Polycarbonate Disc Bliss: The CD is alive and well

Despite what the audio press would have us believe, a very large number of enthusiasts still enjoy our CDs.

I would like like to start a list of EXCEPTIONALLY good sounding CDs for our fellow music lovers to seek out and enjoy. Here are a few, in no particular order, to begin:

1. Patricia Barber MSFL Cafe Blue;
2. Pretenders Isle of View;
3. All Prof. Johnson Reference Recordings;
4. Donald Fagan Morph The Cat
Please share more!

I love CDs! Love this thread. @tomcy6 take your tidal recos elsewhere! :)  I do find CDs sound better than Tidal if using comparable DACs. 

Anyway some of my faves for depth and detail:

David Bowie - Blackstar
Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest
Phil Collins - Face Value
Bon Iver - Bon Iver
Ibeyi - Ash

leemaze, They're all available on cd.  Tidal is a great way to find music that you would never hear otherwise.  Then you can decide if one or two listens is enough or if you need to buy the cd.
