    Cardiacs - Sing To God
    Van Der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts
    Ulver - Blood Inside
    Mansun - Six
    North Sea Radio Orchestra - s/t

    The rest? I can't order them. I've also left quite a lot of things out.

    Talk Talk - Spirit Of Eden
    Wire - Send
    The Fall - Levitate
    Richard Dawson - Nothing Important
    Neurosis - Through Silver In Blood
    Autechre - Draft 7.30

    2. Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan
    3. In the Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson
    4. Ogden's Nut Gone Flake - Small Faces
    5. At Filmore East - The Allman Brothers Band

    It will change tomorrow!!

    And today's change:

    The Wall - Pink Floyd
    Revolver - The Beatles
    Music from Big Pink - The Band
    Dirt Farmer - Levon Helm
    Rrakala - Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu

    Drive time this morning also included 'Frampton Comes Alive' - Peter Frampton and Desire - Bob Dylan.

    As others have said, pretty much impossible to list just five. I could easily list the vast majority of The Rolling Stones studio albums and some live albums as well. Almost everything The Who have done and same with The Kinks and Small Faces.

    That album is excellent, his versions of Nolan Porter's If I Could Only Be Sure and Rose Royce's Wishing On A Star stand out for me.
