You must have a valid reason for 100 albums to have..
I recommend a collection albums that sound fantastic.
The Wonderful Sounds of Female Vocals
The Wonderful Sounds of Male Vocals (two from Analoque productions)
Zuill Bailey Bach complete cello suites ( octave records)
Happy listening!!

I love so much of this music, interesting that it's practically all recorded on old equipment that doesn't sound near as good as we have now. Funny how the important part ultimately is the music not the equipment.
Chris Botti - When I fall in love
Van Morrison -Moondance
Frank Sinatra -The Very Good Years
Pet Sounds (mono)
s/t - Warren Zevon
Mahler - Symphony No. 3. Abbado/Vienna or Bernstein CBS (360 label)
What albums do I listen to over and over again?
Fleetwood Mac (The second incarnation)
Rolling stones—Exile on Main Street
U2—Joshua Tree
Honorable Mention:
Steely Dan—Aja
Led Zeppelin—Physical Graffiti
The Beatles—Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Amy Winehouse—Back to Black
Alabama Shakes—Boys and Girls
Frank Sinatra—Sinatra at the Sands

I remember seeing and thinking about that as well as one for male singers ,
thanks for the reminder , I'll look for that .
- The Band: Music From Big Pink.
- The Band: s/t (the "brown" album).
- Either Iris DeMent’s My Life (critic Robert Christgau gave it an A+ grade) or John Hiatt’s Bring The Family.
All four are, imo, perfect albums.
So for fun, I would offer three Christian music classics. Every song on these albums are very good and the production is extremely solid.
Larry Norman - "In Another Land"
Randy Stonehill - "Welcome to Paradise"
Mark Heard - "Appalachian Melody"
and two others
Michael and Stormie Omartian - "Seasons of the Soul"
Phil Keaggy - "What A Day"
I forgot to add The Wonderful Sounds of Female Vocals (Analogue Productions).
Don’t let the cheesy name fool you, this is a fantastic sampler of great artists, great recordings and a great pressing - if you like female vocals.
Great for showcasing your system as well.

True. There are dozens of good modern pieces, IMO. At least 0.001%.
Do you have vinyl references for the pieces you mention?
Mofi 45's of American Beauty and Workingman's Dead, and Neil Young's Decade
The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper
The Doors - s/t
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon
Happy Listening!
IMHO;
ROCK / POP; 1) BOWIE; HEROES
2) JAPAN ;GENTLEMEN TAKE POLAROIDS
3) 801; LISTEN NOW
JAZZ; 1) JEAN LUC PONTY; A TASTE FOR PASSION
2) JOHN SCOFIELD; BLUE MATTER
3) KENNY BARRON; SCRATCHAL
CLASSICAL; 1) SIBELIUS; SYMPHONY NO. 1 IN E MINOR
2) SATIE; GNOSSIENNE 1
3) MUSSORGSKY; NIGHT ON BALD MOUNTAIN
1) Alan Parsons, "vulture Culture"
2) Moody Blues, " in Search of the Lost Cord"
3) Beatles, " Abby Road"
@norton Don't hear a lot about Climax Blues Band. Always liked them. Recently picked up a nice box set (Amazon) containing their first 5 recordings. Put out by the Esoteric Recordings label. Going back to 1969 for the first two records, it's very impressive the use of soundstage. Some great engineering.
Idris Muhammad "Power of Soul"
Climax Blues Band " Shine On"
Steppenwolf "7"
I own many of the LPs suggested and agree they are great records. However, my criteria for 3 must have LPs would need to take into account how they actually sound of a good system. Many of the LPs I grew up loving, get very little play today as they just weren't recorded very well to start with. So classic LP's that also sound great:
Junior Wells - Come On In This House
Joshua Redman - Elastic (/Brain Blade's drumming is fantastic throughout)
Jimmy Smith - Dot Com Blues
Blood on the tracks-Dylan,Honky Chateau-Elton,Frampton - Comes Alive
I hope none of these are repeats - I did look...pick your own 3, too tough for me

Too numerous, 100 albums is a teaser.
Most albums of great music are available in very decent digital versions, so it is not that essential to hunt down a vinyl version. But, in some cases, the original vinyl release is quite a bit better than anything else. This particularly true with jazz and specialty recordings that were done direct-to-disc. These are some of my picks:
Dave Brubeck-Take Five (original, 6-eye Columbia recordings sound better than anything that followed).
Bill Berry Allstars-For Duke (fantastic direct-to-disc recording)
David Peabody-Americana (obscure recording that was not reissued digitally that sounds amazing).
Duke Ellington-Blues in Orbit (6-eye Columbia original. Another recording not surpassed in reissue. Sony though well enough of the recording to make it among the first SACDs issued, but even that was not as good as the originsl0
Impossible...I would personally have trouble with all 100. Still, too much great music would be left out. Good luck with your pursuit. AB
When an OP clearly asks for 3 selections, why do so many insist on posting a much larger number?
Oh, I forgot.

@palasr
Not sure how relevant that is, as the same could be said for an "original, genuine pressing" of Kind of Blue, Pet Sounds, Allman Bros. at the Fillmore East, Blue Train, etc. As there was no reference to cost in the question and there are always avenues for finding good bargains on anything if one is diligent.

@tony1954 ,
You should also mention to the OP that an original, genuine pressing of Tool's "Aenima" will run at least $1000. There are many, many bootleged versions, but very few genuine articles.
I’m ashamed I didn’t remember the 1st Moody Blues album , when they were a Piano Based Blues Band with Denny Laine singing. Many are aware of the Justin Hayward Era, but this is how they came to fame.

"I find myself agreeing with you today" is a good example of why the music related threads tend to be more enjoyable (and civil) then the equipment related threads.
+1 for Jeff Buckley - "Grace;" I can't believe I forgot that one. While not a universally loved & respected album (or critics choice), I can't imagine not having "Argus" by Wishbone Ash in my collection.
#1 Bowie...Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars....#2Warren Zevon..Excitible Boy....#3. Jeff Beck...Truth or Beckola......Honorable Mention CSN....Daylight Again and Karla Bonoff S/T
Now that you have a lot of peoples favorites or suggestions ( I gave suggestions because my favorites would not necessarily be your favorites ) you have to now consider pressings . So here are a few thoughts from my experiences . For rock I like Japanese and German pressing in general , the English/Great British ones can be good if you find one without a lot ot background noise , Reprise is a good label So is London and Abbey Road . For classical I am limited in experience to Chicago Symphony Pressings , RCA Living Stereo , Decca/London ffrr and Mercury Presence , for Jazz Blue Note , for Folk Vanguard .
I like fidelity of the new re-releases at 45rpm as well as the double vinyl 33rpm releases ( like Dire Straits " Brothers in Arms " ) .
All of these are available within reason whereas the MOFI original and the new Ultra Disc are Ultra expensive , as are the Classic pressing ( great fidelity but so so quietness ) the same with Chesky .
While all this is just my opinion it is some to start thinking about .
Great choices listed, mine:
Supertramp - Breakfast in America
Flertwood Mac - Rumors
Dire Straits - S/T
honorable mention:
Eagles - The Long Run
Keep us posted and good luck
Good question! Great answers from folks!
Santana - Abraxas (Original on Columbia)
Dave Brubeck - Take Five (Several good pressings out there)
Vivaldi - Four Seasons, Boston Symphony w/ Seiji Ozawa conducting (Telarc)
