Define your taste in music in 5 albums

edited June 2008 in Other Music
I think we'll get very different selections.

Here's the rules - This challenge is to tell the most about your musical tastes in 5 albums. Not necessarily your 5 all-time favorite albums, but 5 that, collectively, tell the most about what you like. So here's my selection:

The beatles- white album
The pixies- surfer rosa
PJ- yield
Michael Jackson- thriller
Led Zepp- 2

    Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Yr Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven
    Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and The Sinner Lady
    The Clancy Brothers - Come Fill Your Glass With Us
    Wu-Tang Clan - 36 Chambers (and as far as solo records go, GZA's Liquid Swords)

    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}
