Can Rock-N-Roll have great sound quality?

Though the rock genre has its share of clunkers, to be sure, there are some jewels in there. Just off the top of my head:

Most Moody Blues albums
"Van Halen"--the DCC gold version will make short work of the notion that all VH sounds bad
Most ABBA albums
Many Beatles albums
Paul McCartney: "McCartney I," "Ram"
Cars: "The Cars"
Most Dire Straits albums
Fleetwood Mac: "Rumours" and "Tusk"
Eagles: "Hotel California"

There are many, many others, but I've run out of steam (haven't had my morning cup o coffee yet). Anyway, while rock often gets a bad rap about the sound quality of its titles, there are still some pretty choice offerings out there. Ya just gotta look!

The DOORS on DCC.

For a sonic treat, get the cd "Puzzle" by the alternative rock band, "dada".

Sonically spectacular IMHO and I love the music. It's been in regular rotation at the TIC household since it was first released in 1993.

Another good blues rock record is Robben Ford and the Blue Line. Great rock/blues guitar and well recorded. Good songs too. I especially like "You Cut Me to the Bone".

Enjoy,

TIC

Just off the top of my head:

most Steely Dan,
most Eric Clapton,
Van Morrison,
Supertramp,
Renaissance,
Gentle Giant,
Dave Matthews,

Tone controls is a must for Rock'n'Roll listening.
