in not order at all:
 
 Husker Du - Zen Arcade
 Love - Forever Changes
 Zombies - Odessey and Oracle
 Radiohead - OK Computer
 Replacements - Let it Be
 
 On any given day I might answer this differently, but at least 2 or 3 of those would always show up.

 2) The Pixies -- Doolittle
 3) Elliott Smith -- Figure 8
 4) PJ Harvey -- Rid of Me
 5) Husker Du -- Warehouse: Songs and Stories
 
 but I really could list about 25, 30 records.
