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

Only 5!?!?!!  You’re killing me, man. 

1. The Everly Brothers, A Date With...when I listen to this album I can see/hear The Beatles, Beach Boys, Eagles...the Everlys crossed country, folk, blues and rock and gave us...country rock. 

2. Miles Davis, You’re under Arrest

3. Cream, Wheels of Fire

4. Django Reinhardt, Nuage. I have it on CD. Not sure if it’s on vinyl. But, can’t live without Django!

5. Beethoven’s 9th. Or maybe A Clockwork Orange would sooth the urge? 
I’d try to slip in a copy of Mozart’s Eine Keine...just eine! Also slip in some Rahsaan. Definitely Monk. 

This is NOT FAIR!

Miles-Kinda Blue
Jimi-Electric Ladyland
Santana-Abraxsas 
Pat Metheny-Offramp
Brubeck-Take 5

Make it harder.Only one album!Make you appreciate all your choices!!

Make it harder.One album!

Many excellent choices.....here are my suggestions:

R.E.M.  "Fables of the Reconstruction"

Traffic (for heavens sake!) "John Barleycorn Must Die"

Mark Knopfler "Shangri-la"

Roseanne Cash  "10 Song Demo"

Wailin' Jennys "Firecracker"
