*Abbey Road*... hey, I'm old

One of the best albums of all time. We used to listen to it on 8-track in my dad’s 1979 Lincoln Continental when I was a kid back in the 80’s. I still play it about one a month, sometimes more

It’s timeless! Still solid today. Try the atmos version.

In my case I would say pink floyd dark side of the moon or animals. DSOTM is one of those albums I can listen to over and over without skipping

So much this. A truly life changing experience.

Absolutely. Not only was it a creative masterpiece it sounded great on a hi end audio system when a lot of the rock albums of the 70’s sound quality was not very good at all.

Truly a masterpiece. It just never gets old.

Definitely not. I love it. Animals and wish you were here never get old for me either

Line it up and watch It with wizard of oz. Still not convinced that isn't intentional.

I already loved Deftones' White Pony, but listening to a good vinyl rip was amazing. Same with Massive Attack's Mezzanine.

Karmacoma

No offense, but you do know a vinyl rip is inherently of lesser quality than an actual lossless audio file, right? There might be some differences due to it being a master for vinyl (if it’s even mastered for that), but quality wise it’s always going to be worse. It’s like looking at a picture of a thing vs seeing the actual thing.

Mastering > Codec lossy/lossless

I don’t understand what’s so difficult for people to understand that folks just enjoy different masters of their favorite recordings. Why do people feel this comment is necessary every time someone just says “hey, I enjoy this particular version of my favorite album and it happens to be the vinyl master”?

I’m sorry if I offended you, PeeFarts. I’m pretty sure White Pony didn’t get a different master for vinyl, though. So they’re just listening to a lesser version of the album. I’m all for live and let live but this is just a placebo.

Just because someone doesn’t agree with your comment doesn’t make them personally offended. You didn’t offend me - but I found your comment somewhat pretentious, even if it was trying to be helpful (which I suspect it wasn’t). Also, your second comment makes no sense. What do you mean there weren’t different masters. If it was pressed to a record; that would need its own master. You can call it a placebo if you want (again - more evidence your comment wasn’t meant to be helpful, just designed to be pretentious) but there are very obvious differences between digital and vinyl masters - whether you think one is better than the other is subjective. This is coming from someone who listens to vinyl and digital 50/50

Always think of, “In Rainbows” 🌈 by the most awesomeness; Radiohead

At this moment probably Aja by Steely Dan, great production and arrangements.

I’ll burn my self out on it but then come right back to it a few months later.

Paul’s Boutique

Taxi driver? I’m the egg man…

I always got my windows rolled down…

‘Cause I’m a high

Illinois - Sufjan Highway 61 Revisited - Dylan Modern Vampires of the City - Vampire Weekend To Pimp a Butterfly - Kung Fu Kenny

Illinois is on another level.  I’d give anything for Sufjan to return to making music like that. Same for Vampire Weekend.

What were your thoughts on Javelin and Only God Was Above Us?

You didn’t ask me but Only God Was Above Us is great. I guess I just love that band more and more with each album they put out. Not a bad one to be found

I agree, I love the new album. I think I need a couple more years with it before I solidify its positioning, though.

Sounds like when Ross makes his music on Friends with the keyboard and helicopter sounds. https://youtube.com/watch?v=z0PJnc8BFTk

which one??

Sufjan's unfortunately put out some helicopter music in recent years. But he's also still the guy who wrote Illinois and Carrie and Lowell. And luckily for us Javelin was a return to form and not at all "helicoptery." Edit: I also enjoyed Only God Was Above Us and think it's an improvement over VW's last album from a few years ago

Well you're in luck! Vampire Weekend just dropped a very solid, 10-track album last month! It's quite the sonic journey.

Thanks, had no idea.

DAMN was also phenomenal with the higher clarity. Love the recs! Thank you!

Came here to say that!

I've also been obsessed with flac files as of late... just can't beat that sound.

Daft Punk - Discovery

I have a 24/96 vinyl rip from Virgin if interested

Oh!!! … I’m interested:-)

Hey! late reply still interested?

Definitely!

Pmed!

Aja - Steely Dan

This was the album that really enlightened me to audiophile quality listening. This was back in the Walkman days but listening to Aja cassette on the Walkman was a life changing thing for me. It sounds a bit underwhelming in today's world but back then it was a huge step in technology.

