First off, IMO, Greatest Hits CDs (and compilations of any sort) are cop-outs. If you're going to choose a greatest hits CD in your "Top 5 CDs", why not just make it a top 50 songs?
Personal opinions aside I'll stick to complete original albums and not compilations.
In no particular order:
Queen - Queen II
REM - Reckoning
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Beethoven's Last Night
For Squirrels - Example

I'm going to cheat here on two fronts:
First, as far as CD's I'd have to take the ones where the artist are personally known to me. Since John Obetz has three out that leaves two to go. Paulette Votava-Resch (my wife's voice teacher) has a solo CD out, so that leaves one to go. Last weekend I found out that Jan Krabill has a couple out. Then there all the CD's by the groups of the William Baker foundations. Bill is one heck of a conductor and teacher.
Second, why are we talking about CD's? Move everything to MP3 and cut to multi-layer DVD's. CD's are so last century.

I'd have to pick ( a second nod to Nick Cave here )..
Brainiac - Hissing Prigs in Static Couture
Roky Erickson - I Have Always Been Here Before (Anthology)
Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground
Nick Cave - The Best of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
Hawkwind - Space Ritual

Here's a mixed bag for you:
Green Day -- Bullet in a Bible
Elton John -- Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
Glenn Gould -- Goldberg Variations
Beethoven's 6th Symphony (many good recordings available)
Disney Classics Collection
I'd also bring my guitars and sheet music for all of the above. And, yes, some of those Disney songs are deceptively challenging for a guitarist!
February 9, 2007 at 8:55 am
AC/DC - pick any, but Back in Black #1
Metalica - Master of Puppets
Dixie Chicks - either one, like the new one the best
Gretchen Wilson - either
Helsinki Philarmonic playing Grieg
(yes I go everything from Classical to punk)

The Project Hate - Armageddon March Eternal
Ulver - Blood Inside
Soilent Green - Sewn Mouth Secrets
Arcturus - The Sham Mirrors
At The Gates - Slaughter of the Soul

I'd have to look at my CD colletion also (and I'd definitely cheat with MP3), but here goes by artist (these are mostly folk artist):
The Cutters (any album)
Lorena McKenna (Secrets or Elemental)
William Pint and Felicia Dale (White Horses is current fav, but any will do)
Alan Parsons Project (Robot, but Vulture Culture is good too)
Kat Eggleston (can't remember the album name, but again any would do)
