nine revival, Gypsy with bernadette peters
edit: oooh, I forgot the last five years. I totally recommend it, the songs are amazing, and they rhyme perfectly. It's norbert and Sherie Rene Scott, it is so good!

Arrive at a meeting late, say you're sorry, but you didn't have time for lunch, and you're going to be nibbling during the meeting. Then eat raw potatoes.

Taboo, Boy From Oz, Avenue Q, Wicked, We Will Rock You, Tick Tick Boom, La Cage Aux Folles, BKLYN, A New Brain, The Frogs (when released), Phantom of the Opera (movie)
those are just some personal favorites of mine and SO worth the money. i can't wait till Frogs is released.

Jesus Christ Superstar, Aida, POTO (Cdn highlights or movie soundtrack), Avenue Q. Boy From Oz is good because the cast is strong, but I'm not a fan of the songs.
And it's a cast recording, not a soundtrack.

AIDA, Taboo, Tick, Tick... BOOM!, The Last 5 Years, POTO movie soundtrack.
And, if you're looking for something Broadway-related but not a show, check out Adam Pascal's solo work. I'm just shamelessly plugging....

Back, he spurred like a madman, shrieking a curse to the sky. With the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high! Blood-red were the spurs i' the golden noon; wine-red was his velvet coat, when they shot him down on the highway, down like a dog on the highway, and he lay in his blood on the highway, with the bunch of lace at his throat...

I'm a big RENT fan and I also enjoy
* the Last 5 Years (A must have!)
* Tick Tick Boom (Also by Jonathan Larson)
* Wicked
* Les Miserables
* Songs For A New World
* Avenue Q
And from there, see where it takes you. Other posts cover classics that are essential but for me these CDs served as gateways to everything else (and remain my favorites).
Taboo is wonderful as well, especially if you're into the Rock operas. Thoroughly Modern Millie is delightful. There are so many others I'm neglecting so I'm gonna stop here.
Side Note- I can't find A New Brain anywhere, and really don't want to buy it online. I tried ordering it through different stores and they said it was out of print...

Cabaret is a must as i think Hairspray is as well. I am listening to it now and it is really catchy!
edit: you should also pick up Hair and YAGMCB, the revival!
