Top 5 cd recordings of all time?


I would like to buy cds that are recorded exceptionally well. Can you give me your recommendations of the 5 best cd recordings that you have heard? I particularly enjoy Jazz, New Age, and the Oldies. Thank you.

This may seem like a trite pick, but I find myself listening to my XRCD recording of Sonny Rollins, Way Out West, over and over again, and bringing it w/me whenever I am auditioning any kind of equipment. The single notes of the plucked acoustic bass are so beautiful and rich, they are a real test for speakers, cables, amps, and CD players.
Another beautifully recorded CD I listen to is my XRCD recording of Bill Evans, Everybody Digs Bill Evans. All instruments sound gorgeous, another great test CD when you are auditioning equipment.
Enjoy them!
