It's difficult to narrow it down to 5, but if asked to destroy all of my albums but 5, I would choose:
Hunky Dory - David Bowie (ideally I would keep "Scary Monsters" as well).
Angel's Egg - Gong (again, ideally I'd take "You" as well).
Echoes, the Best of Pink Floyd - Pink Floyd (couldn't take just one album, so a best of would have to do. Note: I don't own "Echoes" ).
The Bends - Radiohead (the first album of theirs I got into, although others are nearly as good).
Apostrophe'/Overnite Sensation - Frank Zappa (a cheat, because it's two albums, but they were realeased on one CD).

This isn't really representative of my musical tastes as I like many different types including more modern, electronic stuff and death and black metal.
If I was allowed 3 more I would choose:
Locust Abortion Technician - Butthole Surfers (a classic).
Orb's Adventures in the Ultraworld - The Orb
Black Sabbath (a compilation taken from their first 6 albums).

Listen to Freyda Epstein and you will see why I consider her #1.
Totally unknown in most of the world and she got killed in a bizarre murder-suicide, the world lost a star for sure. She taught fiddle was a vocal coach also, she was a grandmaster of both. Bert Jansch made 'Lucky Thirteen' in the early 60's and it is still high on the list of infrappingcredi ...[text shortened]... ong and an incredible guitar opening) and others that would take twenty pages to explore.
I could only hear 30 second snippets of Mr Jansch. Night Swan and Needle of Death. Reminds me of Leonard Cohen but would have to hear more to much a of a feel for his music.

See http://www.backworld.com/ to find out about them.

I like their music because there is a nice mellow feeling in it, that makes me feel sad and happy simultaniously. It may not be your cup of tea though, but you might like it. I don't know. I personally like their album "Of Silver Sleep", but also their is a nice track called "Devil's plaything" in the album called "Album fom Pleasure Park". A present gentle vocal + accoustic guitar you may find.
