+many more. I ran out of patience, typing. CDs are awesome, despite what people make them out to be. LPs were not great when they came out, I believe. They reached certain tech to make them sound as good as they are. CDs are reaching there, much faster with the newer DACs and improvements.

A totally different recommendation, if you like New Orleans Jazz - "Louis Ford and His New Orleans Flairs - Vintage Jazz". Very live!
+1 Chris Isaak
Dave Koz Greatest Hits
Simple Minds Glittering Prize 81/92
Encomium, A tribute to Led Zeppelin
John Fogerty Blue Moon Swamp
