Early folk music is also amazing. Probably because they were minimally miked. Early Joan Baez, and early Peter, Paul, and Mary have a "you are there" sort of quality, very three dimensional and very lush and full. Incidentally the PPM are phase inverted in my system.
I have a theory that early 50/60's rock and pop often made the top ten lists because the sound was exceptional. When ever I see those original LP's I pick them up and am pleasantly surprised for the most part.
A good sign is Bill Porter's name on the production credits. His credits include Roy Orbison, Chet Aktins, and Elvis Presley and many others ( check out the other Monument label artists: Kim Sisters), Everly Brothers, Sue Thompson, etc.
MY original Orbison's blow way the reissues and the mono versions are even better than the stereo.
