Adding to the poll only one that hasn't been mentioned before: Dublin piper/whistle player Gavin Whelan's self titled new whistle CD. Wow. New #1 favorite for me!

TonyHiggins is right -
Davy Spillane: "Sea of Dreams" is a must

Of course...
Joanie Madden: "Song of the Irish Whistle"
Joanie Madden: "Song of the Irish Whistle 2"

I'd have to say:

Mary Bergin Feadoga II
Mary Bergin Feadoga Stain I
(close tie for 2nd) Willie Clancy The Minstrel From Clare
Paddy Moloney & Sean Potts "Tin Whistles"
The Storm - Moving Hearts
Bothy Band - Live in Concert. Now this one needs explanation! There are no tinwhistles on the CD, but the CD is so amazing and Matt Molloy is, well... Matt Molloy. This CD inspired me more than any other I've heard to work on learning all the tunes.

jomac,
Rent "Titanic" I know the movie is horrendous but Gaelic Storm is the band that played in the "Steerage" scene in the movie

I second the Gaelic Storm suggestion. Not very much whistle but all of their cd's are good.

Joanie Madden: "Song of the Irish Whistle"

Of all that I have, these two stand out above the rest.

OK, I'm a bit CD challenged when it comes to whistle, too, but I'll throw in a couple of my favorites (apparently rather obscure ones, too).

Chieftains/Various: Fire in the Kitchen
The Best of Ossian

Neither of these are primarily whistle based, but they both have some brilliant whistle-work.

Enjoy!
Tom

Gotta agree on Fire in the Kitchen Tom. Brian turned me onto it when I was in SLC and I listen to it at least once a day now
