The best music ever written or recorded

I have never in my life been able to narrow down what I felt was the best music ever written, but today I am in the zone*. I think I can state the top 5.

1.) J.S. Bach: Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin
(my pick: Akiko Suwanai, HiRes only – not SuperCD)

2.) Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto No. 2
(my pick: Itzhak Perlman, HiRes only)

3.) Leadbelly’s collected recordings
(good luck tracking down everything*)
4.) Robert Johnson’s complete recordings

5.) Violent Femmes’s Why Do Birds Sing?
