In the halcyon days of my youth (last year) i had myself a show on college radio called the regression sessions...on said show i would have a guest in each week who would pick five albums with which they would be utterly lost without and would then sunsequently play one song from that album...the BBC obviously got there first but meh!

At risk of commiting the newbie error and rehashing an old post, what would the five records you simply cannot live without be?

I appreciate Five is difficult...bear in mind it was initially intended to be a segment on a radio show and thus had little scope for more!

For me?

Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister
Stars - Set Yourself On Fire
Radiohead - OK Computer
Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake It's Morning
Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism

plenty of absences there but thats the price you pay with only 5 records!
