Must have SACD or DVD-A's

I have some Stones hybrids, Dark Side of The Moon, the AF John Lee Hooker & Zombies discs and the DVD-A of N. Youngs Harvest.

What discs would you folks recommend as "Must haves"?

Jazz, blues or rock, it doesn't matter.

Oh...I forgot to add all of the AP Creedence SACDs.

 

I've heard that the Ryan Adams disc wasn't all that impressive... what would the motivation to upgrade from redbook CD be?

 

SACD: Santana - Abraxas, Beck - Sea Changes, The Who - My Generation, the AP CCRs...

--MK

 

In addition to those mentioned:

Ellington - Blues in Orbit
Sonny Rollins - Saxaphone Colossus and Way Out West
Dave Alvin- Blackjack David

Chet Baker - Chet
Sam Cooke - Portrait

Thanks - I don't have that one yet.

"The Coryells" Chesky
Al Dimeola John McLaugkin Paco Delucia "Friday Night in San Francisco" by Sony

 

Ryan Adams GOLD might not be the most agressive multi-channel mix out there, but it is a definite improvement over the redbook. For me, it's a prime example of how sometimes the subtler approach to a mix is better.

 

Let me add Dylan's Slow Train Coming as a must have SACD, especially the 5.1 mix!
And for fun, you have to get the Frank Zappa Halloween DVD-A....great tunes, great sound, and an insane drum solo!

 

Beck's "Sea Change" SACD is a must.

Peter Gabriel "III" another

I also highly rate Dylan ("Blonde on Blonde" - Anesini remix, "Blood on the Tracks", the Stones "Beggars" and "Bleed" and Pink Floyd's "DSOTM" - all on SACD.

 

I don't have any SACD experience, but as far as DVD-A goes, I would say apart from the obvious Grateful Dead discs (in my opinion, which probably not shared), is Glen Phillips' Abulum. Complete with a 1 1/2 hour acoustic concert and also an interview. Shows what is possible with DVD-A.
