Best Recorded Vinyl Albums


What are your favorite 5 vinyl albums based upon the sheer sound engineering, mix, sonic depth and quality of the record?

I have 300 records to go through, but so far my five heart stoppers are:

1. Miles Davis/ Decoy
2. Any Steely Dan Album
3. Chicago 7
4. Jeff Beck/ Blow by Blow
5. Yes/ Fragile

Keeping myself away from classical music recommendations for a moment...

Paul Simon, Graceland - Columbia 25447 (yes, it's got a bit of digital edge to it, but marvelously recorded and performed otherwise. Just play "Under African Skies" for a real sonic delight.)

Sonny Boy Williamson, Keep It To Ourselves - Alligator AL 4787

Linda Ronstadt, For Sentimental Reasons - Asylum 60474

ZZ Top, Tres Hombres - London XPS 631 (yes, the Steve Hoffman mastered reissue from Rhino is really good.)

Emerald Forest, Soundtrack - Varese Saraband STV 81244 (outstandingly good)

After the Ball, Joan Morris and William Bolcom - Nonesuch H 71304 (takes me days to get this record out of my head each time I hear it.)

Cowboy Junkies / Trinity Sessions

Plink Floyd / Dark Side of the Moon

Yes / Fragile

Queens first LP

Muddy Watters / Folk Singer
Dead Can Dance - Into the Labyrinth
Radiohead - most all of em
Dave Brubeck - Take Five
Roy Orbison - Greatest Hits
Mary Black - No Frontiers

I love Tears for Fears - Seeds of Love but I think Songs From the Big Chair sounds ALOT better.
Thanks. I love Jeff Beck's "Guitar Shop" but didn't know it was on vinyl.

Yet another record I need to buy.

surprised no one has mentioned the Casino Royale soundtrack - that is usually included on lists of this type
