    Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
    Queen - A Night at the Opera
    Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
    Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
    King Crimson - In the court of the crimson king

    Two more

        [mention]steelworker [/mention] nice choice on the Ramones. I think I listen to other Ramones albums more these days but that first one just blew me away. I love listening to it on vinyl turning it up loud and hearing those symbols crash.
        I hated Sandinista when I first heard it. I love the Clash but that album just did nothing for me. Then listened to it years later and I couldn’t believe how much I loved it. What was my younger self thinking!
        I also wanted to put some Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash on the list but I could never narrow down an album from all that material.

          Great list @pechelman

          Zappa is absolutely not for everyone but I think Hot Rats has broader appeal than most of his catalog. I caught the bug when I shoplifted “Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life” double cassette when I was a dumb kid. I rediscovered him freshman year in college when I bought “Joe’s Garage” used CDs freshman year. I just couldn’t believe how good the drums sounded and how well they were played. Colaiuta remains my favorite drummer to this day, edging drummers like Tony Williams and Elvin Jones.

          When I was an even dumber kid I got deeply into King Crimson. At least I wasn’t dumb about music. “Red” was the album that got me, then “Crimson King,,” then “Discipline.” I also enjoyed their contemporary stuff and got to see them live with the Bruford/Mastelotto battery, which was a dream come true.

          Daft Punk is on my bucket list to see live so I was gutted for many reasons when they called it quits.

          Think it, be it.

            Thanks @mclaincausey. Clearly you're a man of fine taste 😃

            There's so much of Zappa that I love and still some that I have a hard time listening to. But certainly as a composer and on the guitar he was incredible. Joe's is another favorite of mine but also dig his jazzy stuff on waka/jawaka, the classical side on yellow shark, and pretty much everything where he shuts up and plays his guitar including that album. Muffin man, black napkin, watermelon in Easter hay, peaches, gumbo variations, green genes, rdnzl, Montana, etc. His catalog is so impressive and varied.

            If there was a good thing about pandemic, it was having a lot of time to explore lots of music I missed when I was younger due to different priorities.

            For me, while I can't say those sounds above are my top 5 they are certainly some favorites. Specifically, I like albums that work and evolve from beginning to end of possible tell a longer story. In particular I've always thought the opening track on that black Sabbath album is the best album opening ever which is partly why I picked it over paranoid which has a couple more of my favorite songs.

              [mention]pechelman [/mention] [mention]mclaincausey [/mention] Zappa is definitely an acquired taste. I couldn’t really get on to him until I heard joes garage. That album is great. I remember having Little Green Rosetta played at my wedding. Dance floor cleared of course but i it’s such a great tune!

                          The ATDI, HWM and Avail were all in heavy, heavy rotation for me during my college years. And of course Descendents, albeit a bit earlier for me. Nostalgic picks right there!

                            top 5 music
                            pixies - trompe le monde
                            sonic youth - daydream nation

                            melvins - bullhead

                            those albums are closest to my heart, could fit at least another 50 that also move me every time they i hear them. music is fantastic, although (IMO) definitely not going in the right direction.

                              Miles Davis: Kind of Blue

                                  I'd probably have a different list 15 minutes from now, but off the top of my head:
                                  5. The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
                                  4. Depeche Mode - Violator(maybe Music for the Masses)
                                  3. The Clash - London Calling
                                  2. Sisters of Mercy - First and Last and Always
                                  1. Danzig - Lucifuge
