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.

Roger Waters Amused To Death(LP, The disc SUCKS when compared to the LP...yes even the gold one)

Paul McCartney Unplugged (CD)

Alpha Blondy and the Wailers "Jerusalem" (Linn LP)

Al Stewart Time Passages/Year of the cat LP

Willy Deville "Miracle" (If you are a Dire Straits nut, you NEED this album, since it was produced by sir Mark himself.)
If you get the CD make sure it is the REAVEN RECORDS release. The other one SUCKS!

UB40 "Live, with Energy" LP is good but the CD blows it away.

Anything Sting has ever done.
