Top 5 cd recordings of all time?

Roger Water's "Amused to Death", gold Sony Mastersound version.

Pink Floyd's "The Wall" MFSL gold version

Neither are jazz, new age, but may be The Oldies by now.
Still the best produced CDs I own.

I'd have to agree with the Pink Floyd recommendation. After upgrading my speakers to Thiel 1.5s I was listening to everything I own "for the first time" again. What I found was that all later Pink Floyd was the best produced/recorded music I owned.

1. You want explosive dynamics, crystalline highs and wall rattling bass? Try Triluk Gurtu's "LIVING MAGIC".
2. For exquisitely recorded male vocals, get Doc Cheatham on Orange Blue. In a darkened room, you can swear he's in the room with you; so spooky and realistic is the effect!
3. For pure orgasmic sonic delight, try Clementine's eponymous CD on Orange Blue (FRENCH). Listen to "EASY LIVING" (CUT #2)..., if you don't get a stiffy, then you're either dead or your last name is BOBBIT!
4. If you want a giant Bosendorfer to magically appear in your miniscule listening room, they you have to listen to 3 Blind Mice's "MISTY" by JVC (XRCD). I have never heard a piano reproduced so naturally and with so much power! The first few bars will literally knock your socks off!
5. And lastly, for some spectacular big band sound with some of the most powerful transients these humble ears have heard..., try Reference Recordings' BIG BAND BASIE! Be real careful with the volume control, coz this cd has the widest dynamic range I have yet heard put on record! When the horn section goes full blast..., watch out!!!

Enjoy,
Jojo

I hope that the CD copy of "For Duke" is as good as the vinyl copy. As far as CD goes, the Heart Live CD from 1996, the live Eagles and some of the releases from Fidelis are VERY good.
