audiophile rockers

I was listening to Steely Dan's Katy Lied CD ( played the LP endlessly in the seventies) and was reading the updated liner notes by Becker and Fagen...they were mastering the sound with double Maggies and an Audio Reseach D-76 amp back in 1974. Are there an other audiophile rockers like those two?

IMHO, there is no one like Becker and Fagen. They have always been concerned with sound quality. Steely Dan rules!

I remember hearing that Cat Stevens mastered with Maggies, too. Can't swear it's true tho.

Porcupine Tree's and Steven Wilson's albums are always produced with very high sound quality. And Porcupine Tree is phenomenal in concert, some of the best live sound I have ever heard - their sound man is a genius!

Neil Young. He's such a purist even to the point of fanatically focusing on what is in the signal chain for his guitar. He will not permit signal processors in the chain. The only concession to automation is a contraption that mounts on the top of his vintage 50's Fender Deluxe amp and mechanically adjusts the tone/volume/gain pots to predefined settings for the song he's playing.

His LPs/CDs reflect this attitude and are excellent in every regard.
