Five Albums on a Deserted Island

[EersSkins05]

Sure, this has probably been debated before on these boards, but it's always fun.

So here's the situation... You're stranded on an island with a CD player, but you only remembered to bring a few CDs. You can never listen to another CD for the rest of of your foreseeable life. What are the FIVE (no honorable mentions- that's cheating) albums that you wish you had?

My list:

1) Pink Floyd- Dark Side of the Moon
2) Bruce Springsteen- Nebraska
3) Oasis- Don't Believe the Truth (an album that nobody has or respects, but is absolutely incredible)
4) Smashing Pumpkins- Siamese Dream
5) Counting Crows- August and Everything After (just means something to me for the time of my life that it happens to represent)

[Spaceman Spiff]

iPod, ***** ;)

[sk1nzHEAD]

thats a good list but your missing american beauty!!!

[EersSkins05]

thats a good list but your missing american beauty!!!

I prefer Workingman's Dead anyway. ;)

Dragonforce- sonic firestorm
Yngwie Malmsteen- alchemy
rhapsody of fire- power of the dragonflame
galneryus- advanced to the fall
and for something nice and happy
Herb Alpert- the definitive album

My list would never cover enough, but it's always fun to do.


1. Making Movies--Dire Straits
2. The King James Version--Harry James
3. Madman Across the Water--Elton John
4. Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol I
5. Mozart: Symphonies Nos. 35-41--

Songs in the Key of Life - Stevie Wonder
Reggae Valley Of Decision - Alton Ellis (can't be on an island w/o some reggae)




Pink Floyd is cool but you figure that you'd lose your mind sooner by listening to it.

[borninblood]

In no real order....

Chicago > Chicago 17
Metallica > Kill 'Em All
Johnny Cash > Ring of Fire: The Best of Johnny Cash
Clutch > Clutch
Black Sabbath > Black Sabbath

August and Everything After is one of my all-time favorites. Murder of One is my favorite track. I haven't compiled a list, but Bob Marley's Legend and Natural Mystic would be on it.

[Brave]

5 - Radiohead: OK Computer
4 - Red Hot Chili Peppers: Californication
3 - Fleetwood Mac: Rumours
2 - Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon
1 - Marillion: Marbles

[Burgold]

You see, I think that a contrarian view is probably needed here. If I'm on a deserted Island with no hope of escape, and only have 5 cd's to succor me, than I might want the five cd's that would drive me the most insane. After all, it would be better to be delusional and irrational, if alone and bereft eternally on a Desert Island.

With that in mind:

Napolean V's They're Coming o Take Me Away Ha Ha
Yoko Ono's Greatest Hits
William Shatner's Greatest Love Songs
Sound Effects Vol 6
David Bowie We Can Dance

[codeorama]

Tool-Ænima
Tool-10,000 Days
Rush-Moving Pictures
Van Halen-Fair Warning
Led Zeppelin-Houses of the Holy

[headexplode]

In no particular order:

Fugazi- End Hits
Modest Mouse-Lonesome Crowded West
Modest Mouse-The Moon and Antarctica
The Roots-Things Fall Apart
Radiohead-Kid A

[redskins2redskins]

1.The Very Best Of KC and the Sunshine band
2. Eagles Greatest Hits 1971-1975
3.Either AC/DC Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap or AC/DC Highway to Hell
4.Bee Gees Greatest Hits
5.hmmm......I'll get back to ya:) .....I can't make up my mind.:doh:

[d0ublestr0ker0ll]

Tool-Ænima

[rincewind]

Let's see... Today I would say:

[codeorama]

Permanant Waves rocks :cheers: ...

[Dan T.]

August and Everything After is one of my all-time favorites. Murder of One is my favorite track. I haven't compiled a list, but Bob Marley's Legend and Natural Mystic would be on it.


I thought "August and Everything After" should have been on that Rock and Roll Hall of Fame list of "The Essential 200" albums of all time. It's a really, really good album.

