Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list

Just some thoughts, and please excuse me if these are not considered "audiophile" recordings, but I think the most important thing is the enjoy derived from the music itself, not necessarily the recording(or the equipment).
1. Darkness on The Edge of Town-Bruce Springsteen
2. Jazz-Ry Cooder
3. Pete Townshend Live at the Deep End
4. Sam Cooke's Greatest Hits
5. Rubber Soul-Beatles

I may have made a mistake with one or more of my recommendations...I went out and bought Diana Krall, Lucinda Williams, Pam Tillis, and Cowboy Junkies cds after reading the above recommendations... I now own 4 Lucinda Williams cds and I'm looking for more...I can say the same for Cowboy Junkies who were almost as impressive. I first listened to them on cdnow, which really didn't seem to do them justice in the final analysis. Anyone who hears Lucinda Williams sing "Am I too Blue for you" has got to love it or at least should. Diana Krall and Pam Tillis are certainly worth adding to anyone's collection. I didn't care for the first two songs on Lucinda Williams cd but the rest was pure gold...Cowboy Junkies cd "Trinity Series" first song is not indicative of the rest of a very good cd. A couple of Lucinda William's cds could probably knock a couple of my recommendations off the list and I will admit that at least some of you know what you are talking about.

Kenny Barron, Charlie Haden
The Night and You, Live piano and bass. Awesome and beautiful

My favorite recordings at this time
Ben harper- Fight For Your Mind
Los Lobos - Kiko
Richard Thompason- Rumor and Sigh
Miles Davis- Walkin'
Jean Sibelius- Symphony No1

My favorites lean more toward rock music which most do not regard as deserving of the "Audiophile" stamp of approval yet many people listen to it and want good recordings.

1-Dead Can Dance - Toward the within
2-Sinead O'Connor - I do not want what I haven't got
3-Creed - My own prison
4-NIN - Pretty hate machine
5-Tangerine Dream - 4 CD box set
