I am so glad that RENT is featured on so many lists ! Such a great and now deservedly CLASSICAL recording !
I might call Rent classic now (though it's a little soon), but I'd never call it classical.
Mine, from longest obsession to most recent:
West Side Story
Guys and Dolls
Sweeney Todd
Follies
Caroline, or Change
Light in the Piazza (recently, we'll see...)

I listen to so many shows. Usually changes to whatever show I am working on at the time. Right now my favorites are:
-Ragtime
-Rent
-Baby
-Falsettos
-A New Brain
-Grand Hotel
-Wicked
-Suessical
-Aida
-thoroughly Modern Millie
-Big River
-Jekyll & Hyde
-Les Miz
-Witches of Eastwick
A lot of them I performed,and a lot of them I just listen to during hard times. Just lost two friends in the St. Louis Community theatre world, and listening to some of these shows brings back so many memories of these shows.
can't stand Rent to be quite honest.
Hello Dolly
Lets see here if I get these in order, Let My People Come, Hair, A Chorus Line, Les Mis, and recently Nine, the revival and I'm very hooked on Alter Boyz right now!.

Liz, can you please clarify the difference for me ? I think I have a vague idea, but being a foreigner and all, I am not sure of the distinction ! What I meant by classical is that, it looks like it has defied time and is considered an important must-have recording in musical theater. Should I have used classic instead ? Thanks !
I can't stop to listen to rent. It's the best musical, i think.
