2). Led Zeppelin II
3). Led Zeppelin III
4). Led Zeppelin IV
5). Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
6). Led Zeppelin - Physical Grafitti
7). Pink Floyd - The Wall (not sure why this was skipped with the Immersion sets...but we need it! As well as a BD release of the film...)
8). Pink Floyd - Animals
9). Pink Floyd - Meddle
10). Pink Floyd - Momentary Lapse of Reason
11). Pink Floyd - Division Bell
12). Metallica - Kill 'Em All

16). A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step
17). Tool - Aenima
18). Tool - Lateralus
19). Tool - 10,000 Days
20). Soulfly - Soulfly (these 3 Soulfly albums, and #23 would be amazing in 5.1 with all the extra tribal percussion and excellent production)
21). Soulfly - 3
22). Soulfly - Prophecy
23). Sepultura - Roots (the heaviest album ever produced this well, there is no debate)
24). Dead Can Dance - Into the Labyrinth
25). Bear McCreary's entire Battlestar Galactica catalogue (this would be incredible...)
26). The Sisters of Mercy - Floodland
27). Skrillex's entire catalogue (surprised this hasn't been done already given the nature of the music itself)
28). Ministry - The Land of Rape and Honey (including 12" mixes)
29). Ministry - The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste (including 12" mixes)
30). The Time - Ice Cream Castles
31). All Prince up to The Gold Experience including 12" singles and B-Sides (sorry, huge cheat here... but c'mon. Also of note, he recently re-obtained the rights to his earlier catalogue from WB so hopefully some nice mixes of the early albums will be coming along soon)
32). Shiny Toy Guns - Season of Poison
33). Shiny Toy Guns - III
34). The Cure - Mixed Up
35). The Mission UK - Children
36). Slayer - Reign in Blood
37). Megadeth - Peace Sells But Who's Buying? (I know it's out, but it sucks...needs redone)
38). Muse - Absolution
39). Muse - Black Holes & Revelations
40). Muse - The Resistance (needs wide-release...)
41). Muse - The 2nd Law (this would be *insane* in surround)
42). Earth, Wind & Fire - Some kind of comprehensive greatest hits, similar to what was done for Lynyrd Skynyrd's Southern Surroundings release
43). ELO - Some kind of comprehensive greatest hits, simlar to what was done for Lynyrd Skynyrd's Southern Surroundings release
44). Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking
45). Live - Throwing Copper
46). Live - Secret Samahdi
47). Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine
48). AC/DC - Everything from the Bon Scott era (I'm just going to assume that it's only a matter of time before Back in Black is reissued in 5.1)
49). Journey - Infinity
50). Lenny Kravitz - 5
51). Love & Rockets - their first 3 albums

I probably could've gone on forever...
16).

Now that is a list! Rock is my preferred genre for 5.1.

 

[keenly]

Sin After Sin would be great, but I think Sad Wings of Destiny would be even better.

Yes indeed! SW please do Priest!

 

[IMachine]

Now that is a list! Rock is my preferred genre for 5.1.

Yes I would love to see more rock in 5.1, but the best surround mixes are mostly pop mixes, as they have more elements to do discrete things with.
