2. Ten (10) (X) favored discs;

Has not the invention of MP3 players and portable solar panels made the concept of "desert island discs" obsolete? I mean, who the hell brings a CD player to the apocalypse?

So I just realized that the world is supposed to end on International Rush Day. Pretty cool, huh? That's what I thought this thread was going to be about, actually.
I will (maybe) come up with a list later when I don't have to write and edit things.

I love Symphonie Fantastique-i must have about 60 versions of it, my faves being Pierre Monteux-Paris Orchestra-1930 (the only recording with touchings taken down from Berlioz himself to conductor Eduard Colonne-sadly the written copy of this was destroyed in WW2-Monteux had it in his home, and he was part Jewish, so the Nazis did in his home) Otto Klemperer-Philharmonia Orchestra-1960s Bruno Walter -NY Philharmonic-1954
