  Best Recorded Vinyl Albums
What are your favorite 5 vinyl albums based upon the sheer sound engineering, mix, sonic depth and quality of the record?

I have 300 records to go through, but so far my five heart stoppers are:

1. Miles Davis/ Decoy
2. Any Steely Dan Album
3. Chicago 7
4. Jeff Beck/ Blow by Blow
5. Yes/ Fragile

Keeping myself away from classical music recommendations for a moment...

Paul Simon, Graceland - Columbia 25447 (yes, it's got a bit of digital edge to it, but marvelously recorded and performed otherwise. Just play "Under African Skies" for a real sonic delight.)

Sonny Boy Williamson, Keep It To Ourselves - Alligator AL 4787

Linda Ronstadt, For Sentimental Reasons - Asylum 60474

ZZ Top, Tres Hombres - London XPS 631 (yes, the Steve Hoffman mastered reissue from Rhino is really good.)

Emerald Forest, Soundtrack - Varese Saraband STV 81244 (outstandingly good)

After the Ball, Joan Morris and William Bolcom - Nonesuch H 71304 (takes me days to get this record out of my head each time I hear it.)
