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?

+1 for Sting's "Ten Summoner's Tales".  Superbly written, played and recorded.

+1 for "Jazz At The Pawnshop".  I've got the 3-CD anniversary edition - marvelous.

Most any Steely Dan will sound good.  Always very well-produced music.  I like "Two Against Nature".  "West of Hollywood" is a great song, one of my reference tunes.  Donald Fagen's "Kamakiriad" is also a stellar recording, nominated for Album of the Year, FWIW.

Norah Jones' "Come Away with Me" was very well done, also a great collection of songs.  Won a Grammy for best engineered album, FWIW.
