Mr. JD Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 There are many albums I listen to just because they sound so good. Garth Brooks is a good example. I really don't care much for his music but his albums sound so good i enjoy listening to them. Here are few others that sound superior; Kansas - LeftovertureThe Cars - Candy-OThe Fixx - Ultimate HitsRush - CounterpartsJohn Mellencamp - Words and Music (Greatest Hits)Collective Soul - Dosage I can list a bunch of others. What's your opinion? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetaxe&saw Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Roxy Music - Avalon My go-to for sound. It's perfect to these ears. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 So far...everything I have heard by Steven Wilson. Really loved To The Bone, and finally listening to his music is mesmerising me. He is a perfect musician! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Roxy Music - Avalon My go-to for sound. It's perfect to these ears.For me, it gets better after each listen. It's also a very comforting place for my ears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Obvious choices: The Dark Side of the Moon and Aja. Not so obvious choices: 154 and Another Green World. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Pink Floyd, The Division Bell sounds very good too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. JD Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Arcade Fire - The Suburbs, one of the best sounding records I've ever heard. Music kinda sucks though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaportrailer Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 As mentioned above, Moving Pictures and Avalon are both beautifully recorded.The 3 King Crimson "new wave" albums (Discipline, Beat, 3 of a Perfect Pair) were also very well-recorded, as was "Hounds of Love" by Kate Bush.And I really enjoy the sound of Talk Talk's 'Laughing Stock'.('Spirit of Eden' while just as musically impressive, has a darker, gauze-like mix, where 'Laughing Stock' is crisp, clear and clean and pretty damn perfect.) I find the Steely Dan albums so slick they just roll right off my ears! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Tangerine Dream's Phaedra come to mind Fragile still sounds amazing today Bob Ezrin brought in a calliope, a choir, an orchestra, miked up his kids with a inner-ear microphone and KISS' Destroyer still sounds better than anything today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Don't Cry Now, Heart Like A Wheel, Prisoner In Disguise, Hasten Down The Wind, Simple Dreams; all by Linda Ronstadt and produced by Peter Asher. I'm not sure if you were thinking of solo vocal recordings when you asked the question, but Asher did such a wonderful job of catching the beauty of her voice back then. I really love that period of her work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Supertramp albums sound fantastic. Famous Last Words and Crime of the Century, in particular. Dire Straits' Love Over Gold and Brothers in Arms are perfectly recorded. Vastly different from those groups' albums, music-wise, but also stellar in sonic quality is Nirvana's Nevermind. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Boston - Don't Look Back I don't like the production, especially compared to the sound of the debut. I find that DLB has the vocals buried. Third Stage is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate2112 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) In the Woods... - Pure First album in like 15 years. One of my favorite bands and a totally unexpected style change. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JY0scq01SBs My Bloody Valentine - Loveless Astounding album, a sonic MASTERPIECE. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chaYm2TqfHM Paysage d'hiver Typical of this artist. My second favorite Black Metal act. The absolute master of atmosphere. His music will make you feel as if you're trapped in a blizzard in the alps and are literally at the edges of your life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSO77ExdzDk Edited September 16, 2017 by Nate2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
