Rock albums that sound good on your system?


Often, you put in a rock album into your S$10,000 system and the music, though enjoyable, just sounds harsh, grating, boomy and forward. Aside from several of my Pink Floyd albums, the rest of my rock CDs just sound bad. Are there any good rock recordings out there?

I play LP's and most rock sounds awesome!!
I would be hard pressed to think of more than 3-4 rock LP's I have that don't sound great.
Try Neil Young Comes a Time and Al Stewart's Year of the Cat. Both have excellence sonics.
Hi RTHS,

Try Aerosmith "Toys in the Attic", and "Rocks". The Cult "Electric", Led Zep II, AC/DC "Highway to Hell", and "Back in Black" are also good. But man, get a poor rock recording, you might as well listen to am radio!
Yeah, it seems the better I make my system, the worse some of my favorite albums sound. However, there are some goodies out there for rock fans:

1) Genesis - A Trick of the Tail - sounds great, the bass line at the opening of Squonk will blow you away.

2) Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus - this was mentioned by another 'Gonner, and I concur. I also had the privilege of attending the show at Lisner Auditorium way back when - and I made sure I brought along my bag o' reds. One warning - the CD omits the gem "Don't Bogart Me", ya gotta buy the vinyl to get the whole enchilada.

3) Camel - The Snow Goose and A Live Record - I *really* dig Camel, and these two albums are VERY well recorded. Strongly recommended.

4) The Other Ones w/Bruce Hornsby - I forget the title, but it is a FABULOUS 2 CD live recording. The opening of St. Stephen brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard it, and I'm getting weepy even now [smile]. Buy this CD, NOW!

5) John Fogerty - Premonition - I'm a big CCR fan, and Fogerty is in *fine* form on this one. Kenny Aronoff's drumming is magnificent. If you're partial to DVDs and 5.1 sound, buy the DVD instead of the CD, you will not be disappointed.

6) Bela Fleck - Live Art - Not really rock, but this is such a well-recorded live album that I figgered I'd mention it anyway. And just how many fingers *does* Victor have on his hands, it ain't humanly possible to play like that. [big smile]
RL> I didn't know M&M's had the red color back then. Also I forgot about the omossion of Don't Bogart. I miss that one.
