Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list

I've been listening to some of my favorite recordings this weekend and was wondering what others on Audiogon felt were there favorites. We have all seen the Stereophile "Records to Die For", The Absolute Sounds recommended list, Music Directs' list, The Golden Ear, etc. now I'm hoping to assemble the Audiogon "Recordings To Die For". Please list your five favorite recordings, the ones you listen to over and over or play for friends. I would assume the sonic quality is excellent in that this is an audiophile site. The performance and enjoy ability should also be excellent. Please leave your top five, even if they are already chosen so we can discover the very top for the Audiogon listeners. ALSO PLEASE REFRAIN FROM CRITICIZING OTHERS OPINIONS AND JUST LEAVE YOUR FAVORITES!

August 2002: I have compiled a summary and a full printer-friendly list of all of the recommendations below.

Just saw the thread and off the top of my head I came up with:
- Laura Love: Fourteen Days. Great recording and the vocals just absolutely soar. Amazing harmonies.
- I really enjoy the new Lucinda William's Essence.
- I agree with the other poster, the latest Clapton, Reptile, is a really nice recording, well done, and it just sounds wonderful.
- Steely Dan's Two Against Nature is a reference.
- Of course, Davis' Kind of Blue. What can I say?

Way too many to mention.

Hey Audiom2001
Yeah, I plum forgot about that one ( Avalon). What a great record. And along that line. I would pick Brian Ferry's "Boys and Girls". Every cut is a gem and the recording is first rate. I have the vinyl and tried to find the cd one time and no luck. Maybe I didn't try hard enough. Man, for us music lovers, picking our favorites is a tough task, but one I sure don't mind doin'.
