If you could only keep 5 Lp vinyl which ones

1 thru 3 - Bach Cello Suites; Janos Starker; Mercury
4 - Malcolm Frager Plays Chopiin; Telarc
5 - Bach: 3 Sonata for Viola Da Gamba & Cembalo; Cervera & Puyan; Philips

Ricki Lee Jones Pop Pop
Stones Some Girls
Police Outlandous D'Amour
Pink Floyd Dark Side
Stevie Wonder Songs in the key of Life

OK, only if opera box sets count as one item:
Rossini: Barber of Seville
Carl Orff: Die Kluge
Miles Davis: Bitches Brew
George Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue/American in Paris
Dave Brubeck: Take Five
One might notice NO Rock in my 'desert island' five. I chose items I can listen to a zillion times and never tire of. I cannot say that about any Rock and Roll.
And my 'bonus' sixth Lp would be:
Debussy: Carol Rosenberger Playing Debussy selections (on Denon Label)
OK?

John Hiatt - Bring the Family
Dire Straits - either Debut album or Communique
Beatles - Abby Road
Van Morrison - Poetic Champions Compose
Jeff Beck - Blow by Blow

Okay, how about:

ELO - Out of the Blue
Neil Young - Live at Massey Hall
Radiohead - OK Computer
The Beatles - Abby Road
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
Nirvana - Unplugged in New York....

crap, that's six not five...
