Hard to pick 5 but I'll add a general context that these were all popping for me in my mid-late 20s which I consider to be my apex as a music listener/goer and an era of some great times and real personal growth.

Neil Young-Comes A Time
Bob Dylan-Blonde on Blonde
Tom Waits-Nighthawks at the Diner
Wilco-Being There
M. Ward- Post War

Others that could make it:
Megafaun-Gather Form and Fly
Bon Iver-For Emma
Ryan Adams-Jacksonville City Nights
Andrew Bird-Armchair Apocrypha
Wilco- Sky Blue Sky

Parts Unknown
The Beatles-Abbey Road
The Church-Starfish
The Replacements-Don't Tell A Soul
Roxy Music-Avalon
Sugar-Copper Blue

Honorable Mention
The Sundays-Reading Writing and Arithmetic
REM-Murmur
Paul Westerberg (Replacments) -Eventually.
XTC-Skylarking

Sugar was one hell of a band and Copper Blue still holds up today
