Your top 5 albums

[Fulham Road Lights]

I've just been thinking about mine, and I've come down to a good selection, which I think is true to the question.

In no particular order:

Tom Waits - 'Closing Time'
The Cure - 'Pornography'
Depeche Mode - 'Violator'
Talking Heads - 'Remain In Light'
The Smiths - 'The Smiths'

What's yours?

 

[yesitis]

maybe

belle and sebastian - if you're feeling sinister
the smiths - the queen is dead
talking heads - more songs about buildings and food
dead kennedys - fresh fruit for rotting vegetables
nick drake - five leaves left

or maybe 5 completely different albums.

Maybe. It's up to you. I'm only asking for whatever you feel at the time. I'm mainly trying to get a feel for the broader music tastes of the community here, besides simply Morrissey.
