Nelly Furtado - Say it Right
This has gotta be the worst mastered song of the last decade! The beats are so appallingly distorted with compression and the levels are as off as a lost llama in a jungle! This song actually sounded good on my non-audiophile setup, so if this sounds good to you then there is definitely something wrong with your 'rig. She is my favorite female vocalist but unfortunately many of her songs are mastered totally unlistenable.

Problem is I like that Iggy Pop material. Until you commented I just assumed that was the cheap & nasty low rent punk effect they were looking for. I tolerate a lot if the song does it for me.
Just listening to it now and it sounds as if 4 people recorded their instrumental bits and it was all then played back on different speakers randomly thrown in a room with Iggy singing over them. A bit like it two kids were using random cheap boom boxes to hack some sort of karaoke. Brilliant stuff, great music and more punk than plenty of the self-regarding trash that came later.
Metallica - Death Magnetic
Another for the "not worth it really" list
Alanis Morisette, Jagged Little Pill 20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition
Average DR of 8, sibilance all over the place and in all honesty a step back from the original CD
