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.

The way I see it, a record album was originally a cardboard book with paper sleeves and a bunch of 78s in it.  A "record" was just a single 78.  So as far as I'm concerned, an album can be a boxed set!

Obviously we all have more than five favorites but I'd be happy if I had these 5 on a desert island (with my hifi)
  1. Roy Harper - Flashes From the Archives of Oblivion. 
  2. Roger Waters/Pink Floyd - The Final Cut
  3. The Threepenny Opera, 1976, Conducted by Stanley Silverman and NY Shakespeare company
  4. Hawkwind - Space Ritual
  5. Leonard Cohen - Live in London
