    interesting idea, tough to do though

    1. Hype! - soundtrack
    2. Sonic Youth - Goo
    3. White Stripes - Elephant
    4. Pure 80's - compilation
    5. Led Zeppelin - IV

    That's as best as I can do with only 5 albums though as it's missing some stuff like Ben Folds Five, REM, and classical music.

    Pearl Jam - Yield
    Paw - Dragline
    Clutch - From Beale St. to Oblivion
    Screaming Trees - Dust
    NIN - The Downward Spiral

    (almost had "the bends" at #5, but made a last second adjustment)

    Speaking of 80's, I heard an Oingo Boingo song on the radio we they sing about being a pediphile and liking little girls . . . very weird.

    In the moment that you left the room, the album started skipping, goodbye to beauty shared with the ones that you love.........

    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

    Pearl Jam- Binaural

    I really like when bands push themselves in a totally new direction, and I think each of these albums is a reflection of that for each artist.

    My musical taste is all over the place so I really can't name 5 albums that define my taste.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    ARGH! I had this all done and then it timed me out! Anyways it went something like this:

    pearl jam - ten
    NIN - the downward spiral
    cabaret voltaire - the covenant, the sword and the arm of the lord
    wumpscut - wreath of barbs
    dead can dance - self titled

    that was tough!

    We should try this with 10 next time :)
