Your Desert Island CD

[Hueij]

Hueij - no problem buddy!
Personally, I like Bob Marley, but I get tired of him way too easily...

Thanks

But tired of Bob Marley???? Anyways, I'd need at least 20 islands to take all my Beatle albums with me

[Zopperoni]

Kruder & Dorfmeister - K&D Sessions

It's a double-CD, but if I'm only allowed to take one of the two, I'll take CD1.

[monolith94]

Ha, true true.
Now that I think about it, all I'd have to do is take my ipod with me! All I'd need is an outlet on that solar-powered cd player thingy.

[Ben Kenobi]

Simon and Garfunkel's greatest hits.

Great thread Boris!

[molly bloom]

Harold Budd: The Pavilion of Dreams

At the moment...

[Grrr]

We are all making a rather large assumption that we have SPEAKERS for this CD player aren't we?

[Sheik]

The Clash - London Calling, or the Beatle's "White Album"

I would get sick of London Calling after about 3 times but the Beatles White Album wouldn't be that bad.


My second choice would probably be a Bruce Springsteen CD.

There is no talk about restrictions on bringing our own speakers either

I split it up into different categories. On The Beach... would probably be my choice given only one.

Album: The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society (1968), or for better island appropriateness, On The Beach With The Paragons (1967).

Compilation: The Very Best of Sam and Dave or Smokey Robinson and the Miracles: The Ultimate Collection or for variety, er, I've got no idea. I don't buy many variety compilations. I'll have to research this one!

Box Set (2 CDs): Tricky category. I've got decent Robert Johnson, Sam and Dave and Hank Williams 2CD Boxes, the Trojan compilation Young, Gifted and Black looks okay though too seventies-focussed, can I go for a 2 CD album? In that case, either Sandinista! by The Clash or Ghetto Dictionary by Bounty Killer.

Box Set (3 CDs): Trojan Rocksteady Box Set, unquestionably.

Box Set (4 CDs): The Stax Story or Nuggets or Phil Spector Back To Mono

Box Set (Unlimited CDs): The Complete Stax/Volt Singles, 1959-1968 (9 CDs) or more likely Trojan Box Set: A Jamaican Story (30 CDs)

[Al B. Sure!]

Do double cds count as albums or not? They were originally released as one album but came on two cds?

[Asher]

Compilation: The Very Best of Sam and Dave or Smokey Robinson and the Miracles: The Ultimate Collection or for variety, er, I've got no idea. I don't buy many variety compilations. I'll have to research this one!

I concur with Snapcase, either of these albums would suffice to drive me to suicide and put me out of my misery when I'm stranded on a desert island...

hmmmm

I have to say Tool - Aenima.

Runners up would be Metallica- And Justice for All. Tool- Undertow, Tool- Lateralus, Metallica- black album, Iron Maiden- Somwhere in Time, Pink Floyd- The Wall,

[Dis]

I just thought of Box sets.

I would choose Metallica's live ****! binge and purge. The audio CD's are in 1 cd case so that counts as 1 cd

Or Led Zeppelin's box set

[Caesar the Great]

as much as it hurts me to say it... Beatles 1 probably

[Tuberski]

The best of The Replacements

ACK!
