For those of us that are not yet sold on SACD (DVD-A whatever)
What artists back catalogue you'd like to see remastered to these new formats before you are sold? Sure the more the better but let's get to the bare bone minimum
I'l open with my absolute must list

Talking Heads
David Byrne
The B52s
Tom Waits
Nick Cave

 

[veesmak]

Pink Floyd

Psychedelia at its best.

 

[minya]

Electronic music.

Autechre's back-catalog practically begs for SACD remastering.

It'll never happen, though, so I won't ever have any use for SACD.

[Dusty Chalk]

Some of my favourites (followed, in parens, by what is already available in digital high-res):

Pink Floyd (already: one SACD)
Tangerine Dream (although I probably won't get them all -- too many) (already: one SACD)
Skinny Puppy (nothing)
Kraftwerk (nothing)
Yes (two DVD-A, Close to the Edge coming later this year)
Rush (nothing)
Vangelis (nothing)
Mike Oldfield (one SACD)

Would also like to see lots more 80's stuff -- Talking Heads' Remain in Light, King Crimson's Discipline, etc.

Also, would like to see the street price of the corresponding DVD-A/SACD compete with the street price of the CD. That's really the only way you're going to sway the fence-sitters.

I would say Smashing Pumpkins, but unfortunately, their albums are already so badly recorded it wouldn't matter much. It's a shame because their music is amazing.

Matthew Good
Radiohead
Pink Floyd (more than just Dark Side of the Moon)

 

[Mr.PD]

I already have an SACD player, but only because I needed a new DVD player and this one was cheap.
I would like to find some music I like on SACD.

AC/DC
Motley Crue
Offspring
ZZ Top
AC/DC
Paul McCartney & Wings
Yes
The Doors
AC/DC

I think Cradle of Filth could make some awesome multi-channel SACD discs.

 

[Kali]

Neil Young
Roger Waters (especially Pros & Cons)
Doors (especially Morrison Hotel)
Beach Boys
Miles Davis Quintet '55/'56 Sessions (Cookin' Steamin' Relaxin' Workin')

Ummm... what was I thinking when I wrote that? I meant to say "more than just Dark Side of the Moon".

 

[markl]

Many of these already have at least one on either SACD/DVD-A besides Floyd. That I spy:

Offspring
Yes
The Doors
Neil Young
Roger Waters
Beach Boys Pet Sounds coming soon!

 

[JMT]

I would love to see/hear on SACD:

Emerson, Lake, and Palmer
Chicago
Blood, Sweat, and Tears
Chase
Maynard Ferguson (pre 1980s)
Stan Kenton
The Rippingtons
Spyro Gyra
Lee Ritenour
The Brecker Brothers
Simon and Garfunkel
Stevie Wonder
Chuck Mangione

 

[temporary]

i'm with minya, a substantial amount of electronic music would have to use the format for me to be "sold" on it. not holding my breath...

 

[KR...]

Metal

More classical

Wagner's RING on SACD

 

[markl]

Emerson, Lake, and Palmer
Chicago
Blood, Sweat, and Tears

JMT: aren't there a few of these avail in either SACD/DVD-A? Could be wrong.
