Five is a tiny number, and I'm sad to see some of my other favorite bands not make it in this list like Stereolab, Morphine, Johnny Cash, and Billie Holiday, but I'm sure we're limiting this to 5 so no one falls asleep at the computer.

Total Volume: 50 MB on my home computer that I asked Jonathan to make for me. I am a mp3 virgin *gasp*
