of Youth which is now 22 years old is the most modern rock music I like and sonically it is killer! This is an LP to show off your stereo system.
I noticed popular music going downhill since the mid 1980's and it has never recovered. Modern rock music is full of "distortion" on purpose; depressing lyrics and singers who sound like they just woke up from a nightmare. I'm sorry I just can't get into any Rock/Pop music written since the mid 1980's.
From your list:
Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon (Not bad but way over-rated, On the Run and Time are good, and there are some neat sound effects but the music just doesn't sound realistic)
Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here (I didn't like this LP at all for sound or music)
Supertramp: Crime of the Century (sound isn't bad on the MFSL LP but the I didn't care for the music, sold it on eBay)
Eagles: Hell Freezes Over (never owned it as I hated their other album Hotel California)
Roger Waters: Amused to Death (would like to hear this one, I do have the Video of In The Flesh Live on DVD 16 Bit 48kHz in 2 channel stereo)
Ricky Lee Jones (debut disk)(didn't like her voice)
Joe Jackson: Body and Soul (Don't like him either)
Beatles: Abbey Road (Great LP, white album better although Here Comes the Sun written by George Harrison is great)
Steely Dan: Aja (Had the MFSL of this one - I hated it sold it on eBay)
Steely Dan: Two Against Nature (Had the DVD-Audio of this because it was raved about, didn't like it either)
Alan Parsons: Turn of a Friendly Card (and nearly anything else) (This one I do like but sonically doesn't compare with the 15 I listed, all the Alan Parsons Project albums are good)
Fleetwood Mac: Rumors (Some really good songs, not best in sound though)
Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms (Had the 180 Gram LP and the SACD, very overrated and sound is good but not great)
Steve Winwood: Back in the High Life (Didn't like although I do like most of the Traffic LPs)
As Stewart: Time Passages (Hated the MFSL LP of this one at lot!)I don't pretend to know anything about Rock/Pop music except what I like and what sounds good on my system. Remember you asked me "What Rock I thought sounded good" since on my stereo Peter Gabriel sounds so bad. I was honest and I do have a clue Peter Gabriel doesn't sound good on my system, the ones listed I own and they do.
Happy listening and don't forget to boogie,
Teresa
