My collection of 70 plus STACKRIDGE cds (official & unofficial) would keep me constantly amused, entertained and musically satisfied - until I was eaten by cannibals or trampled by King Kong...

This is the most interesting variation of "who's your favourite band?" I've ever seen  Having thought about it a lot (and I take it I can't smuggle my 8gb MP3 player with lots of stuff?  ), I'll plump for Marillion (both versions), especially as I could not bear the thought of never hearing Neverland in my life aghain. It's just about the most perfect prog song ever written and performed. Blimey, though....the thought of no Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, Van De Graaf........................................................

It'd better be Rush. As for me..... TD is the easy choice. By which, I of course mean Team Dreater. (Robert had better read this.)

Not a bad choice.  Anyway, if I needed to pick one band, it would probably be Yes because... -decent size discography -variety of moods -they're just so damn awesome!!!

Maybe I'm too conventional but I would be hard hard pushed not to go with the Genesis discography......of course I would have to find a use for the post '76 releases and I am sure that they would be more use as signal mirrors to attract attention for passing ships.

This is too difficult...
Maybe Miles Davis just because of the ridiculously large size of his discography, with plenty of gems hidden in there.
Maybe Beethoven just because I love everything I've heard from him and I need to hear more classical music anyway.
Maybe Sonic Youth because they also have a large and fascinating discography with tons of gems. Plus I find it easier to listen to lots of rock music without moving to other genres than I do for jazz/classical.
I really don't know.

I can't choose so I'm GOING to smuggle my mp3 player, complete with a solar USB charger AND I'm going to steal Martinprog's lady too.
If all that failed it'd have to be Floyd for me 'cos:
Discography
Light and shade to match moods
I could surely include Gilmour's solo albums
But I bet listening to just one band for more than a day or so would drive all of us on PA so nuts we wouldn't know where we were by the end of the week. However, Martinprog's lady might help to keep me sane...

Okay, so thus far we have two MP3 players and a lady smuggled onto our island - any advances?

If stuck on an island, I would probably choose to listen to the complete works of Joseph Haydn. Check it out: the man wrote more than a hundred symphonies (more than half of which are superb), many dozens of sublime string quartets, some beautiful sonatas and concertos, a couple of gorgeous oratorios - and his operas aren't bad either. They'd keep you busy for months!
Although I probably love Mozart just as much, Mozart's music is just a tad too emotionally intense and too city-like. It would soon make me miss the bright lights, and the streets full of people. Haydn is earthier; perfectly suited to island life.
It goes without saying that no contemporary rock act even comes CLOSE. Sure, I could spend happy island mornings with the Soft Machine, Jethro Tull or Zappa, but after a couple of days such acts would inevitably start to pall. |
Yup, you are so right

Yep. The ship I'm wrecked from is carrying a huge consignment of Budweiser and Rioja and space debris has provided me with a huge working refrigerator.
Plus the ship's disco includes the entire outputs of KC, Sabbath, VddG and Genesis up to 1976. And the radio works but the dial's broken and stuck to Planet Rock.
