Building a collection

Having re-entered (the low end) of quality listening, I will slowly begin building a collection.  To that end, I have made a list of artists/groups and would ask you to indicate the ONE album you would recommend from as many artists as you wish, with an ear (no pun intended) to quality of performance and recording.

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.
