Ella Fitzgerald - The Complete Songbooks
Miles Davis - The Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel
Billie Holiday - The Complete Verve
Thelonious Monk - The Complete Riversides
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Remastered Box Set
Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street, or...
Beatles - Rubber Soul
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Will the Circle be Unbroken
PJ Harvey - Stories from the City, Songs from the Sea
Louis Armstrong - Portrait of the Artist box set

Since I could listen to my 10 favorite recordings in less than a day, I am "cheating" by including some box sets in the mix. I could certainly enjoy a week off listening to these. This list is certainly not immutable--if I made another one later this afternoon, it would probably look very different.
