You should really try Bruckner's 5th with Sinopoli and the Dresden Staatskapelle.  It really is one of the best recordings of anything, in my opinion.  I love Bruckner and this stands out.
 
It's live and the precision, balance and flow of this piece is displayed in as near to a perfect way as I can imagine.

I have tried to listen to Bruckner in the past but just can't get into his work.
 
With your glowing recommendation, I'll try this version of the 5th. Thanks!

And finally, I got this in the mail today...
 

 
I ripped it to FLAC (24/96 LPCM) and I'm streaming it through my Squeezebox Touch via wi-fi as I type.

Well, another recording to get you into Bruckner has to be Celibidache's monumental live 9th with the Munich Philharmonic. It's quite an experience to go through with his expansively broad tempos, but it is a mediation in the most beautiful sense and he carves every note with a sustained sense of dignified power. If that doesn't get you, I don't know what will with Bruckner!

I have never listened to supertramp are they good? Which albums would you recommend. I though they were a 90's band but then realized that i was thinking of supergrass. 

 
A 70's prog rock  band that i don't know about? how did that happen? Shocked

You're kidding, right?!?! Never heard of Supertramp?!?!
 
Come on....OK, you're pulling our legs....
 
We're talking about Supertramp!!!!!
 
OK, deep breath...lol.     It's hard to pick favorites, but if I had to rank them in order, it would be...
 
1. Even in the Quietest Moments
2. Crime of the Century
3. Breakfast in America
4. Crisis, What Crisis
 
They really are hard to rank because each has their moments of greatness, but take each album as a whole, and that's where I rank them.
