Great Music to Intro Non-Audiophiles to the Hobby

my bro/sis in law came by, not audiophiles or big music buffs by any means, but do enjoy some music quite a bit.

played them U2's "in a little while" off 'all that you can't leave behind' and suddenly they got it....heads spinning looking for other speakers, perplexed how there was imaging between the speakers...awesome.

figure good intro music to non-audiophiles has to be very well-known & very well-recorded. other ideas include:

Stones: Sticky Fingers (Can't You Hear Me Knocking) or Goat's Head Soup (Angie)

Pink Floyd: anything off Wish You Were Here or Dark Side..

U2: aforementioned

AC/DC: 74' Jailbreak remaster

what else?

If you're just looking for something they might like to choose from (although you don't mention about how old they are) I can think of a slew of recordings on CD mostly from the 70's ('cause I'm an old fogey).

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (Deluxe Edition, usually any of the DSD remasters sound good...usually)

Hot Rocks (DSD)

Al Dimeloa's Elegant Gypsy (a bunch of different remasters, most all of them good)

I Robot from Alan Parsons

Dog and Butterfly and Little Queen from Heart

Cassandra Wilson's New Moon Daughter

Romantic Warrior by Return To Forever

Frampton Comes Alive (25th Aniv, DeLuxe Edition)

Al Stewart, Year of the Cat

461 Ocean Blv and Slowhand for Eric Clapton

Let It Roll, George Harrison

The Love Album, The Beatles

Glass Houses, Billy Joel

Marsallis and Clapton Play the Blues (2011)
