Many of these taken from Bob Katz' CD Honor Roll (as linked by clarke68) for well-mastered cds. If any of these are not well-recorded, please give a shout.

Post more and I'll add them to this post! This would be very useful to people looking to get more good rock (people like myself ) and a great reference for us all

happens to be my favorite album ever, but recently i heard people saying it wasn't well recorded... wanted to avoid being told off. anyhow, that's going right on the list.

i can't easily tell good from bad recordings as my setup is really low-end. is any floyd badly recorded (it all sounds pretty darn incredible to me )

is that a band? an album? i'd like to have specific albums in the list, i find whenever i'm told "oh, anything by [blah]" to be well recorded i find that i'm not much farther in my search for good recordings, just an artist recommendation
