Recommend your best sounding LP's


I am receiving a new TT today and am looking to add to my collection of great albums.  I have been sorting an extensive collection from my father (mostly 60's).  I am open to all kinds of music as long as the recording is amazing.  I know of the usual suspects (Pink Floyd, Dire Straights, Cowboy Junkies).  What I am looking for is recommendations on some more obscure music I may not be familiar with yet.  I am really enjoying Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Frank Sinatra for example.  Wasn't really my thing until recently.  I guess that is another benefit of a high-quality system.  Please recommend an artist and specific album down to the pressing information if you can.  Thanks in advance!!!!

Lots of good advise above. Wilco's latest is very well recorded, as are most of theirs. If you like that you may want to try Yankee Foxtrot from them as well. Jeff Tweety's solo album is also very good. Grateful Dead's Reckoning album is good, as is american beauty & workingman's dead. I have the original pressings of them. Traffic's low spark of high healed boys is recorded well. I'm not sure what pressing I have, but have had it since the 80's. Tom Waits earlier albums (prior to the last 2) were recorded well. Clem Snide's hungry bird (original pressing) is good. David Bowie's hunky dory album (bought it in the early 80's) is another good one. Bardo Pond's "Dilate" (original pressing) is an album full of fuzzy guitars with some acoustic ones thrown in for good measure, is very interesting music that's recorded well. That's it for now. There are really soooo many... Enjoy!