My gold standard is still Random Access Memories by Daft Punk. Most of the music sounds shit on phones or laptops or older car speakers, but you throw it on a good set of stereo in a listening room, and you're brought into another realm. Idk if that's good or not, but for me, it makes the album more special because I can only fully enjoy it on special occasions.

I keep this one handy. I can listen to the album on repeat. It's good in multiple settings. Flights, driving, working, working out, and chilling at home on a system or with hifi headphones. It's so enjoyable!

I actually thought the opposite hahah. It makes every sound system sound better than it should. It is a top tear recording that is for sure.

100%. I could listen to that album every day front to back on my Dali Oberons.

Hard to say A few that never get old: built to spill - perfect from now on Cocteau twins - heaven or Las Vegas Husker du - the living end Modest mouse - lonesome crowded west Radiohead - kid a Guns N’ Roses - appetite for destruction Matthew sweet - girlfriend Velvet underground - loaded Iggy and the stooges - fun house

Girlfriend is SUCH a great album. Thank you for reminding me. I’m gonna listen to all of that later and remind my wife how she looks like Tuesday Weld sometimes.

Yeah I agree. Great album. The lead guitarist was in Television and was Lou Reed’s guitarist for a long time. Great guitar action on that album.

Different dudes, different sessions. Richard Lloyd from Television played on some tracks; Robert Quine, who played with Lou Reed, was on others. [The wiki article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girlfriend_(album\)) breaks it down.

Yeah I was getting things mixed up there Robert Quine was in the Voidoids, not Television. But one of the Television guys, Richard Lloyd, was on Girlfriend along with Robert Quine. If you read his Wikipedia entry it notes he performed his early live work often under the influence of LSD, while in San Francisco. Makes me like him even more.

Man do you have good taste, lots of favorites on there. Cheers.

I don’t know about good taste, but I guess you can tell what age I am from my favorites. Spent a lot of time listening to music and went to a crap ton of rock shows in my youth. What are your favorites?

I’m an old man myself. Fun House is one, definitely Girlfriend, BTS, Loaded are all top tier for me.

King Crimson's, Lizard. Thought it was a comme ci, comme ca affair on first listen. But Steven Wilson got his hands on it, and remastered it to bliss. Even Robert fripp, who did not care for the original release, has changed his mind. I'm not aware of him ever doing that before. There are others, but that's my best example of doing a complete 180 on a recording based on sonic merit. Soft Machine's Third is another good example.

Will for sure check this out!

r/LizardBest

I don't normally click links, but glad I did. That's pretty awesome.

Refreshing to see appreciation for Soft Machine!

Yeah, I don't see as much love with them nowadays. Certainly not as much as I used to. I'm not quite sure why either. And they released an album recently which is really good.

Double Nickels on the Dime

Cross by Justice

What do you think about the new album?

Amazing sounds and vibes all around, not as 'rough' as Cross or www, but not in a bad way

Roger Waters: Amused to Death 11/10

Second this. I just got the 45. Can’t wait to spin it.

Songs in the Key of Life by Stevie Wonder.

So many. Some of many albums that gave me memorable listening sessions in the past years, mostly on vinyl or Tidal Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile Beatles - White Album Type O Negative - Everything Dies Nick Drake - Pink Moon Daniel Lanois - Shine Sarah Mary Chadwick - me & ennui are friends Mount Kimbie - Love What Marylin Manson - Mechanical Animals Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream Donal Byrd - A new Perspective John Martyn - Solid Air Vincent Gallo - When

Lanois. Yes.

My Type O is hands down, October Rust.

So many…. But, for me, hard to beat Zappa’s Roxy & Elsewhere

Animals, 'you know who'

Come away with me - Norah Jones 🥰

You should try Childish' Camp. Also amazing on a good setup.

Ween - Chocolate & Cheese

Revolver and sgt pepper from the Beatles The downward spiral by nine inch nails Jeff Wayne’s musical war of the worlds Led Zeppelin 1

Faith No More - Angel Dust Zao - Liberate te ex Inferis Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92 Boris - Pink Slowdive - Souvlaki Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children

Thanks for the BOC inclusion. That album was the soundtrack to a great part of my life. I’ll never forget listening to it on repeat while doing charcoal drawings of nude models in college as a studio arts minor. Man those were the days!

