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?

Sticking to "albums", and not mentioned above(I think):
Traffic "Low Spark"
Nirvana "Nevermind"
Van the Man "Astral Weeks"
MMW (OK, not exactly rock) "Combustication"
Roxy Music "For Your Pleasure"
And the best I've heard is a sealed ( before I got it :) flimsy 120 gm YES "Fragile" found in a used record shop in Philly for $4.99. BASS? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE BASS!!

Forgot to mention "The California Project" by Papa Doo Run on Telarc. Good sound and great music. Another one that is probably out of print.
