Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list

I've been listening to some of my favorite recordings this weekend and was wondering what others on Audiogon felt were there favorites. We have all seen the Stereophile "Records to Die For", The Absolute Sounds recommended list, Music Directs' list, The Golden Ear, etc. now I'm hoping to assemble the Audiogon "Recordings To Die For". Please list your five favorite recordings, the ones you listen to over and over or play for friends. I would assume the sonic quality is excellent in that this is an audiophile site. The performance and enjoy ability should also be excellent. Please leave your top five, even if they are already chosen so we can discover the very top for the Audiogon listeners. ALSO PLEASE REFRAIN FROM CRITICIZING OTHERS OPINIONS AND JUST LEAVE YOUR FAVORITES!

August 2002: I have compiled a summary and a full printer-friendly list of all of the recommendations below.

Lots of great music listed here already. Maybe some of these sre repeats but here goes.
1)Satchmo Plays King Oliver- Classic Records reissue LP
2)Oh Brother Where Art Thou Soundtrack- cd
3)James Taylor 'Hourglass'- cd
4)Norah Jones 'Come Away With Me'- Classic Records LP
5)Alison Krauss 'New Favorite'- LP
Oh yeah, it is tough to stick with just 5. By the way this is a really fun thread.

Shelby Lynne 'Identity Crisis'
Sarah Chang 'R. Strauss Violin Concerto & Sonata in E flat for Cello and Piano' EMI Classics
Alicia Keys 'Songs in A minor' This one because I don't even like hip hop, rap or most rhythm and blues and I can't stop playing this one or at least most of the songs on it.

Norah Jones 'Feels Like Home' Didn't think I was going to like this one very much... thought it might be 'OK'. But--it has snuck into my regular rotation, and has a dominating presence there.
