OK this is harder than I thought.
Tool - Lateralus
Metallica - Master Of Puppets
Bionic Jive - Armaggeddon Through Your Speaker
Jason Becker - Perpetual Burn
Marty Friedman - Dragon's Kiss
but if I could have 5 more!
Deftones - Saturday Night Wrist
Korn - Follow The Leader
Megadeth - Rust In Peace
Billy Joel - Greatest Hits
Acapella - Set Me Free

This thread really made me think, and actually go to my collection and look at what I had and still played.
In no particular order
Bruce Springsteen- Born to Run
Stevie Wonder-Songs in the Key of Life
Nirvana-Nevermind
Stones-Let in Bleed
Beatles-Sgt. Peppers
smuggle list:
Beatles-Live at the BBC-This set shows what a tight, killer live band they were in the 60's
Van Halen- 1 - Still remember the day I first heard it.
Guns and Roses- Appetite - Still makes me feel aggressive. LOL
Beach Boys- Pet Sounds
Elton - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Bruce Springsteen- Born to Run I'd have to go with Darnkess on the Edge of Town if I took a Springsteen album. There's something really amazing about that album.

5 CDs? Impossible. Five collections? Maybe
Everything by the Beatles
Everything by Mozart
Everything by Elvis Costello
Everything by XTC
Everything by Steely Dan
That's NOT everything, but it might suffice to keep me sane

I'd have to settle for the following:
Alan Parsons - I Robot
Phil Collins - Face Value
Foreigner - 4
Michael McDonald - If That's What It Takes
Rush - Signals
WOW! that is NOT what I would have expected from you, James! The music I've listened to from you on the songs forum are nothing like those!!! but I guess maybe yours are recordings of other bands?? I LOVE your first 2. Anything by Parsons, Phil, Genesis, actually are on the top of my list. Also Kansas and Yes.

Ugh, showing my age here, there's lots of new stuff I like, but not whole album-wise:  Desire - Tuxedomoon Pyamarama - Roxy Music Uncertain Smile - The The From the Lion's Mouth - The Sound Peer Gynt Suite - Edvard Grieg
I'm a perfectionist, and perfect is a skinned knee.

Peer Gynt Suite - Edvard Grieg
Which recording of Peer Gynt. I have one by errr... London Philharmonic(?) that is less than inspiring (polygram I think). There is one by Deutche Grammaphone that is really nice (Especially Hall of The Mountain King).

Dunno, I have some cheapo recording from way back when, and it's some Austrian inpromptu orchestra for the whole CD-series, and they hired all kinds of Eastern European musicians on the cheap. That is not to say they weren't top class, only the quality of the recording isn't the best, but the performance is adequate, quite so even. Does make a big difference, I agree. I have one Vivaldi (ahem) that's tons better than anything else I heard, also ancient disc.

Peer Gynt Suite you say guys! I'm seriously in the process of arranging something along the lines of this scratch track to 'honour' one of my favourite classical albums. Working title is Peer 2 Peer as I'm working on a 'Morning Mood' intro with a lot of 'In the Hall of the Mountain King' riffage. The scratch track is HERE ON SOUNDCLICK if you fancy a quick listen.

Thanks Shad! I'm trying to work it up as a collab between myself and a couple of good friends in the Guitar Tracks forum. One is doing the drums and 'orchestrating' the Morning parts in his SONAR 7 PE and the other guy is adding some vox and some lead guitar. When it's fully arranged, it's going to be about 8 - 9 minutes long but I think there's enough original material going in there with the Grieg stuff to keep it interesting for that amount of time. Again, thanks for your kind words Shad [or are you his brother who's looking after his appartment and PC.....  ] Steve Edit - spelling mistakk

Peer 2 Peer is funny! Enjoyed that, bass needs a few different notes than just the guitar chords tho - learning all about that ATM.

Yeah I agree Rob - it's still very much at the experimental stage at the moment. When I hit on the potential there, I just chucked in a drum loop, plugged in and got it down as quickly as I could - those are great moments in songwriting/recording, when you really think something is going to work. Suppose it's like lyric writers who always have a pen/paper or a dictaphone on them!

Thanks Rob - that is cool.
I didn't realise just how much you could do with an e-bow!
I like the Grieg bit but the bagpipe stuff is amazing.

Hehehe  I am going to download your song, if you do not mind Steve, and try to improvise some keyboard part to it. Is that OK with you? (The song got me stoked). -edit - ok, seems you need to be a member to download... would you be willing to email me the MP3?

i'd leave it up to chance/fate as to what came along. that tends to manage unpredictable needs better than my contrived intentions. the island sounds would be preferable to anything else most of the time. being 'stuck' with such a small group, i'm afraid i'd end up hating something. but supposing i had to gather those from which the chosen would come from...(and after all, this is really a 'what we like' thread :)
citrus – asobi seksu (current affection)
at the village vanguard/you took the words right out of my heart – paul motian trio
another green world; neroli – brian eno
roomic cube – takako minekawa
dark magus; pangaea; live/evil – miles davis
nilsson schmilsson – harry nilsson
tales from topographic oceans – yes
wong faye collection
zakir hussain collection
low – david bowie
largest string trio/quartet collection
largest solo guqin collection (this is actually the indispensable one; perfect for solitude)
