These are ten that popped into my head. I could probably pick 10 more to replace them if I thought hard enough.

Some of the following are multi-CD sets, but I don't care.

1. Bach - Mass in B minor - English Baroque Soloists conducted by John Eliot Gardiner (Don't be afraid of the period instruments; this is inarguably the greatest recording of the widely-deemed greatest composition of all time.)
2. Wagner - Der Ring des Nibelungen - Wiener Philharmoniker and various legendary singers (including Joan Sutherland, Kirsten Flagstad, and Birgit Nilsson) conducted by Sir Georg Solti (It doesn't get any better than Solti's Ring cycle. This is 14 discs of sublime and glorious musical theatre.)
3. Beethoven - Piano Sonatas - Wilhelm Kempff (These are the stereo recordings, although the earlier mono recordings are arguably his best.)
4.Mozart - Die Zauberflöte - Academy of St. Martin in the Fields conducted by Sir Neville Marriner (My favorite recording of, quite possibly, my favorite opera. Cheryl Studer is an achingly beautiful Queen of the Night.)
5. Beethoven - The 9 Symphonies - Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique conducted by John Eliot Gardiner (More period instrument recordings by Gardiner that nevertheless consistently astound, excite, and inspire)
6. Miles Davis - Kind of Blue (The ultimate jazz album and best American music of any kind as far as I am concerned. This is an absolutely indispensable album, and if you don't own it, I pity you.)
7. Miles Davis - Miles Ahead or Sketches of Spain (Take your pick here; these are both incredible albums of great significance. The Miles Davis/Gil Evans partnership is one of the most fruitful musical relationships of all-time.)
8. John Coltrane - A Love Supreme or Giant Steps (If you want to hear music produced by a man whose playing is so intense and inspired as to seem the product of one possessed, look no further.)
9. Robert Cray - Midnight Stroll or Shame + A Sin (My all-time favorite blues/soul performer)
10. Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood (Or any other Stevie album. He was a bright flame who, unfortunately, was extinguished far too early. The list of brilliant musicians who died young is tragically long.)

There are countless discs that would pain me to leave behind, including many classical recordings and those of Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, Joe Louis Walker, Phish, et al.
