Which stereo SACD's do you recommend?

I recently bought a Marantz 8001 here on A'gon, and am looking for SACD recommendations. Since the 8001 is a stereo only version, do I need to find stereo SACD's or will the multi-channel SACD's work just as well? Do all multi-channel SACD's also have a stereo SACD version on them? I don't plan on going multi-channel for my audio listening. I like jazz, classical, vocals, acoustic. I just bought the Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms" SACD and it has SACD multi-channel, SACD stereo (what I need) and plain ol' Redbook CD all on one disc. It sounds fantastic to me in SACD. What other SACD's would you recommend?

Some of these are SACD layer only (will not play in a regular CD player). Mono, Stereo, or Multichannel SACD versions will not affect play in your system. You should be connecting the Marantz using the 2 channel out jacks in any event.

Here are 14 to get you started ...

Blood Sweat & Tears "Blood Sweat & Tears" - the group's second album with 'You Made Me So Very Happy' on it.
Santana - "Abraxas"
Mark O'Conner "In Full Swing"
Elton John - "Elton John", "Madman Across the Water"
Rolling Stones - "Let It Bleed"
David Bowie - "Ziggy Stardust"
Louis Armstrong - "Plays Fats Waller", "Plays WC Handy"
The Thorns
Muddy Waters "Folk Singer"
David Johanssen and the Harry Smiths
Bob Dylan - "Nashville Skyline", "Blood on the Tracks"
