12 BEST SOUNDING ALBUMS IN MY CD COLLECTION - R.I.P. CHRISTINE MCVIE 

*R.I.P. Christine McVie. I heard the news after uploading this video, in which I talk about Fleetwood Mac.*

Larry,I think Sgt.Pepper's is incredible,being a bass player I knew listening to it that Paul McCartney must have originally put a ghost bass track on the songs and later put on his more worked out bass lines because the bass playing on Sgt'Pepper's is incredible throughout,his bass parts are definitely thought out and not something off the top of his head. Bob.

I’m 20. And four years ago at the time, Fleetwood Mac became my favorite band. When I would be checking out their most well known albums I would think this is some of the best music I have ever heard. Fleetwood Mac to me ranks second to my favorite band R.E.M. But always has a special place because they made me want to listen to whole albums! Now Christine is gone. She was the most respected out of the five, always the voice of reason, and always was and is irreplaceable in the band. For a rock star that didn’t want to be up front with everyone else she left a legacy for just being her. Yes I know that Fleetwood Mac did make an album without her in 2003 which is ok. But it showed she NEEDED to be on the album and with the band. There will never be another keyboardist or singer like her. She left an impact that will be felt and remembered forever.

What about the following albums? :- The Eagles - Hotel California Santana - Santana (self titled debute album of 1969) Santana - Abraxas Led Zeppelin - 1 Led Zeppelin 11 Deep Purple - Machine Head Grand Funk Railroad - We're an American Band Donald Fagen - Nightfly Alan Parsons Project - Pyramid Bozz Scaggs - Silk Degrees Genesis - Genesis (self titled 1983 album) Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms Peter Gabriel - So Carole King - Tapestry The Carpenters - Passage The Temptations - Masterpiece George Benson - A Weekend in L.A.

Prince - Diamonds and Pearls ZZ Top - Dequello Kate Bush - Hounds of Love Fugazi - Repeater Rush - Hemispheres Rokia Traore - Bowmboi Santana - 3

Great Video once again Larry Good idea Some of my best sounding albums are : Pink Floyd Dark side of the moon, The Beatles Sgt Pepper, The Who Who's Next, Golden Earring Moontan, Genesis Selling England By The Pound,Led Zeppelin 4, Jethro Tull Aqualung And Thick As A Brick, Deep Purple Machine Head,Yes Tales From Topographic Oceans,Queen A Night At The Opera👍✌ RIP Christine Mcvie 🙏🙏🙏

Something by Queen probably. A former co-worker talked about her brother buying a new stereo in the 70s and We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions was the first thing he played. Blew the roof off.

Abbey Road! I still need Crimson King. Christine McVie was a gem.

Good video. I agree with you about Rumours. The best sounding album for me is Paul Simon’s Graceland. When I have a headache listening to it is better than a Bex (Australian).... or some other painkiller. Yes’ Owner of a Lonely Heart was the first song I ever heard on cd in 1985 and it sounded amazing. Before that I had just considered it another song: nothing special. Here are 12 albums, in no particular order, that sound good to me in the sense of zoning out and feeling relaxed: Graceland - Paul Simon Exodus - Bob Marley What's Going On - Marvin Gaye Pet Sounds - Beach Boys Heaven Up Here - Echo and the Bunnymen Seventeen Seconds - The Cure Closer - Joy Division Homogenic - Bjork Fifa - Angelique Kidjo Laura Pausini - her self titled Italian debut That's the Way It Is - Elvis Presley Lorenzo 1997 L’albero - Jovanotti

Bob Dylan’s Oh Mercy and Peter Gabriel’s So both sound incredible on CD. Great production.

RIP Christine McVie. Hope you'll be able to make a video about her and Fleetwood Mac.

Great list. Besides some of the ones you mentioned I would go with Aja by Steely Dan and Pet Sounds.

The Cars - Heartbeat City I can't think of another album where every instrument seems to be at exactly the right level in the mix.

McVie. Yes, sad news.

I think I might have requested a similar idea to this a while ago, glad to see it become a reality!

I think Zepplin, Floyd, Supertramp would be on my list too. Fleetwood Mac sounded already pretty good in the early years, Then Play On sounds really cool. Wouldn't have Humble Pies Performance that high but it's good. The sound of the Beatles albums is to my ear and taste not that impressive. I think I would have a couple of Jazz albums on my list of best sounding albums. Most likely a lot of stuff that says Rudy Van Gelder as recording engineer.

