what are the "must have" CD's

For years, I've invested in quality sound equipment and have a small collection of CD's of different types.....but I realize that there are problaby some "must have" CD's that really show just how good (or bad) a system really is. This isn't a quest for who your favorite female singer is...or what orchestra you like the best....I'm really after sonic quality and sonic range (gotta show off the sub and boomy rock probably isn't the best way to do it).

I'm open to suggestions in most any musical category...the only qualification is that the CD has to be readily available and not some collector's item.

If there is already a list somewhere..please point me to it....or post your suggestions.

Sid42,

I cannot believe you mentioned that Thom Rhotella CD and that cut. Twenty years ago when I got back into high-end audio, I went to a dealer in Phoenix and they were playing that cut on that CD through their best system. I bought the CD immediately and used it back then when auditioning equipment and testing bass and dynamics and it always brings back fond memories.

Every few years I pull it out and play that track (and track #7) thinking it will have lost its magic and I'll realize I am glorifying an old fond memory and every time I am wrong - IT STILL ROCKS!!!!!

Thanks, as soon as I hit the "send" button, I am gonna go pull the CD out and see how it sounds through my Rockports!!!
