Bob's 'Must Have' Silver Discs

We have been leery in the past about such a list as this. Taste, likes, and dislikes are such a subjective thing. With e-mails coming in every week asking for our guidance, however, we have decided to take the plunge. This list is VERY exclusive. It takes into consideration the quality of the recording as well as the quality of the performance. It considers the logistics of presentation of the material along with the package aesthetics. Also keep in mind that, in keeping with the mission of our site, it only concentrates on commercial releases. There are incredible recordings, and even other commercial CDs that ought to be in your collection that didn't make this list for one reason or another. In short, this represents the very best of the best. All titles are not on the list, and it will be updated periodically. Your comments and suggestions are welcome for additions or deletions.
Also, see some suggestions from posters of the newsgroup RMD.
