Great sounding CDs out there...

Hi. Hoping to share some info on well-recorded, great-sounding CDs available. I am a vinyl & digital enthusiast, and I do enjoy well-recorded CDs almost as much as good vinyl. Here are a few of my suggestions. Please pass along others:

Beck: Sea Change
Warner Brothers remasters of Fleetwood Mac & Rumours
Hope Waits
All Alison Krauss releases; especially live
Talking Heads "Special New Edition"; Warner Bros./Sire
Mark Knopfler "One take Radio Sessions";
Mark Knopfler "Sailing to Philidelphia"
MFSL Natalie Merchant "Tiger Lily"
Warren Zevon "Excitible Boy" Rhino remaster
10,000 Maniacs "Unplugged"; Elektra

These are just a few. I would really appreciate other suggestions. Thanks!

@Rcrerar

I have to disagree. I thinks it's a good sounding recording. No it's not "Jazz at the Pawnshop" but for a rock recording from that era I find it better than most.

I have to agree with Rcrerar,
Every Agualung I have heard is a poor sounding IMO. Ian Anderson has confirmed as much in interviews.
Most of Tull is better but none are "great sounding".

I don't have a lot of Jethro Tull, maybe 5 or 6 cds, but the best sounding of them is Minstrel In The Gallery, IMO.

Most ECM stuff is just wonderfully recorded. Three examples that come to mind:

Charles Lloyd - Mirror (his latest)
Bennie Maupin - Jewel in the Lotus (from the 70's - WOW!)
Ralph Towner - Solstice (The LP is worth seeking out too)
