I suffer tremendously from paralysis of analysis, so it would take me weeks/months to whittle down to 5 records to keep. That said, I'm going to change my rules for replying, so I can not waste too much time thinking about it.
If the house was burning down and I have time to grab 5 albums TODAY, I would pull the following from my record shelves:
Pete Townshend - "White City - A Novel"
The Tubes - "What do you Want From Live"
Supertramp - "Brother Where You Bound?"
dada - "Puzzle"
The Jayhawks - "Hollywood Town Hall"
and if my wife could carry 5 more of my records through the burning house, I would give her:
World Party - "Goodbye Jumbo"
The Who - "Who's Next"
Elvis Costello - "Spike"
Robben Ford - "Robben Ford and the Blue Line"
Rush - "Hemispheres"
If I wasn't in a hurry and had more time to think I might............ ;~)