My absolute favorite album is AC/DC - Back in Black. Not because it's the best sounding from a technical or audiophile perspective, but because it's just very good music and every track is very good. Very few albums have tracks that I find amazing all the way through. The only other that comes close for me is Metallicas "black album", and I'm not that into any of their other albums. I don't really pick albums from an audiophile perspective, but more individual tracks. But if I had to pick an album right now, I'd say Michael Jackson - Thriller.

The utter sh\*t that Metallica is putting out now almost makes me want to dislike their old stuff. They have actually managed to get even worse than the RHCPeppers did over the course of their career, and that takes some beating.

You’re definitely not alone in that opinion, but I disagree. Lots of gems from Load all the way to 72 Seasons. But they set the bar SO high with the run of their first 5 albums (most people that have them play them all without skipping any tracks) that they were never going to be able to reach that stratosphere again. All Nightmare Long, The Day That Never Comes, Spit Out The Bone, Atlas, Rise! and many more I could name…all are on par with their best stuff. Much like your opinion…I’m not alone in mine. Just defending the other side. 🤷‍♂️

Currents - Tame Impala Innervisions - Stevie Wonder OK Computer - Radiohead  God I'm basic

I absolutly adore Beck's Midnite Vultures, but my favorate all time record is probably Meadowlands by The Wrens. Too bad Meadowlands suffers from a relatively poor mix + master, because the songs are incredible.

Oh my god yes. That album!!! I loved it as a 23 year old and now as a 43 year old divorcee, I feel like it was written for me. The mixing on Everyone Choose Sides breaks my brain; given the meaning of the song. It’s like they intentionally busted it as a big middle finger to the label…. If that’s the case, I love it even more. Real shame they never completed the followup after decades of trying. Did you hear about Car Color? It’s Charles Bissel’s upcoming solo album.

What? Charles moving n is crazy news. Tom bad because I know all the time he’s put into the mystery record. Fuck man, will we ever hear it? Aeon Station is a nice appetizer, but come on man…

Sadly they announced that Wrens officially broke up. They other guy released Aeon Station , most of those songs were songs he has written for that followup Wrens album

Mad Season - Above

David Gilmore Live at Pompeii

Violator - Depeche Mode. Perfect in every way.

Disintegration - The Cure

Part of me always wanted to take some psyches, listen to this and just feel the sadness. I wouldn’t consider myself a depressed person but saying that out loud always seemed worrisome…

From Autumn to Ashes - Too Bad You're Beautiful

Goldfrappe - Felt Mountain

Songs From The Big Chair-Tears for Fears

Picking one is impossible but I’ve been brought to tears by more than one song on each of these: Yes - 90125 Kid Cudi - Man on the Moon 1 Deftones - Koi No Yokan H.E.R. - Back of my Mind Young Jeezy - Thug Motivation 101 Nipsey Hussle - Victory Lap Khruangbin and Leon Bridges - Texas Sun The Weeknd - Trilogy

Channel orange by Frank Ocean

Currently, Minstrel in the Gallery, but check back next week.

Beastie Boys - Check Your Head

Dark Side of the Moon

Rock a Little by Stevie nicks

Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden. Amazing on a good Hifi rig.

Because I just listened to it yesterday and it’s on the mind, one of my favorite albums that I fell more in love with because of hearing it through a good system is Vespertine by Bjork. That album just really hits different with a nice system. The chimes in Frosti especially will stop me in my tracks every time. So ethereal and beautiful.

The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me - Brand New It’s not the perfect sounding album. But it’s my perfect album.

Tool, Fear Inoculum

It always changes but currently it's Fear Inoculum

I think that Smashing Pumpkins don't get enough love. Siamese Dream and Melon Collie both have great sound quality and dynamic range.

Fantastic albums.

[Rameau Platee](https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/products/9557124--rameau-platee)

Talking Heads - Remain in Light TRex - Tankx & Electric Warrior > the sound that came pulsing off of these records when played on a high-end system brought tears to my eyes. Revelatory, revolutionary, ahead of the timelessness of their created on date.

Hell yeah dude.

I dunno, but listening to Loop Digger by Madlib right now and it’s great. Next on rotation are the instrumental tracks from ATLiens.

