All of these sound great in QS or RM:
Beatles - Revolver (especially "Tomorrow Never Knows")
Beatles - Sgt Pepper (only the reprise of SPLHCB, you can hear JL and GH saying things throughout)
Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour (except "Walrus")
Beatles - White Album
Beatles - Yellow Submarine (original version)
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde (extra catcalls in "Rainy Day Women")
Simon And Garfunkel - Bookends
Rolling Stones - Satanic Majesties
Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced
Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland

 
The Hendrix titles certainly being first and foremost among these. I'll grant you a little ambience during Tomorrow Never Knows, but not much action during Satanic Majesties - although it was nice to hear The Lantern, Citadel, and some other overlooked Stones songs. Electric Ladyland has more discrete rear channel action than many officially released Quad LPs.
 
For a real treat, if you have the orignal release of the Beatles 2 LP set "Rock and Roll Music" (the one with the Silver Ugly Cover and the soda labels), you will be freaked out when you play it through a QS decoder, especially "I Saw Her Standing There" (as I recall).

There is something about this remix/remaster or whatever by George Martin that just lights up the matrix decoders.
