What are your "reference" CDs?

Hi, I would like to know what are your "reference" CD/CD's? My list are Randy Travis, Dixie Chicks, Ronny Cox, Martina McBride, Yanni, Sting, Eagles, Enigma, and Tim Mcgraw. Of course, there are others. As you can see from the list, I listen mostly country and rock. What are some other artist your perfer? BTW,I would use any genre other than the one specifed. Thanks and Happy Listening

I'm surprised to find Sting on your reference CD list. I love his music, and own most of his CDs, but I find the recordings to be rather compressed with a lack of good dynamics. Anyone else feel this way about Sting's recordings, or is it just me?

Marakanetz: I still listen to Sting, I am just disappointed at the quality of the mix. When I upgraded to my newest system, I expected to really enjoy his recordings (considering the musicians and the money available for his projects) but found that they are sonically disappointing. They sound great in my car, with typical auto stereo eq settings, but in the house they're very compressed.
