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!

I am new to this and at present I only have a few that I will recommend. This first...a club mix LP done in 1985 that is a total of 19 mins. of absolute pleasure...I wish I had a truely hifi system to enjoy this cut. The others are on cd and are generally very clean, dynamic, and Hell.... just really sound great (will also have to improve my newbe audiphile vocabulary. So here goes!

1) Commodores "Night Shift" LP club & instrmt mixes 19mins
2) Dire Straits "On Every Street" CD
3) Eagles "Hell Freezes Over" DVD
4) Steve Winwood "In the Light of Day" CD

Since I am new to this site, I am really hoping that I can get a good idea of what is considered audiophile sound while still being able to enjoy the music. I will attempt to sort through the posts and select the most choosen recording for my next purchase.

Thanks