[jrockster21]

Tool - 10,000 Days (their best effort, IMO)
Zepplin - Houses of the Holy
Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Bob Marley - Sun is Shining
Notorious B.I.G. - Ready to Die OR Outkast - Aquemeni (tough choice)

[jrockster21]

2. Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (Flaming Lips)

Ah, ya beat me!! :laugh:

[81+83+84=Posse]

Clutch - Elephant Riders
Clutch - Blast Tyrant
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
Corrosion of Conformity - Deliverance
Megadeth - Rust in Peace

[chascougs]

Nice call on Pet Sounds



Rubber Soul-Beatles



Fables of the Reconstruction-REM



Moondance-Van Morrison



Katie Lied-Steely Dan



Ninth Symphony-Beethoven (if you're not moved by this, you have no soul)



bonus Nevermind-Nirvana

[Spaceman Spiff]

Man, this is really hard...and it could change daily....

Hendrix- Electric Ladyland. Though any Hendrix would do.
Metallica- Kill 'em All. Though anything pre black album including the black album would do.
Sublime- 40 Oz to Freedom
Led Zeppelin - III
Snoop Doggy Dogg- Doggystyle

[jrockster21]

Sublime- 40 Oz to Freedom

Crap...nice call on Sublime. Dammit! 5 CDs is just not enough. :)


Led Zeppelin - III

I love Zeppelin - they are so good, you could just grab a Zepp CD at random and it would kick ass. Of course HoH is the best by far. :silly:

[rincewind]

Crap...nice call on Sublime. Dammit! 5 CDs is just not enough. :)



Yeah, I was about to compliment him on 40oz. also. Definitely a good island album.


Good call, Spiff. :cheers:

[Spaceman Spiff]

Good call, Spiff. :cheers:

Hey, thanks.

Again, thats a band you just really can't lose with whatever CD you pick. I think 40 Oz beats their self titled cd, but not by much. "Stand by your van" is also a good live compilation of their stuff.

[Raub]

Pretty tough call....do box sets count as one? :)

Avail - 4am Friday
Hendrix - Axis:Bold as Love
Chili Peppers - By the Way
Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
Hellacopters - Strikes Like Lightning



Funny, I basically unwittingly did this experiment already. When I deployed to Desert Storm I grabbed a walkman and 4 cassettes at random. I was stuck listening to Black Crowes, Zeppelin IV, Eagles Greatest Hits, and Faith No More for 7 months. None of the albums was bad....but I still have trouble listening to them. :laugh:

[Prosperity]

Ah, ya beat me!! :laugh:

you can have Soft Bulletin

[Jumbo]

Jane's Addiction- Nothings Shocking
Beach Boys- Pet Sounds
Metallica- Kill em All
KISS- Alive
Dead Kennedy's- Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables


Another thing cool about a thread like this is it can remind you of music you haven't played in awhile and need to hear. Minus the KISS & Metallica, BK just hit on three old faves of mine that I will crank up this weekend. :)

[halter91]

Tool 10,000 Days
Mettalica-Ride the Lightning
Live-Throwing Copper
Soundtrack for Remember the Titans
Godsmack-IV

[phishhead]

Phish - Story of the Ghost
Dead Prez - Lets Get Free
Woody Guthrie - Dust Bowl Ballads
Earth Crisis - Destroy The Machines
The Decemberists - Picaresque

Try to keep it as wide ranging as possible.

[rincewind]

Phish - Story of the Ghost




Really? I just listened to it the other night and was suprised by how much I no longer like it. If I brought a studio Phish album it would be Hoist.

[phishhead]

Different tastes I guess, although IMO you can't go wrong with either album. The first Phish album I heard was Story, so maybe thats why I generally consider it my favorite. That, and because Guyute will make your face melt. :)

Good points. I like 'Ghost', 'Meat', 'Wading in the Velvet Sea', and 'The Moma Dance'. :cheers:

[IONTOP]

1) The Killers - Hot Fuss
2) Faith No More - Who cares a lot (Disc 1)
3) Stroke 9 - Cafe Cuts
4) Maroon 5 - Songs About Jane
5) Eve 6 - Horrorscope


Wow too many...

[SkinsOrlando]

3) Oasis- Don't Believe the Truth (an album that nobody has or respects, but is absolutely incredible)


I have that album, it is an excellent album, not one I'd choose though.


