I can't do this.  Even considering this for only a short time yields dozens of essentials.  Someone else will have to choose for me.

Paul, that is a real problem... you have to just use the first 5 that come to mind or it'll destroy you.

Letting the community at large choose for you is probably not the best plan ever....   I'm eying Nice Jough suspiciously here....

muse - time is runnning out
because it is the single most delicately-balanced-between-perfect-song-construction-and-incredible-monster-truck-rock song that has ever existed
the beatles - can't buy me love
because the enrgy of this song is utterly utterly incredible
aphex twin - windowlicker
because if you don't dance to this you can't have a soul
radiohead - 2+2=5
because the live version from glastonbury this year is the single most rock mp3 file in the universe (and because i was there)
r.e.m. - be mine
because it is a wonderful love song

honourable mention
sigur ros - poppalgid/the pop song/untitled 8
because it is honourable

NAIHF is my second favourite album of all-time (after the Smiths "The Queen is Dead") and is obviously the best R.E.M. album bar-none, as discussed in another thread.

I have that Glastonbury show on mp3, but I wasn't there.  Still, 2+2=5 is the best track from the new Radiohead album, as discussed in another thread.

also has added comedy value after someone pointed out that as the song spirals into rock madness, thom appears to be singing PENETRATION PENETRATION PENETRATION.

yes.

Yeah, that's not true, though.  Every album review says this, but they're wrong.  

The lyrics are "Payin' Attention" but I thought it was "penetration" when I first heard it too.

Didn't make it to Glastonberry, but did go to Radiohead tonight (posting in advance) and it was awesome.  Never thought he was singing "penetration" though.  Actually, didn't understand what he was saying so I looked at the lyric sheet.  Is that cheating?

~Paul

PS- to Andalucia.  I didn't pick a top five list because my first cursory list included one of Nice Jough's picks.  I like nice songs too.

I had an internet-gasm because "Be Mine" and NAiHF are just that good.

(Although Life's Rich Pageant may be better. But I do not want a flamewar; both albums are magnificent and I will love them both forever, so we don't have to fight.)
