#1 for me is the Roxy Music '' The Complete Studio Recordings ''.
#2 Bob Dylan '' The Original Mono Recordings ''.
#3 The Beatles '' The Original Studio Recordings '' Stereo ( Still looking to get the mono )
#4 The Doors '' Perception Box Set '' ( I'm sure the new SACS's are better. )
#5 Queen '' Queen 40 Volume 1 ''

Those are my top 5. I find you get alot of music for a better price buying the sets than individual titles. Would like to here anyone else's thoughts or recomondations. Lots of good stuff on '' Origina Album Series '' from Amazon too. For those that don't know.

    2) Billie Holiday - "The Complete Decca Recordings"

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    (4) Santana - Dance of the Rainbow Serpent (3 CDs)
    (5) Coltrane: The Classic Quartet: The Complete Impulse Studio Recordings (8 CDs)