1. Master of Puppets - Metallica
2. Countdown to Extinction - Megadeth
3. Sgt Peppers - The Beatles
4. Best of Tom Petty
5. Best of CCR

[mboyd784]

Rust in Peace - Megadeth
Deja Vu - Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
Ready to Die - Notorious B.I.G.
Led Zeppelin I - Led Zeppelin
Dazed & Confused - Movie Soundtrack

A strong five.

[mboyd784]

Metal:
Judas Priest - Unleashed in the East...invented the stuff
Strapping Young Lad - City...welcome to the future, it's heavy!!
Nevermore - Dreaming Neon Black...The Shining for your ears
Black Sabbath - Sabotage...the best album ever?
Megadeth - Rust in Peace...the trashingest ever

Non-Metal:
Public Enemy - Nation of Millions...the deepest funk, the hardest rhymes
Black Crowes - Amorica...THE rock album of the last 20 years
Led Zep - Physical Graffiti...godly
Pink Floyd - Animals...the best guitar playing I've ever heard
Fiona Apple - When the Pawn...pure pop perfection

I could easily name 20 more of each...

[TheDoyler23]

System of a Down - System of a Down
MetallicA - Ride the Lightning
MetallicA - Load
Drowning Pool - Sinner
Disturbed - Believe

[Enter Apotheosis]

Tool - 10,000 Days
Nirvana - In Utero
RAtM - Rage Against the Machine
Alice In Chains - Facelift
Muse - Absolution

... you can ask me again in 5 minutes and that list will be different, guaranteed. I'd need at least 5 more options to be at all consistent in my choices.

[Metalhead]

AcDc - Back in Black
Carcass - Heartwork
The Beatles - The White Album
Nasum - Human 2.0
Faith No More - The Real Thing

[MondayNightCowboyKilla89]

I'd have to say:

1. Led Zepplin- Houses of the Holy (I know cliche, but so good)
2. Incubus- Morning View (Incubus is perfect if you realize you no longer have hope because probably would keep me the happiest as long as possible)
3. Nas- Illmatic
4. Jay-Z - Rasonable Doubt
5. Fleetwood Mac- The Dance

[desioreo87]

My 5 would be:

Coheed and Cambria* - The Amory Wars
Coheed and Cambria - The Second Stage Turbine Blade
Coheed and CAmbria - In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3
Coheed and Cambria - Good Apollo, Im Burning Star IV: Volume I: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness
Coheed and Cambria* - Good Apollo, Im Burning Star IV: Volume II

These two albums havent even been made yet and I already know that they will be amazing. Plus these 5 albums put together tell a complete saga and therefore they need to be kept together. Good apollo II comes out this summer, can't wait. But yeah that is my 5

[Pete]

Wow this is a tough one :rolleyes:

American Beauty........... Grateful Dead
Terrapin Station................ Grateful Dead
Grateful Dead...................... Grateful Dead
Working mans dead................... Grateful Dead
Skeletons and roses...................... Grateful Dead

:cheers:

[Pete]

What no Shakedown Street?

Hey, he said only five, Shakedown Street would come in at 10. Gotta have Mars Hotel, Aoxomoxoa, Blues for Allah, and Europe 72.

[The Brave Little Toaster Oven]

Ok, this is tough, but I'm going to go with:

1. Hanson - Middle of Nowhere - MMMBop on repeat

2. Spice Girls - Spice

3. *Nsync - No Strings Attached - Bye,Bye,Bye on repeat

4. Backstreet Boys - Millennium

and for my final CD....


5. Aqua - Aquarium - Barbie Girl on non-stop

This mix alone should have me rescued in a matter of minutes. :laugh:

[phishhead]

Just say no to "disco dead" :laugh:

Well, you can't go wrong with that cd either. "A Small Victory" and "Easy" are damn-near essential on their own. It was basically The Real Thing or Who Cares A Lot....tough decision.

