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.

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"

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!

  2. Roger Waters/Pink Floyd - The Final Cut
  3. The Threepenny Opera, 1976, Conducted by Stanley Silverman and NY Shakespeare company
