What is the VERY BEST CD album you've ever heard?

You folks who think everything is rock or pop.... I was around before rock n roll existed as well as pop although the other classes of music were already there for a long time. We certainly didn't call that music rock or pop for sure.

Frank mc 195 agree+1

Difficult choice. An album I am fond of from A to Z is L.A. women from The Doors (remastered)

@kb673 Yeah, you really don’t want to play this game.
The facts are all there for you. Some of us already have them. Some don’t.
Here are some Cliff Notes, a “Fake Book,” if you will: just Google “Tin Pan Alley.”
Then come and talk to me about “mountain music/bluegrass and blues.”
There you go again with “genre.”
If “pop” is a “genre,” please define it.

Nirvana Unplugged. I dont listen to ANY other Nirvana - but that CD is one of the best Ive ever heard. Couple live Dead albums come really close as well. Cant wait to comb this thread and discover some new music - great post.
