That's why I was looking forward to your list. I'll search around for your comments.

Unlikely but if Kal comes up with a list, most of us could live happily without any of them.

No doubt.
Thread resurrection.....
I've been listening to a lot of multichannel music discs since getting my Sony MEX-DV2200 installed. My favorite 10, in no particular order.....
Barenaked Ladies: Maroon (DVD-A/DVD-V DD)
Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here Q8 (DTS-CD)
Queen: A Night At The Opera (DTS DVD)
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers: Keystone 3 (SACD)
Lyle Lovett: Joshua Judges Ruth (DTS-CD)
Peter Gabriel: Up (SACD)
Donald Fagen: Morph The Cat (MVI DVD)
Paul McCartney & Wings: Venus And Mars (DTS CD)
Genesis: Wind & Wuthering (DTS DVD)
Steely Dan: Everything Must Go (DVD-A/DVD-V DTS)
I've also been completely thrilled with how great DVD concert videos with 5.1 soundtracks sound in the car if they are mixed well. U2's "Popmart" is amazing.
I would think that you could get FOABP directly from Burning Shed even though you didn't want to order from the UK. They are reasonably priced and, depending where your located, arrive in 1-2 weeks.All of the votes for Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet makes me even more aware of the fact I need to get that one. I love the four PT surround discs I do own. I wish I could find it at a more attractive price not requiring import from the UK.
How can I tell which version I have? I have the anniversary edition CD/DVD combo and it sounds great to me. Maybe too much compression ('normalization' would not affect dynamics, just the overall volume) but for listening in the car I don't mind that much.
Cool Thread! I'm limiting this to DIGITAL official releases, so I won't include Sundown or Nilsson Schmilsson.
1- Mondo Head - Kodo SACD 5.1 fantastic fidelity
2- Chicago (II) DVD-A
3- Blue Country Heart - Jorma Kaukonen SACD 5.1
4- CTA- Chicago DTS Quadio
5- Bach: Organ - Ol' Ernest Power Biggs SACD 5.1
6- Love - Beatles DVD-A
7- Dig - Boz Scaggs DVD-A
8- Tapestry - Carole King SACD 5.1
9- Ship Ahoy - O' Jays SACD 5.1
10- Rumours - Fleetwood Mac DVD-A
Although it's only a test pressing, Chicago X DVD-A needs to be included, or at least the SQ, which is a different mix, though similar.
Linda, I'm curious - how do you rate X vs. CTA, II and V, both from a music standpoint and from a mix standpoint? You've praised the SQ mix of X multiple times but I felt the songs on X weren't up to the same level as the earlier records.
Always appreciate your opinions!
Thanks! Have to dig out my X somewhere...
