What 3 recordings from different genres do you and your wife/partner appreciate equally?

I will add 3 more to possibly revive this thread?

Marshall Crenshaw-ST
Peter Gabriel-So
The Manhattan Transfer-Vocalese

Oh yeah, like I she loves NRBQ (atta girl!), Kasey Chambers (a wonderful Australian Country artist), and Los Lobos. Great taste (for a chick ;-), ay?

Actually, we have pretty similar tastes. 

Being a guitar player, I do tend to enjoy Rock and electric Blues somewhat more than she does. I never play Led Zep when she's at home!  Picking just three titles for each genre is kind of ridiculous but here are some that immediately spring to mind...

Jazz

Jackie Ryan: You and the Night and the Music
Bill Evans: Live at the Vanguard recordings
Dave Holland Quintet: Prime Directive

Americana

Lucinda Williams: Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
Neil Casal: Fade Away Diamond Time
Railroad Earth: (Or are they JamBand?) Last of the Outlaws 

Singer-Songwriter

John Prine: The Missing Years
Courtney Marie Andrews: Honest Life
Patrick Park: Come What Will

Country 

Emmy Lou Harris: Luxury Liner
Jerry Jeff Walker: It's a Good Night for Singin' 
Rita Hosking: Come Sunrise 

Folk(ish)

Richard and Linda Thompson: I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight
Pentangle: Sweet Child
Birds of Chicago: Live From Space

Celtic

Solas: The Words that Remain
Lunasa: (self-titled)
John McSherry and Donal O' Connor: Tripswitch

JamBand

Chris Robinson Brotherhood: Big Moon Ritual
Sons of Champlin: Loosen up Naturally
Allman Bros: Live at Fillmore east

Great post!

And a great idea for a thread on your part, dayglow!  

Interesting what you suggest about most audiophiles' taste not being consistent with that of their wives. . . 

I will say that although our musical tastes are very similar, mine does not share my obsession with SQ !
