Recordings to die for - R R only

i'm interested in people's expeiences with quality recordings in the specific genre of rock and roll...we're talking Stones, Doors, Zepplin, Nirvana, Soundgarden, R&R. have there been any recordings that really surprised you with depth, imaging, soundstaging...you know that audiophile thing. feel free to include re-masters, DCC, MFSl, etc. i'd like to hear specific examples (as opposed to "try anything Steve Hoffman does at DCC" commentary. thanks for your ears

Check out our recording of the Fallen Angels. They remind me of "Desperado"-style Eagles.

Don't know if this fits into your genre, but Nine Inch Nails "The Fragile" is IMHO an amazing modern recording - it is explosive, dynamic, has a wealth of detail, subterranean bass etc. Not for the timid - the lyrics are rather dark.
