5 is too hard...there's not a single Bowie disk in there....gawt darn!

 

[sandman]

Dokken - Back for the Attack
Lynch Mob - Wicked Sensation

Fear of a blank Planet is a great album, but I had to limit myself to 5! I could have easily thrown in any Saga album, any Emerson Lake & Palmer and the list could go on... Even some Van Der Graaf Generator...
