So you're on a desert island, and you can only listen to 5 CDs until you're rescued. Which 5 do you pick?

I pick:

Peter Wolf - Midnight Souvenirs
David Bowie - Heathen
The Derek Trucks Band - Songlines
John Legend & the Roots - Wake Up
Tab Benoit - Night Train To Nashville
 

Shadoe

Sage
Aerosmith - Get a Grip
Everclear - So Much For The Afterglow
Voltaire - Almost Human or Ooky Spooky
Andrews Sisters - Collectors Series
Beach Boys - Good Vibrations

And then I would agonize over the stuff I missed.
 
So Much for the Afterglow is a great album. Only 5? That's so hard. I guess I would have to go with:

Silent Steeples- Dispatch
Bang Bang remastered- Dispatch
Us Against the Crown- State Radio
either Changes in the Weather or Walk Softly- Barefoot Truth
The Marshall Mathers LP- Eminem

There are so many others though... why couldn't we do ten haha... or 50 for that matter. So hard to choose

Thalian:

Nice choice with Still Life. Great album. You might check out Sudden Death Syndrome, by the band Bilocate (from Amman, Jordan).

A list is difficult to choose and mine would change from time to time. Right now it be:

1. Opeth - Morningrise
2. A Fine Frenzy (Alison Sudol) - One Cell in the Sea
3. Iron Maiden - Killers
4. Ani DiFranco - Imperfectly
5. David Bowie - Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

Always tough to pick 5. I have so many CDs!
