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.

Red Rain - PG

Yes Anastasia - Tori Amos

It's "I forgot to scroll down to the very last entry in this thread and replied to an entry of almost antediluvial age". Innit obvious?
Let me make up for it with this one:
Raining Blood - Tori Amos
-
Disturbance at the heron house - R.E.M.
-
Urge the sailors on - Firth Of Fifth
-
Firecrackers - Lisa Loeb
-
Entangled or Mad Man Moon?
Entangled (because of the Maria Callas school of keyboard playing)
swimming in the lake or swimming in the pool?

I find I Can't Dance untypical for Genesis. There are very few layers of music, and I think the song was written just to take the mickey at that commercial for a certain brand of jeans - which is probably a first and a once-only in Genesis's catalogue.
The tricky thing is, perhaps, that Genesis have done a lot in different ways, so there is nothing that is "typical Genesis" ... except that it may be typical for Genesis songs that they are not typical Genesis songs, if you know what I mean (and I hope you do because I think I just got caught in a tight logical and grammatical tangle...).
