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?

Yes-all their remastered albums.
Rush-all their remastered albums.
Van Halen-all ther remastered albums
Supertramp-all their remastered albums
Jeff Buckley-Grace and my Sweetheart The Drunk
Roxy Music-all their remastered albums
The Doors-Complete Studio Recordings (box set)
Radiohead-OK Computer and The Bends
PJ Harvey-Songs From The City,Songs From The Sea(great album from 2000)
Steely Dan-their complete remasters('98 onwards)
David Bowie-the recent remasters
More recently the very great At The Drive In-Relationships Of Command (heavy but intelligent).
Also Tortoise-Standards (jazz meets rock meets electronica)
The list imho goes on and on but depends on what you consider "Rock" and what music you like and consider well recorded..........
