Not sure if it's be to.your liking but Metallica - Black Album is thoroughly testing the Bass of my speakers lately. The new release of it is very well produced.

An oldie but goodie and hi-fi show stalwart but John Martyn - Solid Air. The new Abbey Road half speed master is fabulous.

or a zillion classical LPs

Five that I always return to are:

Marvin Gaye - What's Goin' On; Curtis Mayfield - There's No Place Like America Today; Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago; Alice Coltrane - Translinear Light and Burning Spear - Hail H.I.M.

Soul, jazz, Americana and reggae. If I was to choose a rock album then I would find it difficult to look past John Martyn, though he's not rock!

I'm not sure your tastes, but if you want "Classic Rock", albums, here are my essential picks:

Led Zeppelin IV

Aerosmith Rocks

Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here

Jimi Hendrix Experienced

Rush 2112

I could think of at least a hundred more! But these would make the beginning of a, "Must Have", classic rock collection. IMHO of course.

Something a bit left field and perhaps not a classic album per se, but Alice in Chains - Unplugged. Simple wonderful performance and the sound quality is magnificent.

The Eric Clapton Album is a bit special on Vinyl. I have a German pressing and it's fantastic.