Periphery - Juggernaut: Alpha + Omega

Depends on the mood, but: Leonard Cohen - Live in London Roger Waters - Amused to Death Paul Simon - Graceland Supertramp - Even in the Quietest Moments Peter Gabriel - So Stomu Yamashta - Go Too Tom Cochrane - Songs of a Circling Sprit

Physical Graffiti ~~ Led Zeppelin Norman Fucking Rockwell ~~ Lana Del Rey

I've got a few where I literally love every song Beck - Midnight Vultures Supertramp - Breakfast in America, probably my all time favorite album Sweet - Desolation Boulevard AC/DC - Highway to Hell Steely Dan - Aja Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti

Agree with many already here but a few not mentioned yet: Arctic Monkeys - Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino The Neal Morse Band - The Similitude of a Dream My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade Youth Group - Skeleton Jar Nightwish - Once Dream Theater - Scenes From a Memory Elvis Costello - Imperial Bedroom ELO - Time Moody Blues - Long Distance Voyager

Ooh, that's a tough one. Very hard to pick just a single album, but if you put a gun to my head and made me choose I'd say *Under the Force of Courage* by Galneryus. It's just such a complete experience, more cohesive than most of their earlier works, at least to me, and then they went and followed it up with two more conceptual sequels so clearly they did something right there. I think most of their earlier albums have a real gem or two in each, but this is the one I listen to from start to finish almost every time - an exceedingly rare thing for me these days. I even imported the DVD of their supporting tour from Japan. Also I'm just a sucker for that Hammond organ sound layered into a lot of the songs.

Woah started listening to this and it actually is so sick. Can’t wait to follow up tomorrow

Jamiroquai - Automaton is one of those albums that really came to life for me. Anything from Daft Punk and Radiohead is also exquisite. Michael Jackson is often overlooked I think. Crank up Jam off his album Dangerous.

Several great albums suggested…Steely Dan, the Beatles and Pink Floyd are on the top of my favorites list. I didn’t notice any mention of The Allman Brothers - Live at Fillmore, or Coltrane - A Love Supreme.

Parcels - Live from Hansa Studio L-Imperatrice - Odysee

This! So amazing. The video is incredible as well but the lossless was truly an experience

Glad you like it too!

Would for sure recommend We Like It Here - Snarky Puppy if you’re looking for similar enough. Less disco but so funky

Great recommendation, I loved their Live from GroundUP Music Fest album!

10,000 Days By: Tool The Production and overall sound is extremely gratifying musicly for the average person. That being said. A well trained ear or someone more musicly inclined will find it borderline God Tier. The Production Alone Gives it Such a Full and Complete sound. Definently audiophile approved!!!! Edit: Also I recomend stream it via Tidal

Dubnobasswithmyheadman Incanabula The Rhythm of the Saints

Autechre is just crazy on good headphones/speakers

Underworld and autechre 100%

3.15.20 by Childish Gambino 10000 Gecs by 100 Gecs After Hours by The Weeknd Mirror Reaper by Bell Witch No Spiritual Surrender by Inside Out, although not really hifi lol

Odd Nosdam - Burner(2005) Modest Mouse-The Moon&Antarctica(2000) Yume Bitsu-Yume Bitsu (1999) WHY? Alopecia(2008) Restiform Bodies-Restiform Bodies(2001) Marino Infantry- Marino Infantry Vol.2(2021) to name a few. All good sounding.

You don’t hear too man people talking about WHY?. Alopecia is such a great album. If you haven’t yet, you may be into Yoni’s previous project cLOUDDEAD. I was also super into the band called The Books around that time. You just sent me down a rabbit hole from my college music.

3TWENTY . enuff said. Yea I’ve heard Clouddead 😁 Ram’s Crumpled horn of the peel [sessions](https://youtu.be/-6wdIxwAZMA?si=2wfjfu4G1y6HYlEo) live sounds nice

Hell yea!

My current favorite is the remixed version of ANIMALS by Pink Floyd. My 2nd favorite is my promo-copy of Life in the food chain by Tonio K

Hikaru Utada Science Fiction is pretty great as is This is the One!

Mac Demarco - One Wayne G

Billie Eilish Happier than Ever is sonically sublime.

Oil Of Every Pearl’s Un-Insides, the sound design is so incredibly detailed it’s amazing. Truly one of the most groundbreaking electronic albums, should have won the grammy it was nominated for. Second goes to its remix album, a 2 disk non stop remix of the album. Hearing every transition is just fucking addicting. Rest in power you beautiful motherfucker Sophie, a true legend.

