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.

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!

Lets see...5...

1. A Clockwork Orange- It's got some good synthesizer music (I normally don't seek it out, but if we are on a spaceship, tumbling through the cosmos, it might come in handy when the martians get us). And of course it's got Ludvig's 9th!

2. John and Yokos 2 Virgins- put the cover over one of the windows. that'll scare most of the martians. Might be better NOT to play the album, never know what it might attract.

3. Blood Seat and Tears

4. Motown- Temptations or Miracles. Something to take me back to the days of being a kid, grinding on the pretty girls.

5. Gram Parsons- the Grievous Angel
