If you were stuck on a desert island for eternity and you could only listen to "One" album..what would it be? Personally I would go with Pink Floyd - The Darkside of the Moon.....its not my favorite album..but ive probably heard it more then any progressive album..and its still great, every song. |

If you are on the desert island , it is not one anymore. I hate desert islands lists Nude from Camel talks about a jap warmonger stuck on a desert island four some thirty years . Do you think he or Robinson Crusoe had fun on those islands???? No electricity to play your fave music. |

Maybe its just me, but I always wonder on these threads, how do you end up with only one cd? Anywhere I travel long enough to have any cds along with me, I always have a handful, you know, four or five at least. Did the others get broken or lost in a crash? Did the boat sink and you were only able to grab one? Did you have time to choose or did you grab the closest and start swimming? Anyway, Yes -TFTO Perhaps not their best, but I love it. It is also a very diverse offering and there are two cds and bonus tracks. If you get to choose, why not go for a bit of volume, as long as you enjoy it of course. I have loved this album since 74'. Why not a box set? That would be better. If a box set was within reach and I liked it, I think I would grab it and go. If this is really just searching for an all time favorite, that is really tough and it changes through time. I think I would pass on newer or current favorites and go with something that has demonstrated it can stand the test of time. Tales is still not a bad choice but I think I would go with Jethro Tull's TAAB. Good choice Jethro! -------------  Raymon

Now you're being silly. Everyone knows desert islands are full of treasure chests, noble savages, beautiful women and barbacues. You just have to go to the other side of the island. Someone there just has to have a CD-player. The only two things you never have on desert islands are music- and bookstores. Re K9 and RL
