Advice: My first SACD?

I should be receiving my CARY SACD player soon. I am pretty excited about trying out SACD, however I currently do not own any. What would be a great first SACD to get that would really highlight the musical/sonic advantages of this format. I listen to everything so all recommendations are welcomed.

Dgarretson, is the Wall Live a quality recording in SACD? I have the DVD.

When I got my Sony SCD-1 player, the first SACD I put in was Charlotte Church's Enchantment. I picked Track 6, The Flower Duet. It sounded awesome! Mariah Carey's #1's is another good one that shows of the range in her voice. I've also enjoyed listening to some of the Bob Dylan remastered SACD's. I guess it depends on your taste but I am sure you will be impressed with whatever you choose, I just hope the SACD format doesn't die out.

Rwwear, yes the SACD of The Wall Live in Berlin is sonically impressive. I find no reference in the documentation as to mastering technology other than 5.1, Abbey Road studio, & Mercury Records. I have listened to it only in 2CH stereo.
