What is the VERY BEST CD album you've ever heard?

Diana Krahl, The Girl In The Other Room and Roger Waters, Amused To Death.

LOL on the Beatles debate.  

Ask: Who are the greatest of all rock bands?  

I do believe the Beatles would be on the list.  

I just read Tylermunn's post about Glenn Gould and have downloaded his collection on Youtube.Is this a fairly good quality sound? Thank you Sorry to go "out there",but,to me Grand Funk Railroad's "On Time" has some amazing passages-the guitar crossing over from one channel to the other for example.I think this is my first podt for some time,so I hope I'm doing it in the approved manner

Here are a few, and no I'm not a huge grunge fan, but the Unplugged CDs are extremely well recorded:

Supertramp Crime of the Century

Supertramp Even in the Quietest Moments

Stone Temple Pilots MTV Unplugged

Alice In Chains MTV Unplugged

Nirvana MTV Unplugged

Natalie Merchant MTV Unplugged

Memoirs of a Geisha Soundtrack

More than any other single group, The Beatles expanded the range of what rock and roll could be more than any other group before or since. To deny their achievement by demoting it to some lesser form because of that achievement is perverse. The Beatles vs. Rolling Stones question is quite similar to the Raymond Chandler vs. Dashiell Hammett in hardboiled crime fiction. The Beatles like Chandler tend to win by acclamation, and because of that Stones and Hammett partisans push their belief with a particular zeal. Like Hammett, the one area where the Stones have the decisive advantage is toughness. The difference between the two in both cases is little more than a nickel's worth. If I were getting on a lifeboat and had to jettison either my Beatles or my Stones records, I'd keep the Beatles.