Supertramp's Crime of the Century CD in AAD format is beyond anything. It's so good it's scary. Check it out NOW!

I agree with Dark Side of The Moon and Crime of The Century, 2 of the best sounding albums of all time and of course Abbey Road sounds amazing too as do most Beatles albums. Others in my collection I think sound really good are Avalon by Roxy Music, Machine Head (1997 remixes) by Deep Purple, Ocean to Ocean by Tori Amos and Strange Times by The Moody Blues among others. You are coming up with some great ideas Larry.

Larry, you're doing great. I've finally had some time to sit down and watch a couple of your videos since a few years ago; sorry I haven’t had the chance frequent your videos. Though, without surprise, you're consistently growing if anyone reads this. “I Taught him all I know… haha.” (Larry would say something like that. Haha.)

Here's a great sounding album...another Alan Parsons production: Somewhere I've Never Traveled by Ambrosia. Lush and crystal clear. Thanks for the 10cc mention, ALWAYS happy when they get noticed (especially for those first four records).

Some of my favorite sounding albums are: Red Hot Chili Peppers: Blood Sugar Sex Magik (mastered quite low, but turn the volume up and it's like you're there) CCR: Green River (the album where John Fogerty captured the "Sun" sound perfectly) Depeche Mode: Violator (François Kevorkian spend days mixing all the details to perfection) Frank Zappa: Joe's Garage (could have picked many other Zappa albums, but just love the clear 70s sound on this) Bob Dylan: Blonde On Blonde (the Nashville bass and drum sound is amazing - especially on Memphis Blues Again) Queen: The Game (their first album with Mack - love the 'live' sound on this album) Talk Talk: Spirit Of Eden (the 'no compression' approach just makes a unique intimate sound) My Bloody Valentine: Loveless (OMG the guitars!!! - love this album a lot - favorite sounding song is 'Sometimes')

Some of my favourite sounding albums are Abbey Road, Rumours, Born To Run, Wildflowers, The Court Of The Crimson King & Transformer! RIP Christine McVie!☮️❤️

Some good choices...I have a number of these in my collection already - Dark Side, Hot Rats, Physical Graffiti, Rumours. I'd add News of the World by Queen and Days of Future Passed by The Moody Blues also.

Some of my favourite sounding albums. Bowie - Station To Station. The Cure- Faith. Depeche Mode- Ultra. Zappa- Joe’s Garage. Kate Bush- Hounds Of Love. Ministry- The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste. Nine Inch Nails- The Fragile. Talking Heads- Remain In Light. Dylan- Oh Mercy.

I do t think any Beatles album needs remixing or remastering. Leave em alone.

Hey neighbor to the north. Strangely, your accent is similar to some folks from Butte and Anaconda Mt when I was a kid. It pleases the ears and my memory.

Yes does sound great I would go with Relayer. Abbey Road does sound great. Cool video Larry. R.I.P. Christine McVie.

Steely Dan Countdown to Ecstasy, Ten Years After A Space in Time, Tears for Fears The Seeds of Love, Pink Floyd The Division Bell.

Early Humble Pie ( Frampton era ) is so good

Best sounding albums.. this is the sacd dsf list.. King Crimson - Lizard, Genesis - Trick of the Tail, Lazuli - Amnesie, Ciccada - Harvest, Steve Wilson - Closure/Continuation, Talking Heads - Speaking in Tongues, Zappa - Waka Jawaka, Gentle Giant - The Power and the Glory, Heart - Dog & Butterfly, Alan Parsons - Pyramid, The Worm Ouroboros - Of Things that Never Were, Tull - Songs From the Wood.. ok thats 12..

Abbey Road was astounding when it came out. The synths!

Hola Muff! I believe you are my audio "soul mate" as regards ALL your choices (w/the possible exception of McCartney's Ram. nonetheless, an incredibly entertaining, yet very much understated video, food stains and all! BTW, I would humbly recommend "The Nightfly" by Donald Fagen not only for its brilliant production quality but obviously brilliant content as well! I go by AudiophileMB and I have a rather large CD collection which I enjoy on my speaker setup but primarily Headphone setup as I own a brownstone in Brooklyn, NYC and thus, somewhat of a volume constraint upon occasion! Kudos though brother! All your picks are in my collection as well! Would love to know what other CD treasures you enjoy in the great whit north. Ciao my new friend! BTW, you've a new subscriber.

