Well, Ben, is there any good reason to get snotty with jlx?
I think he is correct about one thing, many of today's pop artists' producers do record with the end delivery system in mind..that would be the boom box and the car with the 4 30" woofers.
I don't think there is anything wrong with liking poorly recorded music for the musics' sake. Likewise, there is nothing wrong with seeking out well recorded music, is there? I think there are many young artists (pop) who wouldn't know how to make a good recording if they had the bucks. But, of course, their idea of 'good' could be different than mine, always a convenient cop-out.
And speaking of Miles Davis, which album is it that you thought was well recorded? Perhaps it's 'Kind of Blue'? With all the digits spilled over that poor cut-and-spliced analogue tape, I guess it only has to get better, huh? I really can't think of any other Miles' albums that sounds particularly well recorded, although they are certainly some of the best jazz music every laid down.
It really sounds like your definition of well recorded is different than mine. Guess I found my own different-than-yours way. On a more positive note, what new recording would you recommend that sounds good, since I think that was the original intent of the poster?
