If you could only keep 5 record albums, what would they be?


I am looking at my collection this evening and trying to determine my favorites.  If I had to narrow it down to 5 it would be: Dan Fogelberg...The Netherlands; Roy Clark...Yesterday When I Was Young; James Taylor...Flag; Talking Heads...77; and last but not at all least, Commodores...Greatest Hits. All oldies but goodies that I still enjoy listening to as much as when I bought them many years ago.

My Baker's five...


Only 5? Impossible!
Ok, here we go...

My choices are solely based on which music has so far given me magical listening pleasures and music I believe will continue to do so for the ”rest of my life. My choices are not based on which record has the best sound quality....

Pink Floyd Wish you were here (Quite obvious choice right?)

Dire Straits Communique (As a 11-year old boy I discovered this Masterpiece and I still love it)

Supertramp Breakfast in America (Another fantastic album from the golden year 1979)

Rainbow Rising (Say no more!)

KISS Alive! (Forget about Made in Japan by Deep Purple, this is the ultimate rock’n roll live-album)

But, there are so many more great albums...another day I might have made five other choices...

Over and out from Sweden!
Cant do it. It changes from day to day week to week month to month year to year.

So, for shits n’ kicks, here’s a snapshot:

1 Eva Cassidy - Live from Blues Ally. 4 LP set
2 Moody Blues - In Search of the Lost Chord
3 Henryk Gorecki - Symphony of Sorrowful Songs
4 Mikis Theodorakis - Canto General
5 Gram Parsons - Grievous Angel
