I believe they released Dark Side of the Moon as SACD as well.

Also look for DVD-Audio, which technically isn't a CD and might be kind of hard to find.

you are confusing HD-CD with SACD. HD is just a normal CD with a little extra information encoded to allow for 20-bit playback on compatible players. SACD is a completely different format.

Joe Satriani - Crystal Planet. Amazing amazing CD. Thank me later.

If you like heavy metal grunge, try Alice In Chains' Music Bank DVD. It's 5.1.

This isn't DVDA or SACD, but just plain old DVD (as far as I know - has DD 5.1 and DTS), but Eric Clapton's 'One More Car, One More Rider' DVD is great. The audio company that installed the system in our main presentation room used it as one of the demos. Great mix of his acoustic and electric pieces and the video quality is amazing too (the source video had to be high def it's so clear.) I wish they could timewarp back and do this with his Unplugged performance.
