Classic Rock in high resolution. What am I missing?

Some of the stuff you've listed can be found as loudness war masters/remasters and/or looks suspiciously like it may have been upsampled from CD resolution. Don't rely on the date of issue of an album stated on HDTracks website as being correct for the version that they sell.

 

There are many threads in the music section of the forum with analyses of hi-res downloads and discs.

Yes, I meant excessive limiting and dynamic compression when mentioning loudness war. I hate it!

 

Of your list, I recall some Neil Young, Talking Heads, Moody Blues and King Crimson are either loudened or suspected of being upsampled from CD quality, or both. Off the top of my head, there's loudened Eagles, Elton John, Eric Clapton, R.E.M and The Who. There must be plenty that I've forgotten.
