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

Use whatever parameters you pay attention to. Timbres, dynamics, clarity, imaging, soundstage, top-end, mids, bottom-end, etc.

In my collection, the artists that (usually) don't sound good are-

Faces

Rod Stewart 

(early) Rolling Stones

(some) Ted Nugent

(some) Eric Clapton

(early) Aerosmith

(early) Beatles

(early) Credence

(early) Doobie Bros

(early) The Clash

Foghat

(early) The Who

(early) ZZ Top

(early) Led Zeppelin 

Janice Joplin

I've probably overlooked some other stinkers in my collection

Thank  God for talented remastering engineers!

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

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.
