Top 5 Albums you would take to a desert isle.

Assume you have a solar powered cd player or something of the sort.

Still deciding and want to see what others think*

Something like this:

  • Supertramp - Crime Of The Century
  • Jean-Michel Jarre - The Concerts In China
  • Genesis - Foxtrot
  • Gentle Giant - Octopus
  • Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All
  • But I really can't decide...

    RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on!

    1. The Who- Quadrophenia
    2. Frank Zappa- Lather
    3. Marillion- La Gazza Ladra
    4. King Crimson- Red
    5. Rush- Different Stages

    Most of them are 2 disc affairs, and the live ones are because their is too much of the catalogue I'd miss... so why not have a bunch spread out?

    Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony
    Anything by Mozart(Except the Requiem mass- Too depressing)
    Jon Anderson- Olias of Sunhillow
    Yes- Tales from Topograghic oceans
    Robrt Fripp/Eno- Evening Star

    If I was stranded on an island, I would need music that would help me keep my mind! Do you really want "Red" to help you "stay sane" on a deserted isle?

    My desert island CD player isn't solar power- it's magical!
    On the local classic rock station there's a request show called Desert Island Discs

    1. The Soft Bulletin- The Flaming Lips
    2. Doolittle- The Pixies
    3. Clumsy- Our Lady Peace
    4. Purple- Stone Temple Pilots
    5. Nevermind- Nirvana

     

    I wouldn't take prog- it's too complex for a desert island- simple stuff is much better.
