Best Sounding Classic Rock Cd's


Hi guys, new audiophile here and first time posting. As I improve my system I like to demo it to my friends. I know it’s hard to beat vinyl but I have found some CD’s that are well mastered and produced.

Hugh Laurie: Didn’t it rain and Let them talk.

Ronnie Earl: Grateful Heart and Steve Winwood: Back in the high life.

I’m looking for some recommendations on some Classic Rock CD’s or Blues, that are well mastered and produced.

I know you guys would be the ones to ask, Thanks Jim

Believe it or not, the CD Stadium Arcadium by The Red Hot Chili Peppers fills the bill and is really good rock music.

Individual songs that rock and are great recordings include the Snake bite song about Heroin on a Godsmack album, and "Like a Stone" on the Audioslave CD with Tom Morello, of Rage Against The Machine:on Guitar. This is one of the truly great rock guitar solos of all time, along with Martins Barre's solo on Jethro Tull's newer recording of "Aqualung Live" ,

If you like Blues, "Buddy Guy Live" is great, and his "Living Proof' is fabulous, especially when he decides to play like, but much better than, some imposters, at least after you hear this, :Only Three D Strings are necessary Slash, and the Van Halen genre of wannabe great guitar players. Buddy blows them away his later recording are as good as rock and blues can be..

A recording that is very interesting for a while, but has some great recording is the original "All Jamaica All Star Jazz Band, with absolutely great recordings of the trumpet and sax solos that jump into the room with you. 

The vocals on (Yes this is true, honestly.) "My Boy Lollipop" and "Walk On By" are astounding, bringing new life to songs I never even liked.
