What albums should remain lossless?

In the midst of a big CD re-rip; what albums do people
really consider should remain in a lossless format (i.e. not
mp3)?

I'm talking about things that really _are_ a different
experience, and the audio is noticably better from a high
end mp3 to, say, flac or other lossless format.

I thought Untilted/Draft would be prime candidates for this,
but using iTunes to rip both to 192kbit files and apple's
lossless format, I honestly can't tell the difference, even
with a pair of mid-range headphones (sony somethings).

I remember being able to tell the difference at one stage.
Hmm.

heh, broke my vinyl virginity the other day by buying 2
records (ae/afx) on refund's advice, and yes, the sound is
much 'fuller', indeed.

but, i can't exactly turn my cd's into vinyl :-)

wtf am i going on about, i used to always play with a record
player and old records when i was younger. i mean,
beginning my own collection.

only thing that's going to suck now is do i buy a digital
format so i can rip it at the best quality, or do i buy a
vinyl for the nice analog listening experience?

not the point of this thread, anyway :P