[The Sir]

Off the top of my head

Common Sense - Resurrection
BDP - Criminal Minded
Black Star - Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Black Star
Stevie Wonder - is it cheating to say greatest hits? If it is, then toss up between innervisions and songs in the key of life.
Michael Jackson - Thriller

There's lots of others that could have been in the five, it's not really a clearcut top 5 or anything

[ECU-ALUM]

1) Born in the U.S.A--Bruce Springsteen
2) 1-- The Beatles
3) Greatest hits Vol. 2-- The Eagles
4) Come on Come on-- Mary Chapin Carpenter
5) Rumors-- Fleetwood Mac

[Mr. Buggles]

So many choices... so few selections...

1) Jay-z - The blueprint
2) Jill Scott- Who is Jill Scott
3) The Roots- Roots come alive (Ill probably be hallucinating from starvation and dehydration, so might as well feel like im at the illest show to ever come to stage)
4) Outkast - Aquemeni
5) Goodie Mob - Soul Food

[GoSkinsGo]

For an all Metal

Rust in Peace - Megadeth
Sound of White Noise - Anthrax
Cowboys from Hell - Pantera
Screaming for Vengeance - Judas Priest
South of Heaven - Slayer

[Kevin101]

Wu-Tang Clan-Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers)
GZA-Liquid Swords
Raekwon-Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
Method Man-Tical
Wu-Tang Clan-Wu Tang Forever


Where are my hip hop heads at??????

[DOOG]

[Reic]

Almost There- Mercy Me
Undone- Mercy Me
See the Morning - Chris Tomlin

[redskin81]

1. Led Zeppelin 1 (or any greatest hits)

[Renesis]

Tool - Lateralus
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

Very nice choices :applause:

[Temple]

1. Lateralus (Tool)
2. Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (Flaming Lips)
3. Hail to the Thief (Radiohead)
4. Amnesiac (Radiohead)
5. Aeroplane Over the Sea (Neutral Milk Hotel)

Great list, Liberty! Dude, I remember telling you about Aeroplane a few months back in your "Recommend me some bands..." thread--it's awesome to see that you like it! :D


I'd have to go:
1. Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
2. Radiohead - Amnesiac (picking this over their other albums based on "You And Whose Army?" and "Life In A Glass House" alone)
3. Tool - Aenima
4. Sigur Rós - Ágætis Byrjun
5. Funkadelic - Maggot Brain

*edit: I know it's against the rules of the thread, but my conscience won't allow me not to mention Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot as my imaginary number six. That is all. :)

[d0ublestr0ker0ll]

I'd have to say:

1. Led Zepplin- Houses of the Holy (I know cliche, but so good)

I'm actually very suprised "Houses of the Holy" is being chosen over all the other Zep albums. I'd take Zep 1, 2, 4, Physical Graffiti, and In Through the Out Door over it. Not saying "Houses of the Holy" isn't good, it just isn't much compared to the others I mentioned, in my opinion.

[daddys little skins fan]

Sneaker Pimps - Becoming Ex
Jimi Hendrix - Experience Hendrix
Say Anything - ...Is a Real Boy
Gym Class Heroes - As Cruel As School Children
Nirvana - Nevermind


...kinda random.

[mdrun]

Widespread Panic "Panic in the Streets"
Steely Dan "Aja"
Robert Earl Keen "The Party Never Ends"
Drive By Truckers "Southern Rock Opera"
Bob Dylan "Blood on the Tracks"

[Coolio47]

Hootie and the Blowfish - Cracked Rear View
Used to listen to them growing up in the 90's and somehow forgot about them until Pandora radio played a song by them, reminding me why I listened to them so much.

The Allman Brothers Band - Stand Back: The Anthology
What needs to be said here? It's the Allman Brothers. If not Anthology, I would go for Eat a Peach here.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication
I could easily swap with any one of their albums, as I always have a hard time deciding which one I love the most. I'd be happy with any of their albums.

Dave Matthews Band - Under the Table and Dreaming
I simply enjoy this band and the way they sound.


Counting Crows - August and Everything After
I like this band just about as much as Hootie and the Blowfish, and chose this album because it's one that I've listened to the most (although I think their song Colorblind is underrated.)


Honestly, I listen to a very wide variety of music, and could have put albums by bands like Pink Floyd, Nirvana, etc. on there but if I am going to be on a desert island with just 5 albums, I want music that will make me the most comfortable and happy.
