Favorite surround sound albums?

What are some of your favorite surround sound albums, and why?

By "surround" I would qualify any album mixed with more than 2 discrete channels. In most cases this would imply quadraphonic (4.0) and 5.1 surround sound albums.

If you can, please also specify the year, channel setup and source medium (e.g. "Dark Side of the Moon", 2003, 5.1, SACD). It's a technical forum so obviously more technical details are always welcome.




I'll start the discussion with some of my favorites so far:

* Queen, "A Night at the Opera", 5.1, DTS 96/24, DVD-Video
* Pink Floyd, "Dark Side of the Moon", 4.0 (quad), AC3 48/16, original Alan Parsons 1973 quad mix featured on "Immersion" boxset, DVD-Video
* Beck, "Sea Change", 5.1, DTS 48/24, DVD-Audio
* R.E.M., "In Time 1988-2003", 5.1, MLP 96/24, DVD-Audio
* The Beach Boys, "Pet Sounds", 5.1, AC3 48/16, DVD-Video