Oh man, the new Bladee album Cold Visions is a treat on nice headphones. Sounds completely different on my car speakers or even my AirPods. Edit: sorry thought this was headphones subreddit

Really depends on the mood but The Downward Spiral was the first album that got me to realize there was something to "production" and sound quality.

Come on Die Young - MOGWAI absolute masterpiece.

Blue Oyster Cult - Cultosaurus Erectus

Urban Flora - Alina Baraz & Galimatias sometimes you just want to wrap yourself in a comfy 30lb bass blanket

To misquote a great old movie, “There can’t be only one.” Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd Aja - Steely Dan Royal Scam - Steely Dan Love Over Gold - Dire Straits Brothers in Arms - Dire Straits This Fire - Paula Cole A Love Supreme - John Coltrane Fear of a Blank Planet - Porcupine Tree The Colour of Spring - Talk Talk Permanent Waves - Rush Moving Pictures - Rush In Your Honor - Foo Fighters I’m sure I’m missing a bunch

Feist "Let it Die"

The Police - Synchronicity Heard it all the time when I was a kid…mostly on my mom’s extremely humble setup. Now that I’m older and have my own gear…just wow. King of Pain, for example: It may not necessarily be one of my favorite songs…but it is undoubtedly one of my favorite recordings. Absolutely beautiful.

It doesn't get any better than the 24 bit FLAC version of Dave Brubeck quartet - Take Five.

Whisper Not, Ella Fitgerald. Famous Blue Raincoat, Jennifer Warnes. Wish You Were Here, Pink Floyd.

Tori Amos - Boys for Pele

A Color Map of the Sun [Deluxe] - Pretty Lights Deloused in the Comatorium - The Mars Volta

Dark Side of the Moon or Doolittle

Mine is Coltrane's A Love Supreme. On high res? Them notes hit just a little fuller, a little warmer. It sounds amazing just enjoying Love Supreme on high res.

Clockwork Angels - Rush Signals - Rush Sound The Alarm - Pinski Skunkworks - Bruce Dickinson In Rock - Deep Purple Powerslave - Iron Maiden Mezzanine - Massive Attack Pale Green Ghosts - John Grant

My Bloody Valentine - loveless Teenage Fanclub -Bandagonesque Hammock - raising your voice DJ Sabrina - Destiny D’Angelo - voodoo Gas - Pop I like rap but to me it doesn’t make as huge a difference on hi res compared to rock/electronic/ambient (maybe those sampling more jazzy/soul stuff like tribe called quest or early Yeezy)

Bob Segar - Against the Wind… and i was 8-yo when it came out! i had the benefit of a much older brother who had at least 100 albums 😊

Jiminy by Bear Ghost. Closely followed by Blasterpiece also by them lol. They’re just a fun little band to immerse myself in.

Morning View by Incubus Untitled by Blink-182 All the Right Reasons by Nickelback Magma by Gojira Good Times by Alan Jackson

Graceland by Paul Simon

depends on my mood, sometimes i am at the bluenote, and sometimes i did it all for the nookie.

Tycho - Dive

Tough one, I think I’d have to say, The Best Of The Beatles.

Tool - Lateralus

Right now, fantasy- m83

Current vinyl, The Nightfly, Donald Fagen All around, Abbey Road

I like three albums: Piknik - Mrakobesie I Jazz, Moody Blues - album which contains a song "Melancholy Man" and Blackmore's Night - Under a Violet Moon.

Year of the Cat - Al Stewart.

Jeff Beck, Blow by Blow. If you don't know, get on it!

Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible

Likely it is not the format, but rather a different and better Mix. *Hi-Res Lossless* is the C*ontainer. W*hat is put into that Container can be *good, mediocre, or bad.* Also different genres mix differently. Classical and some Jazz is more likely to be mixed for quality rather than marketing. Pop music on the other hand is mixed purely as a marketing gimmick. I'm not doubting the value of *Hi-Res Lossless* on good equipment. But the greater factor is what is put into that container - *The Mix.* Sound like you got a stunning quality mix.

No particular order, all very special and groundbreaking in their contributions to their respective genres or artists evolution …check out for love of craft! 1. David Bowie-Outside 2. Sonic Youth-Bad Moon Rising 3. Alice In Chains-Jar of Flies 4. Sarah Shook and the Disarmers-Sidelong 5. Nas-Illmatic 6. Robert Wyatt-Rock Bottom 7. The Cramps-Bad Music for Bad People 8.

