I'm sort of stuck between the world of punk, alternative and metal (above-great example) that I came up in and the world of blues, folk and classic rock that my hippyish parents listened to......
 
I haven't heard the following album in years....
 
From where I sit, with a decent resolving system, I have to say The Beatles remastered Abbey Road might just qualify as the most satisfying rock listening experience I can think of.
 
 
 
It ticks a lot of boxes for me......damn!!
 
And, you gotta love the iconic album cover....

This whole time I thought macedonianhero's avatar was just a random picture of an owl. I had no idea it was the cover of a music album. XD

Rush baby! Not only am I Canadian, but I'm from Toronto (hometown of Rush). I'm in my 40s and love classic rock and Rush is one of my favourite bands (along with Floyd, Zep, Stones, Metallica, AC/DC, etc...).

Wow the first time? I've had to buy that album 4 times. I wore out the first copy, had the 2nd stolen, bought a 3rd and the 4th is the remaster.

Willie Nelson - Stardust (1978) (2001 Japanese SACD ripped to 88.2 / 24 FLAC)
 
From an online review:
 
At the height of outlaw country, Willie Nelson pulled off perhaps the riskiest move of the entire bunch. He set aside originals, country, and folk and recorded Stardust, a collection of pop standards produced by Booker T. Jones. Well, it’s not entirely accurate to say that he put away country and folk, since these are highly idiosyncratic interpretations of “Georgia on My Mind,” “All of Me,” “Moonlight in Vermont,” and “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore,” blending pop, country, jazz, and folk in equal measures. It’s not that Willie makes these songs his own, it’s that he reimagines these songs in a way that nobody else could, and with his trusty touring band, he makes these versions indelible. It may be strange to think that this album, containing no originals from one of America’s greatest songwriters, is what made him a star, and it continues to be one of his most beloved records, but it’s appropriate, actually. Stardust showcases Nelson’s skills as a musician and his entire aesthetic — where there is nothing separating classic American musical forms, it can all be played together — perhaps better than any other album, which is why it was a sensation upon its release and grows stronger with each passing year.
