LOTR trilogy

Dresden Files, James Marster's narrates, he gets the hang of it by book 3.

Ready Player One was excellent, narrated by Wil Wheaton.

Ian McKellen's Odyssey

Not a huge fan of full dramatizations but Mansfiled Park has David Tennant and Venedict Cumberbatch

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy narrated by Stephen Fry

Jum Dale's Harry Potters

Anything by Bill Bryson, narrated by Bill Bryson

 

I am so fussy about the narrator that even books I absolutley love I can't listen to on audio.  Forinstance, I adore the Spenser novels but Joe Montagna is NOT Spenser, he ruins the audio books for me.
