I am suprised Piton Ron didn't include this one:
Monkeyfinger in Zion
six pitches of mostly liebacking plus an amazing slitter in the face.

SO, a bit shallow to call a corner.

Oops.
Just saw I misread the title; thought it was top five pitch corners.

Today I had fun on Bloody Bush and Wrist at the Gunks. Red Pillar, P2 of Classic, and Horseman have interesting corners, too.
But they don't compare to the corners shown.

there are some good suggestions scattered above, and i haven't climbed all of them (yet), but here are 5 great corners that i didn't see anywhere up there:
slot machine, resivoir wall, IC
kool cat, cat wall, IC (chosing that one because i'm not certain, is king cat a corner or a roof?)
the linkable pitches of rock on, squamish (is it P4&P5? maybe not top 5, but really cool)
new dimensions, linking the final 2 pitches, arch rock, YV
midterm, arch rock (it is a corner before you slide inside her)
again, not necesarily my top 5, but 5 worth being included in this thread.
btw- anyone from anywhere who doesn't include the fox @ RR in their top 5 has simply never climbed it, and saying, "so-and-so-corner looks cool", that doesn't count for shite.

Some of my favs seem to be like so many others,
OZ
The Good Book
Course and Buggy
and about 50 different places on El Cap, like this one.
sorry about the black sides, but photobucket is doing weird things. I deleted it, cropped, saved and re-loaded it and it still is showing the letterbox, hmmmm

The most recent issue of one of the mags (Climbing or R&I, I forget which) had a feature on the South Face of Half Dome, showing a free ascent of the obvious big corner. Looked like pretty amazing climbing, although there were a lot of picthes of 12 and 13, so probably out of reach for most of us here.

The corner to climb on Tahquitz Rock is The Green Arch.
The corner to climb in Josh is 29 Palms (other than certain boulder problems..)
Tobin's Dihedral, at Dome rock is another oversight on this thread so far.
Gorilla Warfare, in The Needles. Hoah!!
