Abbey Road your favorite too Foul? It's hard to choose, but I think I would be better off having a little variety. (I can take hypothetical questions a little too seriously). So I had to cut the White Album (although I suppose The White Album *is pretty ecclectic) as well as Dark Side.

Well, I suppose I might replace All Things Must Pass with Beethoven's 9th, but White Album won't budge!

Blue Lines - Massive Attack
Grace - Jeff Buckley
Absolution - Muse
Statues - Moloko
Dummy - Portishead
I think it's more important to have five albums that will be able to compliment most moods than to pick the five best albums ever.

Yes, that's my reasoning, too, Nav.

My reasoning too. Just so happens my 5 favorite albums cover the moods, as well.

Muse is really good, They just haven't had time to make it onto my desert island list yet. I have to know that I absolutely cannot get sick of a particular album for more than a month or so before I can really say if I like them.

Absolution is perhaps a brave choice, but I wanted to have a Muse album and it's more balanced than their first too efforts which were, respectively, too quiet and too rocky.
Absolution has a very good range, with songs like Sing for Absolution contrasting nicely with more riotous efforts like Stockholm Syndrome.

Wow! I thought I was the only guy who appreciated Steven Earle! Nice choice.
If you like Earle I would highly recommend Grant Lee Buffalo's Mighty Joe Moon and Fuzzy. Take a listen and let me know what you think AG.

I too was surprised to see "Copperhead Road". I haven't heard it in at least a decade, but it was a helluva album.
