O.K., this STILL isn't all-time top 5 (my last post was the Jon Brion top 5), but...
Metallica -- Master of Puppets, And Justice for All, and Metallica (black album)
Hearing all three of these albums come down the pike with the same artists (except Cliff was only on the first) and the same basic approach but SUCH different sonic textures was/is a lesson in mixing and production for me.
AJFA is still one of the driest albums in history -- I've been listening to it since it came out and STILL haven't decided exactly how I feel about it...sure would like to hear some bass on it, though (that's the common complaint)! There is no denying that they were going after a unique sound on that one.
