I think a better title for this thread is "The Best Five LP's in Your Collection"! With billions of recordings out there, it is impossible to determine which five are the best. Dang, it would be difficult for me to sort out the best five LP's in my collection if I just limit it to five of the best per genre! I, like most audiophiles I suspect, not only buy their favorite music, they also buy music which are recorded well with good performances, too.
