Top 5 Albums and Top 5 Singles of all time

[Aytee]

What are your top 5 albums and top 5 singles of all time?

[factor-fiction]

There are so many and the lists change all the time as I rediscover older tracks I hadn't heard for a while.
Some combination of Northern Soul/ Indie Bands/ Pink Floyd/ Sex Pistols/Queen and 1970s glam

Albums for me are at the moment.
Bob Dylan, Highway 61 Revisited
Fleetwood Mac, Rumours
Beatles, Sgt Pepper
Springsteen, Born to Run
