Which remasters to pickup?

Ive got a few old cds that that have since been remastered. I want to know which ones are worth picking up.

Sly and the Family Stone-Anthology Remastered
Cream-Remasters
Led Zeppelin-Remasters
Santana-Remasters
Al Green-Remasters
Isaac Hayes-Remasters (import)

I dont have an SACD player yet, but Ive got a few hybrid sacds that sound pretty good. The Rolling Stones are the best Ive heard so far, the Police are okay, and Im anxiously awaiting the new Pink Floyd DSOTM disc. Also feel free to recommend anything in the soul/old r&b/classic rock genres.

You have to be kidding right?
All remastering does is clean up the recording to be played back in digital.The Beatles were some of the worst recordings I have ever heard.If they were not remasterd they would be intolerable.

Some recordings are a must.I have a Passive Pre-Amp that brings the worst out in any recordings and remasterd stuff sound great.CSNY with Southern Cross is the worst CD I have.I cannot listen to it.

One of the better remasterd recordings I have are of Steely Dan.They are absolutely amazing!The original LP's were always good as far as recordings go,but the CD's remasterd Hits are awesome.
