What LP shows what analog can do?


I'm relatively new to analog. I've bought up some $1 records, and many sound surprisingly good (though I don't have a cleaner, so some are cracklier than I'd like).

I'd like to buy a couple of new LPs (probably from MusicDirect) that are at the very top sound quality. Of course, music quality counts too. So really I'm looking for suggestions for the record you put on to impress your friends (to show them the difference from CD), or to sit back and truly enjoy just how good analog can sound. I sort of have classical in the back of my mind, but I'm open to whatever.

Thanks.

My favorite LP's were bought in general from acousticsounds.com and are as following:
-Tom Petty Wildflowers
-Led Zeppelin III (180 Gram)
-Eagles Hotel California (not from acoustic sounds, it is an Original Master Recording and is the nicest sounding record of all time, the guitar sounds heavenly)
-Paul Simon Graceland
-Fleetwood Mac Selftitled (Over my head is unbelievable!)
-Radiohead OK Computer (180 Gram)
-The Who Who's Next (180 gram)
-Bob Marley Kaya (180 gram)

180 gram is the best sounding vinyl around, if you take care of that stuff it never crackles or anything!
