Top 5 cd recordings of all time?


I would like to buy cds that are recorded exceptionally well. Can you give me your recommendations of the 5 best cd recordings that you have heard? I particularly enjoy Jazz, New Age, and the Oldies. Thank you.

hello about the mobile fidelity copy of Pink Floyd"the Wall"I am of the opinion that this recording has equalization to roll off the highs and boost the bass on a good system it doesn't sound good, the recordings from the"shine on"box set are much better sounding.
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,

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.
Here are my nominees for five top jazz cd's:
1. Jeremy Davenport on Telarc
2. Monty Alexander "Echoes of Jilly's"
3. The Charlie Byrd Trio "au courant"
4. Leroy Vinnegar "Walkin' the Basses"
5. The Alan Broadbent Trio "Pacific Standard Time"
Here's a bonus in the country division: Merle Haggard "If I Could Only Fly" highly recommended even for non-country fans. Beautifully recorded.
Hard to argue with Floyd also Steely Dan's entire output is great musically and in terms of production,the MCA remasters from '99 onwards are superior to the previous CD versions.
Early Roxy Music stuff too now available on HDCD.
David Sylvian's recent Everything and Nothing compilation.
Also the Queen early stuff still stands up.
PJ Harvey's Songs From The City,Songs From The Sea-great modern rock recording.
Most old Jazz recordings sound great due to the simplicity of the actual recordings, most things by Miles,Coltrane,Mingus and Monk etc.
There are too many great recordings to isolate into 5.
