Topic: CD recommendations?

I recently upgraded the stereo system in my truck. Nothing really fancy, but it's a decent upgrade for me. I'm wondering what one CD you reach for when you want to show off your home or car stereo? Not necessarily your favorite artist or favorite song, but the CD that just sounds the best (at relatively loud levels). So far, I think War's "The World is a Ghetto" CD (and that song in particular) is the one I'm dropping in when I'm showing someone my new setup.

What do you reach for?

Re: CD recommendations?

If you want to get the separation going, try "Whole Lotta Love" by Zep.

Excellent choice. I dig the whole Jazz fusion thing. Though not fusion per se, I'll go with Caravanserai by Santana. Listen to it with headphones to get the whole experience.

I love " War", them and "Santana" were two bands that crossed all ethinic groups in the neighborhood I grew up in.

Dont know if your into "RUSH", but if you can handle Geddy Lee ( either people love or hate him ). Anyways they put out a really cool cover album a few years ago, it's called "Feedback", they absolutely kill it. I wish I had the cover of the album on a shirt, take a look.

Tried that one. Great song as are all the old Zep's but the production value isn't quite there it seems. Thanks
