You want me to pick 5 out of my about 2500 LPs, all of whom are parts of me, to greater and lesser degrees?  I could never settle on 5.  Also, are you asking about sonics, purely, or about emotion?

Off the top of my head and thinking sound quality…

Tracy Chapman self titled album
Sting - The Dream of The Blue Turtle
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Dire Straits - (two of them…..included 
                      tracks “Money for Nothing”
                       and “Fade to Black”  Together,
                       they’d have made a once per
                       half-century double album, IMO.
Supertramp - Breakfast in America

Daft Punk RAM
Dire Straights Love Over gold
Alan Parsons I Robot
Grateful Dead American Beauty
Mike Oldfield Ommadawn
