Rock albums that sound good on your system?


Often, you put in a rock album into your S$10,000 system and the music, though enjoyable, just sounds harsh, grating, boomy and forward. Aside from several of my Pink Floyd albums, the rest of my rock CDs just sound bad. Are there any good rock recordings out there?

Rths> You might try doing a search on this topic since it has been discussed before. Also Audio Asylum has a thread on this subject. Here's a few for starters

The Who - Who's Next
Little Feat - Waiting For Columbus (a live album that sounds fabulous)
Led Zeppelin I
Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs
Spirit - 12 Dreams of Dr Sardonicus
Boston's first album
Steely Dan - Aja (most of their's are good)
Doobie Bros - Toulouse St & what Were Once Vices... (I've not seen them listed anywhere else but they sound good on my system)

Another that I have not seen listed anywhere is Black Sabbath's first 3 albums. I've listened to these guys since their debut. I spent many years in "mid-fi" which did them justice. I now have quite a revealing system and I think they sound great. Black sabbath w/o the grundge. Some may not like it. It is quite different. I think it sounds great.
