What do you reference with? Share your favourite reference albums and tracks.

Here are some of my faves:

Alan Parsons Project - Ammonia Avenue (piano, orchestral and stereo field)
Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing (acoustic/clean guitar and stereo field)
Dream Theater - Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence (drums, guitar and bass)
Extreme - III Sides To Every Story (vocals, drums, guitar and orchestral)
Robyn - Show Me Love/Do You Know What It Takes (pop bottom and vocals)
Boyz II Men - II (vocal harmonies)
NSync - Bye Bye Bye/It's Gonna Be Me (pop vocals)
Leila K - Come On Now! (maximum bottom)

I'm not implying that these are the ultimate in any field, but they are the ones I know inside and out and find myself using the most.

I could add that I used to use Yello's Baby as a reference but got so totally bored with it musically that I just could not stand it anymore, but you mileage may indeed vary
