Can Rock-N-Roll have great sound quality?


I need help finding well recorded rock-n-roll. Dire Strait's "Brothers in Arms",Queensryche's "Empire",Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" are good and so are some of Heart's. All Van Halen is really bad, and everybody else is in between. I have Dave Koz's self titled cd and nothing in the rock genre comes close. Please help my 802's.

Though the rock genre has its share of clunkers, to be sure, there are some jewels in there. Just off the top of my head:

Most Moody Blues albums
"Van Halen"--the DCC gold version will make short work of the notion that all VH sounds bad
Most ABBA albums
Many Beatles albums
Paul McCartney: "McCartney I," "Ram"
Cars: "The Cars"
Most Dire Straits albums
Fleetwood Mac: "Rumours" and "Tusk"
Eagles: "Hotel California"

There are many, many others, but I've run out of steam (haven't had my morning cup o coffee yet). Anyway, while rock often gets a bad rap about the sound quality of its titles, there are still some pretty choice offerings out there. Ya just gotta look!