Nice...of u r list I would agree with 10CC " How Dare You " although you didn't spend enough time on them and the clarity ( especially of the re-mastered version ) of that particular CD...Jan Hammer " Melodies " pretty much BLOWS every other album I possess out of the water...I ( humbly say ) I have a lot of Albums :)

I noticed the headline.. I didn't hear about this until reading the title to your video.. I love the rumors era of Fleetwood Mac. The chain will still keep them together even though one is in heaven now.. An American/British combo lineup that was awesome. No diss to the early Fleetwood Mac though when they were a blues band. That early lineup was awesome as well. I just remember as a little kid digging the rumors era of Fleetwood Mac. A sad day for rOck 'n rOlL.. We won't forget the music though.. )^_-) As far as best sounding albums go.. Led Zeppelin 1 and Van Halen 1 and The Ramones It's Alive! albums.. Go buy them now.. )^_-)/

Great list. Tom Petty Wildflowers is fantastic on vinyl. Not sure about CD

The intro to Todd Rundgrens *'A Wizard A True Star'* on my vinyl is the most aural perfect recording.

Great picks!!!! LedZeppelin II, the Robert Ludwig pressing is prolly the best sounding LZ album. Presence also has a warm sound. And I always III and Houses didn’t have a strong production sound. Absolutely on the David Bowie’s album. Also Hunky Dory.

Hello totally agree with your Beatles and Pink Floyd choices. Did you knew Russell Mael guest on new Simple Minds album Direction of the heart. Something for you....

You mentioned some good ones Dark Side of the Moon engineered by Alan Parsons also I Robot by Alan Parsons you mentioned supertramps, Century also even in the quietest moments anything by Trevor Horn Frankie Goes to Hollywood the Buggles yes for unlawful common knowledge produced by Andy Johns

Hey Larry! Nice list :D If asked a couple of months ago, I'd rattle off a list of 12 off the top of mu head and it would look something like this... Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy Deep Purple - Burn Rainbow - Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow David Bowie - Pinups Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs Elvis Costello and the Attractions - Imperial Bedroom T.Rex - The Slider Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies Ian Hunter - Ian Hunter Eric Clapton - 461 Ocean Blvd Jethro Tull - Minstrel in the Gallery The Beatles - Abbey Road ... of course cheeky as I am, I'd make it a bakers' dozen... -- or -- I'd rattle off a list of soundtracks, live albums and compilations [Jimi Hendrix - Soundtrack Recordings from the Film 'Jimi Hendrix' might cover all 3 categories] But today I can''t imagine a list without these 2 at the top... The Beatles - Revolver Fleetwood Mac - Rumours... RIP Christine :( Cheers!

Claypool! Thank you Larry!😄🍻🎸🤘

Donald Fagen ….The Nightfly ….is a really well produced album. Crystal clear just like Aja by Steely Dan. Cheers

Toto Mindfields - One of the best produced I've heard.

So sad to hear about Chrissy. Rumours is one of my favourite albums and Songbird is a masterpiece. What a talent. As for the albums. Listen to 'Dying Surfer Meets His Maker' by All Them Witches . Superb production on a superb album. I strongly recommend it.

I would love a good quality copy of Claypool Lennon 'South of Reality', no luck so far.

Great list I'm not an audio expert by any means but 10 albums I own that sound great to me. Massive attack - blue lines 2012 remix CD OMD - Dazzle Ships remastered vinyl Roxy music - Avalon remastered vinyl Björk - vespertine original CD The smashing pumpkins - siamese dream remastered CD Radiohead - in rainbows vinyl Talking heads - remain in light remastered vinyl Goldfrapp - black cherry remastered vinyl Alphaville - forever young remastered CD Mazzy star - so tonight that I might see original CD

Just about any CD on the GRP label, particularly what was released in the late 80s or early 90s. I kinda fell into this music, which is Jazz/Modern Jazz, because I was curious to hear a recording by Diana Krall. I was so blown away by the clarity and soundstage of her "Only Trust Your Heart" CD that I was curious to see if releases by other artists were as well produced. They were!

I have Band on the Run from 1973, and it sounds strange. I want to get the remixed version to see if it sounds better.

I tried to listen to some modern Yes led by Squire. No, please....the production had that wall to wall noise i hate. No, please, thank you not.
