Album suggestions

[Truktek2]

Ok, so after a 15 year bass playing hiatus, I went into my closet and pulled out my bass and amp and decided to start playing again. (only to drown out the screams of a 3 and 1 year old and to escape the realities of being an actual adult) I went through all my old albums (albums? am i showing my age?) And I found some great stuff that most bass players are into. Chili peppers, Marcus Miller, Jaco etc..., and since I need a little inspiration I wanted to know what are your 5 top bass albums that you could never part with? please respond quickly as I need to get to the record store before my wife starts rolling her eyes...( she suggested Bon Jovi by the way)

Off the top of my head, some albums with good bass presence:

Stanley Clarke- School Days
Faith No More- Angel Dust
King's X- Dogman
Tool- Lateralus
Mr. Bungle- Mr. Bungle

Sleep's "Holy Mountain".

Most of the bands I list you could pretty much pick out any album but here are a few of my personal faves. I am a rock guy so you are going to get mainly rock albums from me. They are all older albums but if it works it works.

Iron Maiden - 7th Son of a 7th Son - I love Maiden so almost any album by them but this album has very killer bass lines. IMO this is Maiden at its finest.

Red Hot Chili peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magic - earlier Peppers can find Flea even funkier but this album IMO is where the Peppers really started to define themselves

Rush - Different Stages - a live album from the 90s that includes a live show at the Hammersmith Odeon from the Farewell to Kings tour. The Farewell show is so raw sounding it's like you are there.

Motorhead - Ace of Spades - Lemmy plays almost like a rhythm guitarist so while he may not be complicated it's a different take on how to play bass

Black Sabbath - We Sold Our Souls for Rock 'N' Roll - Geezer

I know you asked for 5 but as a bonus:

Parliament - Mothership Connection - it's Bootsy Baby! Now I don't have funky bone in my body and couldn't play it to save my life but I love listening to Bootsy!
