What CDs to buy


I never thought I would get a CD player but opportunity knocked a couple months ago and here I am with an Audio Research CD6.  All my CDs from 30 years ago are mostly music I no longer listen to much.  I primarily listen to vinyl and stream but thought it would be cool to have an AR top loader and maybe seek out a few special CDs.  Any thoughts on specific CD releases that will give me some renewed respect for the shiny discs?

are you looking for new recommendations, music you don’t know?

My greatest discoveries in the last decade were

M. Ward, The Be Good Tanyas, Shovel and Rope, Nataniel Rateliff, Paulo Nutini, and a few others, mostly mainstream (Wilco, BNL, and the like).

All CDs, no issues. Of my favorite 80s - 90s bands I am pretty unhappy with my ELO, Queen, Stones CDs. U2 is OK, but not great. I don't know whether it's a recording or music doesn't work well in a smallish room.
