On a different note, share the artists you own that DON'T sound good

@mapman - I didn’t say "never", I said "usually". So, that is not the case. My system, in my acoustically treated room, with meticulous setup, is most assuredly resolving enough to notice the level of sound quality of every album I play. I even am able to grade the sound quality of each album with letters A, B, C, and D. Fortunately, almost all my albums are in classes A and B.

Hope this clears things up.

PS- two of my friends are recording engineers. They both have told me my system sounds as good or better than what they hear at work.

Hmm still tough but I’d say I have been disappointed in various Jethro Tull album’s sound off the cuff in that I tend to have high expectations for sound quality with progressive rock bands more so than others.  

@mapman Good catch! I had forgotten about Jethro Tull. Yes, I've also been disappointed in some, but not all, of their releases.

Not radical to me buddy. I mentioned it early in my AG posting

Play 1st run LP presses of that list on a proper rig👍

Maybe a different  opinion?

In the end, all good music. I can enjoy thru laptop/phone speakers.

Most of those albums were produced by ears that worked with other great bands.
