If you could only keep 5 record albums, what would they be?


I am looking at my collection this evening and trying to determine my favorites.  If I had to narrow it down to 5 it would be: Dan Fogelberg...The Netherlands; Roy Clark...Yesterday When I Was Young; James Taylor...Flag; Talking Heads...77; and last but not at all least, Commodores...Greatest Hits. All oldies but goodies that I still enjoy listening to as much as when I bought them many years ago.

What a great list.  It shows me that I have a ton of things I have not heard before and look forward to streaming and downloading them.  Thanks to all who posted their favorites.  Now I have my xmas list.  I guess there will be no new tweaks or upgrades for a while.  This list is probably the cost of an upgrade.  Probably more bang for the buck.  

My List:
Stardust, Willie Nelson
Traveler, Chris Stapleton
MTV Unplugged, Eric Clapton, 
Revisited, Creedence Clearwater
Greatest Hits, James Taylor
Folsom Prison, Johnny Cash
Its about Time, Hank
Gunslinger, Garth Brooks
Diana Krall, Turn Up the Night
Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd

Sorry that's more than five.  
Allman Bros. Band - Live at the Filmore
Janis Joplin - Cheap Thrills
Dave Brubeck - Take Five
Cream - Wheels of Fire
Eva Cassidy- Live at Blues Alley

Rolling Stones -- Exile on Main Street
Lucinda Williams -- Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
John Coltrane -- A Love Supreme
Neil Young -- Decade
Thelonious Monk -- Brilliant Corners
I have to say, it is like asking "who's your favorite child?"
I am past the half century mark so there's so much great music tied to so many great experiences. All of the above albums have me saying "ya, that one". The five best for me are the mood and flavor of the day. Too many to be concise. And for that I'm grateful. 

Genesis ---Trick of the Tail

Kansas--Left Overture

Queen --News of the World

Todd Rundgren-- Adventures in Utopia

Aerosmith --Get your Wings

This is just throwing some off the top of my head. I’m sure if I had it to seriously do this, I would put more thought into it . But these are pretty good
