Here is a short list of some of my favorite multi-channel discs. These aren't necessarilly the absolute best discs around. In fact, I left off some pretty awesome ones! However, those listed here are all at least fairly decent and I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to them. ---Kazaam
It's simply amazing that something that started out as a mono release could sound so rich and full in surround sound all these decades later. Just be sure to lower the channel levels for the rears! --Kazaam [Full Review]
The surround mix won't blow your socks off, but it works. The music is what really grabs me. Listen as Cullum gives a jazz twist to pop-based music
such as Radiohead's "High & Dry". --Kazaam [Full Review]
I'm not much on classical music, but this is simply amazing! Musically, I don't find it
to be all that bad and the surround mix is definitely demo quality. It's almost fun!

This 2005 performance at San Francisco's Fillmore is highly energetic and entertaining.
The 16x9 anamorphic widescreen picture is top-notch and the DTS surround mix
adds the perfect amount of ambience. --Kazaam [Full Review]
Great music and great sound add up to one of the better multi-channel music discs around. "The Stranger" album is good, too; but I give the nod to "52nd Street".

This 1964 performance finds Cooke taking on not only his own hit records, such as "Twistin' The Night Away", but also showcasing his skills on other popular music of the day---be it folk or traditional. It has a nice surround mix, too! [Full Review]
Good tunes if you think you'd like that rock/rap sound combined with a bit of actual singing. The surround mix is very aggressive and experimental. Plenty of good bass, too! This is always a fun disc to pull out when trying to impress friends. --Kazaam [Full Review]
Here is a wonderful acoustic record that was produced by Alison Krauss. The band's music often defies typical classification. Though, often it falls into the general realm of the "Newgrass" genre. Sound quality and surround mix are top-notch, too!

If I'm not mistaken, this is a pure DSD recording. This live performance contains many fan favorites, including Krauss' breakthrough cover of "When You Say Nothing At All." --Kazaam [Full Review]
Take a few members from Tripping Daisy and add about 20 new members
to form an orchestra/choir that plays alternative pop/rock music.

It seems most recent Motown albums haven't been able to surpass those from the late 1960s when the Funk Brothers worked their musical magic. However, some vocal groups, such as Boyz II Men, definitely have the talent. And this album, especially given its magical 5.1 surround treatment, is a definite contender!
