The J. Giles Band-Bloodshot(Red vinyl) Side 2 SQ*
Teddy Pendergrass-This One's For You Side 2 SQ*
Played 4 albums from the 70's and 4 from the 80's. All 8 recordings make my Top 100 for the decade. Reconciled and U.K. had the strongest content, while Ms. Warnes won the SQ battle and was 3rd in content.

Dave Brubeck Quartet- Time Out (Columbia 1959 mono)
Comparing this recording to a circa 2020 180grm state of the art jazz album shows how much we have lost. 60 years later and the new one sounds muffled and veiled.

Rush-Moving Pictures Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway-ST Side 2 SQ*
Rod Stewart-Absolutely Live Side 3
Jefferson Starship-Dragon Fly Side A
Ratt-Invasion Of Your Privacy Side 1 SQ*
Cheap Trick-At Budokan Side 2
The Robert Cray Band-False Accusations Side 2 SQ Audiophile
Paul McCartney & Wings-Band On The Run Side 1 SQ*
With 2 Audiophile SQ recordings and 3 near misses beats the odds! I would give the SQ edge to Rush due to dynamics and clean bass. FWIW all 8 recordings make my Top 100 for the decade. Shocked how Flack/Hathaway never makes the generic Top 100 1970's best albums list? Rush places highest on my 80's list while Starship tops the 70's.

@bkeske Welcome back. Streamed the Hilary Hahn. Wow, that's quite an ethereal, empty, stark landscape those pieces evoke. What do you think?
|
@noromance
I love those works. Ysaÿe was highly respected in his day, and it is surprising he not better known today. I think it is wonderful that Hilary saw a desire to re-introduce him in that 2LP set.
I find his compositions she recorded fascinating.
Of course, her playing is incredible as well.

John's Bunch-The John Bunch Quintet Side A SQ Audiophile
Darol Anger/Barbara Higbie-Tideline Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Nothing had below average SQ. With the Eurythmics having an excessive sharp edge helps secure last SQ place. Will give the SQ crown to John Bunch(Famous Door HL-107) Russ Ballard better(content/SQ) than many "popular" rock albums at the time now resides in the budget bins. Ms. Carter deserved a Grammy win for this exceptional recording.
