3. Rush
4. Genesis

For June/July
The problem for me and probably a few other here. Cannot just put just 5 bands down, though I will keep adding to my list!...
-
Mike Oldfield (mainly because Taurus II is perfect to listen to at work; when I need to really concentrate I use it to zone out the noise my colleagues make)
Tori Amos (I am sort of rediscovering her through the "A piano" boxset)
Anne Clark (The Law is an anagram of Wealth is such a brilliant album; thank you, A.S., for playing it to me)
Alphaville (never would have bought the Forever Young album back then, but it is good)
assorted this and that.
Actually, if the question were "Which five albums?" most of my list would be audiobooks.

Alphaville (never would have bought the Forever Young album back then, but it is good)
I did buy it back then and it is brilliant, particularly the title track, a huge hit all over Europe bar the UK where it didn't chart, yet now it is frequently played on BBC Radio 2. I also got the follow up, Afternoons in Utopia, a concept album loosely based on Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Slight change in personnel and lots of guest musicians, but still very good.
Interesting titbit: The next album, The Breathtaking Blue, was the fist CD to have the lyrics buried in the CD subcodes, you needed a computer and a CD player with a subcode out (not just digital out) to see them!
