Ok, this might kill y'all...
The "top four" topic's awesome, and frankly is directly responsible for me spawning this one. If you want to join in, cool - here are the list I'm making: my top 100 titles that I want in hi-rez multi-chanel format. There are several limitations - the band can't already have a disc out IN MULTICHANEL (hence, the stones inclusion - at the same time, I'd put all of Floyd, of course, or even all of Zappa, but that'd be cheating in this arbitrary list). Some may already be out in vintage Quad, and I'm not counting Silverline "unfolding" or DTS as MC Hirez.
Basically, I'm trying to create a diverse list of music that I think can really shine in well produced MC. I'm also trying to select a single, definitive album that best displays what that band/artists music can sound like in hirez MC. Please, no format wars, no bickering, add your own list or take apart mine!
This is -not- just a list of my top 10 albums, many of these albums are not even my favourites by a particular artist. This is, however, an honest attempt at creating what I think to be a wide range of MC pop/rock titles by artists that have so far been overlooked in either format. These are in no particular order, and some I've listed as GH where I think a sampler collection (a la Elvis 1) would do fine. If there's something I list where I cheat, and the artist has something out already, let me know...
Let's see how I'll do:
1) Abba - GH
2) Beatles - Abbey Road
3) Harry Belafonte - An Evening with Friends (live)
4) James Brown - Startime Boxed Set
5) Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
6) Kate Bush - Kick Inside
7) David Byrne - David Byrne
