Rick,

That is mean. Why can't I have 5 artists, or 5 GB of songs?  :P

I'll have to think about this for a bit before answering.

First artist (don't know which album yet - perhaps a mix of 15 favorite songs): Eva Cassidy

Miles Davis Bitches Brew (and if I can cheat, the extended version on four CDs.)
Beethoven piano sonatas (Rubinstein, Moonlight, Pathetique, Apassionata, Les Adieux on one CD)
Rossini opera Barber of Seville
Beethoven Symphony 4 and 7
Mozart opera Marriage of Figaro

I could live with no other music for.. say ten years and be OK.
