If you could only choose 3 artists, for their entire albums to be released in 5.1...

[Caspersozza]

I already own pretty much every surround sound release on the market (that I want to), and expect things like Meddle and Animals to appear at some point, so - given that much that I love is already out there - I would have to say....

Steely Dan
John Barry
Earth Wind & Fire

 

[FerFripp]

Pink Floyd
Radiohead
Talk Talk

 

[mdmost]

Radiohead
Led Zeppelin
Steely Dan

Though a 5.1 of Heaven or Las Vegas would be incredible.

I think music with tons of layers would be ideal for 5.1. Those 3 seem to have that. As far as current artists, The National, Daft Punk and Vampire Weekend.

1 - Love and Rockets. Without a doubt one of the most criminally under-rated bands ever.
2 - The Mission. "Children" (produced by John Paul Jones & often described as "the best album Led Zeppelin never made") in 5.1 would make my cup runneth well over!
3 - The Sweet. Before anyone starts to laugh, there was much more to them than the singles, and "Sweet FA" clearly shows exactly where Queen got their sound from, right down to the operatic BV's (again with the drummist being the falsetto) and the custom Red Guitar.

Oh, and Led Zeppelin of course

 

[georgeshannon]

Grateful Dead
Led Zeppelin
The Beatles

 

[Scott M4]

It's pretty damned great that all of us who requested Yes for this dream list are getting our wish!

 

[Fourplay]

Pink Floyd
Tangerine Dream
Tom Waits (curve ball!)

 

[ProgRules]

I agree that it's great we're getting at least some of the Yes albums, but no way we're getting their entire catalog. If we get TYA thru GFTO, I'll be absolutley amazed (and happy as a pig in slop).

 

[Scott M4]

"Awaken" in surround!!!

 

[Bender]

A few more...

Oingo Boingo
Styx
Supertramp
Kansas

All feature good material for 5.1

The Robert Plant box set has a DVD of his videos in 5.1 DD.

Ya, I have one of them...could have just played the regular album through Pro Logic and had the same results.
