Musical Inspiration

If your child asked you to name 5 albums that they should listen to in order to expand their musical knowledge and outlook which ones would it be?
 
Very hard this one bbb, got down to about a dozen after a while.
Getting it down to 5 proved even tougher.
Anyway in no particular order -

Exile on main street - Stones
Back in black - AC/DC
Ziggy Stardust - Bowie
Exodus - Bob Marley
Appetite for destruction - GnR

Should of had Dark side of the Moon really, but couldn't decide which one to leave out.
 
Bloody hell, impossible job, but I'd have to have
Pet Sounds-Beach Boys
Sgt Pepper- Beatles
Who's Next-The Who
Led Zeppelin 4
Velvet Underground and Nico 1st album
 
I’d have:
Exile on Main Street so they could be turned onto the blues
Something Else by The Kinks
An album by The Who, can’t decide which one.
Sgt Pepper
Nevermind the Bollocks
 
Have Twangy Guitar Will Travel - Duane Eddy
Live in Las Vegas - Sandy Nelson
More Hits - Dave Clark Five
Jazz At Massey Hall - The Quintet
Big Beat - Art Blakey, Max Roach, Jo Jones, Philly Joe Jones
 
Curtis Mayfield, Superfly
De La Soul, 3 Feet High & Rising
DJ Shadow, Endtroducing
Kraftwerk, Computer World
Stevie Wonder, Innervisions

As a bonus, let’s chuck in:

Beastie Boys, Paul's Boutique
The Roots, Things Fall Apart

Mainly with Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane and Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