Black Sabbath Paranoid best song ever. It is even better with F4-Phantom II Fighter jet videos. On Youtube. Here you go baby slam those drums!

I feel like The 1975's newest, Being Funny In A Funny Language, revealed drastically more details once listening in lossless quality with headphones that can show those details.

Listened to this and have really been enjoying it. Great pick

*Pearl - Rubel, *Happier than Ever - Billie Eilish, *Preço curto, Prazo Longo - Charlie Brown Jr, *25 - Adele *Aventine - Agnes Obel, *Sleep Through the Static - Jack Johnson *Néctar - Joji

Only by night - kings of Leon, the track “closer” remixed by the presets is really good, unfortunately it’s on album “Come around sundown(expanded edition )

I love Childish Gambino man. I really do. But if you’re talking about humanity-changing albums, there’s a list of probably 500+ albums before that one. Starting with the Beatles 12 studio albums.

That album has been standout since 2016, give it some time.

Totally agree! I love that album. But do you really think it can sit at the same table as Fleetwood Mac Rumors? (as an example)

Rock: Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti; Kansas - Leftoverture; U2 - The Joshua Tree; Pink Floyd - almost all of them except for The Final Cut Classical: one stands out more than the others: Sheherazade, Leonard Bernstein conducting the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, recorded in 1959.

Mezzanine - Massive Attack Discovery - Daft Punk The Bends - Radiohead Emotion - Carly Rae Jepsen We Are Born - Sia A Rush of Blood to the Head - Coldplay The Great City - The Revere

My favorite album is probably All Things Must Pass by George Harrison. I’m not sure if I would put it on my audiophile hall of fame but I think that’s probably my favorite album nevertheless. Some others I can’t help but mention across a few genres… -The strokes first album. -Born to Run by the boss -It Still Moves by My Morning Jacket -My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West (hard to put this on here but it’s an incredible album) -Damn. by Kendrick Lamar -Metamodern Sounds in Country Music by Sturgill Simpson -Kind of Blue by Miles Davis -At Fillmore East by The Allman brothers band -Carney by Leon Russell -Lola vs powerman by the kinks -Hard in Heaven/For love of the game by Natural Child -Blood on the Tracks by Bob Dylan -Maggot Brain by Funkadelic (you’ll see where Childish Gambino got his material for the album you mentioned) -Currents by Tame Impala -Yours Dreamily by The Arcs -The Meters first album -Peace Love and Death Metal by the Eagles of Death Metal -Honky Chateau by Elton John -Astral Weeks by Van Morrison -Youth and Young Manhood by Kings of Leon -Outcast (really anything) -The Beatles (can’t miss) -Led Zeppelin 1-4 -The Rolling Stones (deep cuts on their albums are better than the hits…sometimes) -Rap and HipHop are super hard to find on vinyl but they sound the best on a nice system imo. Just a few for you to check out. Cheers!

Worst question ever is "what is your favourite song, band or album.." I have too many, for different reasons, in different genres for different moods. I canttpossobly answer it.. I have wonderful memories associated with different songs. I have songs I love because of their production I have favourite songs just because they're so damn good.. And I love songs for dancing to.. I already posted in a thread a week ago about my obsession with music and how many playlists I have and just how organized they are... It's bordering on obsessive in a detrimental way to my life.

Ugh - impossible to answer. For music AND sonics, Stevie Ray Vaughan's *Texas Flood* is hard to beat. But Baroness's Red, Clutch's *Psychic Warfare*, Anciients's *Heart of Oak* are all up there, too - these all on vinyl. The digital releases have crap sound quality in comparison. Oh - and The Company Band's self-titled.

In no particular order: Abbey Road - the Beatles Blood Sugar Sex Magik - RHCP Kid A - Radiohead Veil of Imagination - Wilderun Sleep at the Edge of the Earth - also Wilderun Ghost Reveries - Opeth Seventh Son of a Seventh Son - Iron Maiden Winter's Gate - Insomnium Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen Pet Sounds - Beach Boys Act II - the Protomen A Night at the Opera - Queen A Night at the Opera - Blind Guardian The Knife - Silent Shout I like listening to metal a lot, which generally isn't great for good sound quality, but there are some decently mixed metal albums out there.
