So I've been tag'd by and need to mention my five favorite records. In no particular order:

Led Zeppelin - fourth nameless disc: When the Levee Breaks is my favorite Zeppelin song, really, and the rest of the tracks are great. Stairway to Heaven is a classic

Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam: just when everybody thought the bad had run out of energy, came this incredible, deep album full of energy and ideas.

Soda Stereo - Sueño Stereo: after the grunge touches of Dynamo, came this album that sounds like it is, the product of a more experienced band, that manages to play their songs with elegance.

The Parlor Mob - And You Were a Crow: awesome, awesome debut album. Incredible new band.

Shiina Ringo - Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana: Shiina is as insane as she is hot, and this album is mmindblowing.
