Best Guitar CD Recording
Jimmy d. Lane - It's Time. Wonderful electric blues guitar work, especially on SACD format. 
Great CDs
Neil Young- Prairie Wind (he does it again!) 
Great music but poor recording recommendations.
Agreement re: Exile On Main Street. It's even poor on 200gram vinyl. A real mess actually. Too bad. 
Undiscovered blues gems.....
Agaffer- Thanks for the tip on Mary Gauthier. Wonderful! CDUniverse has a good selection of her work which I was hitherto not aware of. THX. THX. 
Quietest amp you ever owned ?
Yamaha MX1000U (1979 - solid state, 760wpc @ 4ohm; 960wpc @2ohm; 460wpc @8ohm) which I still use with fabulous results. I am amazed that for the power output and the cheesy original power cord that this monster does not put out ANY noise. Totally ... 
The Most Beautiful Song of The RnR era?
Yea, Springsteen's Sandy is a good one. How about the Stone's "Wild Horses" from Sticky Fingers. It would seem in your situation nearly the perfect dicotomy: good music being created by the Rolling Stones (whom I recall parents thinking were among... 
Which Patricia Barber album floats yer boat?
Cafe Blue. Ms. Barber is not a Dylan or a Mitchell but then who is. I enjoy her work for what SHE is doing. [Playing her work on either LP or SACD also makes me feel like I have even better audio systems than I do, which seems to help me minimize ... 
Great music but poor recording recommendations.
So much mentioned on A'gon about Joni Mitchell these past few days. For me it's BLUE. Also, does anyone know of a good sounding remaster of Exile on Main Street (Stones)? I find the 180 gram vinyl edition a TOTAL waste of 25 bucks. I also agree ve... 
Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why?
The base player with Fugazi. Energy. Energizing. Creative. Purposful. Driving. Thumps the breastbone. Love the solo playing he does. Gets the primitive juices flowing and the feets a movin', even if one is not into the heavier stuff. No kidding. L... 
Undiscovered blues gems.....
Boy, I'm going to pick up a few of these with Peter Green The Splinter Group being the first. You probably have this one but I believe Jimmy Rogers' last recording, Blue Bird, is a must have. I also believe his son, Jimmy d Lane is among the best ... 
Best CDs for vocals?
Henryk Gorecki - Symphony No. 3 Opus 36 (1976) - To hear an angel listen to soprano, Dawn Upshaw. Amazing,dreamy, and inspiring.A Tribute To Gram Parsons - Return of the Grevious Angel. This is a collection of various, talented artists. Just loade... 
Mississippi John Hurt
I really enjoy an older release in stereo via Vanguard label entitled "MISSISSIPPI JOHN HURT - TODAY! - accompanying himself on guitar" . Copyright is 1966, Vanguard VSD-79220-B (XSV 140519). Maybe difficult to find(?) but amazingly, sounds quite ... 
Joni Mitchell Blue - Wow help me Agoners
Robm321, I have Blue on CD also but the qualilty of the sound of it does not come very close to that of my stereo LP and I purchased my LP originally when it was first released(so it has a lot of miles on it). I find the CD rather harsh to Mitchel... 
Joni Mitchell Blue - Wow help me Agoners
In addition to everything mentioned above, especially that you need to get BLUE on lp, give a listen to Dog Eat Dog, Night Ride Home, and expecially try her 2 cd remake of some of her best work which is captured on TRAVELOGUE. 
Annie Lennox fans
try BARE. Ms. Lennox begins to show her star power here. wonderful composition, terrrific performance with heart, and quite meaningful lyrics.
