For me, such a list would be less about picking my top 5 favorites and more about seeking variety from music I really like.

1. The Who
2. Pink Floyd
3. John Denver
4. London Symphony Orchestra
5. Temptations

[edro]

It can be tough, but I leaned towards picking 1 from my favorite genres.
While I love Alice in Chains, Sound Garden, Nirvana... I had to choose Pearl Jam.
While I love Pink Floyd, The Who, Rolling Stones... I had to choose Led Zeppelin.
etc.

I also needed something other than rock, so I chose MJ since he has a wide range of music and is generally more cheerful.

This exercise can also help you determine which albums to keep on your phone, in case you can't stream.
