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.

One thing I know for sure is I would pick double or three LP sets. Then I double or triple the listening pleasure.

Obviously, five is a ridiculously small, arbitrary number, but I'll play along. And if more titles demand to be listed, I'll post again. Here are five that come to mind today, some well-known, some less so: 

Dark Side of the Moon

Brahms Piano Concerto No 2; Gina Bachauer, paino; Chesky Records

Joan Osborne: Early Recordings

Billy Joel: The Stranger (his masterpiece)

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers: Moanin’
