streetdaddy - yep. i love the beck album. i think the songwriting is great, the music is great, and the sonics are great.

but, don't listen to it with any sharp objects around. you'll end up killing yourself.

i can only listen to it a few times a year.
The one that leaps to mind that no one has yet mentioned is Jerry Douglas' 'Lookout For Hope'. Kind of a jazz-newgrass fusion with stunning presence. Top marks for both music and sound.
Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade; Stravinsky: Song of the Nightingale (Living Stereo)Wonderful Dynamics and very emotional performance (three channel recording as was the original)

Avalon - Roxy Music is my favourite for a multi channel disk

Eleanor McEvoy's Yola (full bodied sound)

Elton John's Goodbye yellow brick road (the acoustic version of Candle in the wind had my jaw all the way down to the floor )
