I agree with Dave---too many but here's a shot at 5 for now:
EGBDF--Moody Blues
Dream Seqence--Tangerine Dream
Boy's and Girls--Brian Ferry
Beggars Banquet--Rolling Stones
Annie Haslam--Annie Haslam

Bonus: Elvis is Back--Elvis Presley

If you have a subwoofer or two they will get a very good workout...lots of 20hz stuff in these two.

Note: "Waterworks" is a two cd set. You can listen to the complete cd (MP3) at the link by clicking on the cd cover at the top of the page.

N.P.O.

“Cinemagic” Dave Grusin , He’s a great writer.
“Live At The Fillmore East” The Allman Brothers Band, nuf said.
“Abby Road” The Beatles. saving the best for last..
Tchaikovsky 5th, Ormandy The Philadelphia Orch.
Beethoven 6th, Gunter Wand, N. German Radio Sym. Orch.

All of the above recording are played every few months.
In no particular order:

Johnny Mathis - Open Fire, Two Guitars - incredible voice, clean guitar, no gimmiks

Allman Brothers - Live at Fillmore East - IMO One of the best live recordings ever and I grew up on it

Beatles - Rubber Soul - Love the imagery that it invokes

Mahavishnu Orchestra - Inner Mounting Flame - This is how I got into Jazz

Emmylou Harris - Wrecking Ball - The voice, the production, nuff said
thanks sogood51 foir the link. i listened to a couple of songs. all i can say is wow.

i need to think of my favorite selections. it's hard because i may be in the mood for jazz or classical, new age, etc. at different times.

i guess away of looking at the question is to ask:

if someone confiscated all but 5 recordings, what would they be ??

i will try to answer this question. for simplification, i will stick to my cd collection--about 1050 recordings.
i have some esoteric stuff and the best sounding discs are not necessarily my favorites.
