Inspired by a drunken conversation whilst on holiday, another great "get your post count up" thread:

If you could have only 5 CDs, what would they be ?
(retail, not your own compilations).

Mine:
1) Radiohead : OK Computer
2) Temple of the Dog : Temple of the Dog
3) Lou Reed : Transformer
4) Eagles : Best of
5) Marillion : The Thieving Magpie (a kinda "best of" live)

Great thread

Deep Purple - Made In Japan
I love the Mark II albums, and this has a reasonable selection of their best stuff (up to 1972, and up to 2003

), but the performances are just fantastic :notworthy:

Best live album ever.

Led Zeppelin I
Not their best album, but the one I listen to most, and almost as varied as their entire output

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
A close one between this, Dark Side and Pulse, but I just love Shine On too much

Dire Straits - Alchemy
Almost all of their very best stuff, without a bad track, and recorded at their peak :thumbs:

Some great solos.

Dream Theater - Live Scenes From New York
An excellent group of very talented musicians, and this is three hours of a fair amount of their best stuff but with great performances and a nice atmosphere

That's not changed for some time, and won't for some time either :tongue:

I could listen to them endlessly happy that I was listening to 1% of the best music ever, but that's fine for me

ooh ooh I want to add Dire Straits into my collection somewhere. I was wened at that music from about 2 onwards. I guess my fave album is making movies, but brothers in arms, comes a close second.

Dont think i have listened to the alchemy album sine I was 14. ACK!!! :eek:

wowee. /opens kazaa.....
