I could make a large list here, I own several MFSL’s, I even got a one step Blood Sweat and tears.

Rather than that I will mention just a couple recently acquired that I’ve been impressed with.

Elton John: Honkey Cat 180gm remaster.

Vanessa Fernandez: Right On For The Darkness on Groove Note mastered and cut by Bernie Grundman.

@emfro Breakfast in America sounds fantastic on my system.
The period pressing and the 33rpm MFSL.
Good exercise OP!

Let's see ... many good ones above; what might I suggest:

Kamikiriad, Don Fagan et al. (Could be best produced work since Moving Pictures, Rush)
Widespread Panic
Big Head Todd and the Monsters:
Miles Davis
Beethoven Violin Concerto; Anne Sophie Mutter ... she gets more sound outta a violin!!
Oh, anything from Lyle Lovett ... IKR?  It's true!

Jethro Tull “Thick as a Brick” one of the best produced albums ever IMO

Pink Floyd “The Wall” Great studio drum production

Doors “Morrison Hotel” sound stage and width

Stevie Ray “Tin Pan Alley” Great guitar breaks in 

Dire Straits “Live concert in NY HD” you tube video
you get the full live show sound coming through. No studio album has ever recreated concert drums and bass sound.
I'm with MC on this one.   
Allow an explanation:

I have a music system not a "HiFi."  
Any guests can pick music that they like, everyone's tastes are different.
There IS no better "demo" than hearing music that one knows and loves.
If I want to show off something unique Ican play some 4 channel tapes.
Since they are one offs it serves no purpose to list tracks here.
