This may be a stupid question, but am I the only one who found the Wicked recording to be over-rated? I haven't been able to bring myself to finish it yet--the only song I like is "Defying Gravity." Ah well, to each their own. Here's my picks:

*Les Miserables - Complete Symphonic Recording
*Jane Eyre - Toronto Cast Recording
*RENT
*Songs for a New World
*Aida

That's a hard one! Honorable mentions include L5Y, Avenue Q, Ragtime, and Scarlet Pimpernel.

Kitzarina I am with you. I got the Wicked soundtrack and heard it only once, since i was not impressed at all. But i am scared to say it out loud in the forum because it is so popular LOL.
I plan on giving it another try though, maybe it's one of those scores that grow on you.

Take care

Stephen Sondheim get three measly votes? and only one for a show that is not GYPSY? And I assume that you all love GYPSY because of Sondheim's lyrics, right? You all need to listen to things that were recorded before you were born.
Try:
SWEENY TODD
A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC
COMPANY
FOLLIES...

any version of these shows is not to be without on a desert Island.
PEACE.

rent
sideshow
ragtime
hairspray
wicked

wicked is a little over rated, but i can't get enough of it. i just play certain songs over and over. usually 3, 4, 11, 16. anything with idena belting. 16 is my favorite, and defying gravity is way overrated. every time i hear track five i want to shoot myself. and on march of wich hunters, does anyone else feel like they're suddenly in a musical about pirates, when that woman says "the marrrrch of wich hunnnterrrrrs!"?

I definately think Wicked is something that grows on you. The first few times I listened to it, it was just ok, but the more I listen the more I enjoy it. Forget only choosing five cast recordings copy your entire collection onto an IPod (Or as much as you can) and don't tell anyone! re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: 5 Cast Recordings You Couldnt Live
