The OP's Zep bundle has Zep II with no Zep I and the self titled debut 'Elvis Presley' but not the follow up 'Elvis' from the same year.

 

R.E.M.
Chronic Town
Murmur
Reckoning
Fables Of The Reconstruction
Life’s Rich Pageant

 

Both are indeed good albums, but with only five spots to choose favorites, I had to make some tough decisions!

 

Lol didn't even realize you were the OP.
I just mean stylistically Zep I and II and Elvis Presley and Elvis go hand in hand for me

 

It is available almost that way :
Bandwagonesque
Grand Prix
Thirteen
Songs from Northern Britain
Howdy!


I love it from start to finish.

 

Nico

Chelsea Girl
The Marble Index
Desert Shore
The End
Drama of Exile

Five albums on five labels.

 

Beach Boys

15 Big Ones
Love You
MIU Album
LA Light Album
Keeping the Summer Alive

 

Randy Newman already has one of these sets, comprising his first five studio albums. This does miss out 'Randy Newman Live' but Warner/Reprise (or whichever huge conglomerate handles the W/R back catalogue these days) could bundle this with his final four albums for them before he left and recorded 'Bad Love' for Dreamworks to make a Vol.2 which might look something like this...



Live – Born Again – Trouble in Paradise – Land of Dreams – Faust.

Gap of about nine years between the first two albums there, but less jarring certainly that bundling the first Doobie Bros album together with a bunch of Michael McDonald era albums and one make-up-the-numbers live album which is what's on the Doobies OAS v.2.

 

I've noticed that rather than five albums by one artist or band, some of these contain one album by five artists or bands, with genre as the unifying theme. There's a 'Psychedelia' I've seen, and I think there are a couple of 'Krautrock' now. So with that in mind, here's a pair for maybe 20 years from now, that pander to my—I was going to say 'uncritical', but it's not quite that, you won't find any Jessie J records in any of these! —love of millennial dance/pop sung by gurls…
