Thanks for your suggestions, now it’s my turn to broaden my sonic horizons! Hope to see you here again. (You’ll probably enjoy browsing that collection too.) I will definitely check your suggestions out, Def Leppard is one of the greats for good reason, and we actually included Tales From Topographic Oceans by Yes on our Best Headphone Albums list. (Another great thing about music is the level of subjectivity and most of us have our own specific criteria for what we love listening to.) I’m of the opinion that although production quality plays an important role, it doesn’t always make or break the entire body of work. Recording and production quality were definitely considered when we made our selections for some of the best audiophile albums. You’re right about that, not considering those factors would’ve been a big mistake. Great choices, Bon Iver self titled, Mellon Collie and Lateralus are a few of my personal favorites – I’m sure you’ll enjoy them too. Thanks Sukumar, I’m glad you were able to find a few albums to add to your collection! pedroalvarez has uploaded 1342 photos to Flickr. These albums were marked by awesome engineering finesse.

As far as I know, this box set was only released in Germany. Personally, if I’m asked to add some more albums that can make the cut in the audiophile’s best albums list, I will surely have A Night at the Opera by Queen (1975), Breakfast in America by Supertramp (1979), Drama by Yes (1980), Pyromania by Def Leppard (1983) and Crest of a Knave by Jethro Tull (1987). The 3 CD box-set A Box of Dreams is a random compilation of the four Enya albums released up until then, with the 'new' tracks 'Only if', 'Willows on the water' and 'Painting the sky with stars', taken from the compilation album Paint the sky with stars released in 1997 as well. Music is a highly personal experience and when one brings up a “the best” list, one’s personal tastes and preferences are bound to be found there. Which means an album’s recording and its overall production quality must have been important criteria for it to make your list. The list is supposed to be an audiophile’s must-have albums. The music for the album was composed by Enya but only The Frog Prince and Dreams were performed by her, while the remaining tracks were performed by other musicians or arranged and produced by Richard Myhill.

I’m happy that Smashing Pumpkins’ Mellon Collie album made it to the list. It appears, alongside Dreams, in the soundtrack album to the English and French produced romantic comedy film The Frog Prince (1984). I’ll be trying out John Cale’s HoboSapiens, Bon Iver’s Bon Iver and Tool’s Lateralus especially. I loved it and there are many albums there that I would surely be adding to my collection. You’ve got a list of albums that are varied in style and spanning different generations.
