I have a feeling I have asked this before, but I would like to ask again just in case.

Tolkien stated that there were six towers altogether, but the two towers that the title would relate to were Orthanc and Cirith Ungol.
I do not know all six, and if I do, then I would like a list anyway, so I can check I had them right.
Also, could somebody please state their significance and/or role? If I know all the towers, then I may already have an idea, but again I would like to check. The significance of Orthanc and Cirith Ungol are already obvious, but I would like to know about the other four.
Thanks.
