What are your "reference" CDs?


Hi, I would like to know what are your "reference" CD/CD's? My list are Randy Travis, Dixie Chicks, Ronny Cox, Martina McBride, Yanni, Sting, Eagles, Enigma, and Tim Mcgraw. Of course, there are others. As you can see from the list, I listen mostly country and rock. What are some other artist your perfer? BTW,I would use any genre other than the one specifed. Thanks and Happy Listening

My reference LPs: Ry Cooder "Jazz", Ry Cooder "Paris-Texas";
Tchaikovski/Rozhdestvenski "Swan Lake" and "Sleeping Beauty" boxed set; Pat Metheny "Offramp"; Can "Ege Bamiasi";
Frank Zappa "Uncle Meat"; King Crimson "Islands".

My reference CDs: Symphonic Tango(Teldec), John Pattitucci "One More Angel"(Concord Jazz); Praxis "Transmutation"; Lobos/Brouer/Piazzolla "Death of an Angel" symphonic compilation of latin composers; Guesch Patti "Blonde".
Sting and Eagles as well are all drastically compressed but if you like it you listen despite the quality of recordings.

Sting on vinyl sounds far a-lot better. Later digital remasters if such exist might sound much more better.

I personally loved Sting within the Police period. The later he goes the worse and the more pop his albums are.
