Stranded on a desert island/ 5 albums

[RFUS]

You're stranded on a desert island. A really crap, baren one. But you find a stereo and a mains output, naturally. Next to it, are five CDs. What CDs would you want them to be?



1.) No best of compilations, but live albums are okay.
2.) Only one album per artist.
3.) It isn't necessarily your top 5 albums, it's more the five you'd pick to cover all bases.



Pour moi;

Nirvana - MTV Unplugged in New York
At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command
Radiohead - OK Computer
Silversun Pickups - Carnavas
Rolo Tomassi - Cosmology

 

[Blue 1]

Spacemen 3 - The Perfect Prescription
The Congos - Heart of the Congos
Henryk Gorecki - Symphony No. 3
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
And for the 5th one I'd want one of my own techno mixes.

5 isn't that many really :-(


Probably.

 

[Hayee]

Severenth - ReVeal
Damageplan - New Found Power
Faith No More - The Real Thing
Machine Head - Supercharger
Murderdolls - Beyond The Valley Of The Murderdolls

 

[toe]

hunky dory - bowie
the smiths - singles
lou reed - transformer
beatles - white album
pink floyd - dark side of the moon
do i get electricity and a deck to play them on, or just get to look at the covers?

 

[toe]

sorry, just read i find an output, surreal on a dessert isle but, what the heck it'll do for me, gonna dance on that beach ALL night

 

[icburns]

Libertines - Up the Bracket
Ladytron - Velicifero
Betty Davis - Betty Davis
Neutral Milk Hotel - Aeroplane over the Sea
Kings of Leon - Because of the Times

 

[Baines' left foot]

Good question......

Bop - Clear your mind
Moby - Play
The Strokes - Is this it
A Tribe called quest - Midnight marauders
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV

Took me a few minutes that, bloody hard to pick 5.

 

[daza_1973]

Dark side of the moon - Floyd
Abbey Road - The Beatles
OK Computer - Radiohead
Oxygene - Jean Michel Jarre
Sumday - Grandaddy

 

[Baines' left foot]

Libertines - Up the Bracket
Ladytron - Velicifero
Betty Davis - Betty Davis
Neutral Milk Hotel - Aeroplane over the Sea
Kings of Leon - Because of the Times

I thought about the libertines too, but it would be the first album for me if i had to choose. Good choice with Kings of Leon, Albums 1, 2 and 3 and gold but the last 2 are a bit flat and meh..... dont even get me started on "sex on fire" though!

 

[spikeman]

Pink Floyd - Pulse [Live]
Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
Iron Maiden - Rock in Rio
Kid Cudi - Man on the Moon: The End of Day (Deluxe Edition)
Rush - Working Men

Jesus christ that was hard. I really, really wanted to bring Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden.

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

The Stone Roses
Joshua Tree
The The (wouldn't be fussed which)
Bob Marley- Legend
Best of Desert Island Discs.

 

[johnnydawg68]

U2 - The Joshua Tree
The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
Mew - Frengers
Guided By Voices - Alien Lanes

This REALLY hard. Ask me tomorrow and I may have a different list. I didn't put anything mellow on there. If I did it would be Roxy Music's "Avalon".

 

[RFUS]

Severenth - ReVeal
Damageplan - New Found Power
Faith No More - The Real Thing
Machine Head - Supercharger
Murderdolls - Beyond The Valley Of The Murderdolls

Brilliant albums.

Good question......

Bop - Clear your mind
Moby - Play
The Strokes - Is this it
A Tribe called quest - Midnight marauders
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV

Took me a few minutes that, bloody hard to pick 5.

That's kind of the point!

Oh and Led Zep IV is a brilliant inclusion. Tied with III as my favourite LZ album.

Libertines - Up the Bracket
Ladytron - Velicifero
Betty Davis - Betty Davis
Neutral Milk Hotel - Aeroplane over the Sea
Kings of Leon - Because of the Times

Fan-flipping-tastic shout that, mate

U2 - The Joshua Tree
The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
Mew - Frengers
Guided By Voices - Alien Lanes

This REALLY hard. Ask me tomorrow and I may have a different list. I didn't put anything mellow on there. If I did it would be Roxy Music's "Avalon".

Brilliant, mate. Frengers is probably tied with No More Stories as Mew's best work, for me. I'd say NMS pips it because of the whole backwards track thing, but yeah, they're criminally underexposed.

 

[Ezekiel]

smiths - hatful of hollow
pink floyd - dark side of the moon
echo & the bunnymen - crocs
my bloody valentine - loveless
jamie t - kings and queens

off the top of my head. and on reflection...............very depressing!

 

[johnnydawg68]

Libertines - Up the Bracket
Ladytron - Velicifero
Betty Davis - Betty Davis
Neutral Milk Hotel - Aeroplane over the Sea
Kings of Leon - Because of the Times

Merited serious consideration for me too.
