Godsdarnit .. A banjo-thread and no mention of Earl Scruggs? Every banjo lover out there should know the classic "Foggy Mountain Breakdown". Whatever you're into, do a search for it on youtube or someplace else if you don't already know it.
I'll recommend "The Earl Scruggs Revue" from 1973 which really has a lot of guest artists on it.
.. So Earl Scruggs did a lot with other people, most notably Lester Flatt as they were a bit of a duo (Scruggs & Flatt / Foggy Mountain Boys). That stuff's good too.
