CD vs LP - Who cares when it's a crappy recording?


I read the recent post about CD vs. SACD vs. LP's. I have a CD player only, and am new to audiophile-dom. But I must say, I'd be a happy camper if all my CD's sounded as good as my best CD. I'm way less concerned with improving the source sound of the FORMAT, and way more concerned that some of my CD's sound beautiful while others just suck.

Wouldn't you trade in all the discussion about better formats if the recording engineers would all get their acts together so that any type of music you bought would sound as good as possible for its format?

Also, can someone confirm that there are as many bad recordings on record as there are on CD?

Of course there is much difference of opinion about what constitutes a great recording as there is about different formats.
I actually care more about the music than the recording and that's another set of opinions again........
