The usual disclaimers that it changes all the time, that picking just 5 is hard etc. So Im just going to genre-hop and pick some of my favorite albums.

Big Star- #1 Record/Radio City
Radiohead - Kid A
Emitt Rhodes- Emitt Rhodes (did it all bouncing to 4 tracks)
David Bowie- Ziggy Stardust
Keith Jarrett- Koln Concert
Gang of Four- Entertainment!


for all you Mars Volta cats, check out the Tremulant EP if you dont know it - I think its the best thing they ever put out.

john coltrane - olè coltrane
the smiths - the queen is dead
eric dolphy - out to lunch

oh shit, i need to add this:

burning spear - marcus garvey/garvey's ghost.
the drums on the dub side are too ill. if you don't know this and you like reggea of any kind, go get it.

i won't succumb to the urge to add loads more. at this moment.

One album I'd consider to be one of the best albums is Fugees - The Score.

Lots of excellent albums have already been mentioned here though.
