If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have ten albums to listen to (the island happens to have a 10-disc changer and a sweet listening room, no doubt), what would they be?
well, I am not going to go through the thought required to come up with to, but I can tell you that mozart would be a must.
In alphabetical order Bryan Ferry: In Your Mind Gentle Giant: Free Hand Sally Oldfield: Water Bearer Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon Renaissance: Novella Patti Smith: Radio Ethiopia Chris Squire: Fish Out of Water Strauss: Metamorphosen Vaughan Williams: The Lark Ascending. I suppose one of his symphonies will be on the CD as well, let's hope it's #9 Frank Zappa: Sheik Yerbouti
Bob Dylan: Desire Neil Young: Comes a Time Eric Clapton: Pilgrim The Doors: The Soft Parade Elvis Costello: Trust Rodriguez: After the Fact Carol King: Live in New York Lou Reed: Live in London Tom Waits: Nighthawks at the Diner Jimmy Hendrix: Electric Ladyland
Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon Bob Marley: Legend Fleetwood Mac: Tango in the Night Enya: The Best of Enya Billy Idol: Rebel Yell Beethoven's 5th Queen: Classic Queen Concrete Blonde: Bloodletting The Cult: Beyond Good and Evil Prince: Purple Rain It's hard to pick ten.
That's one kick ass island!! In no order... 1: Chemlab - Oxidizer Simply a stunning album. One of the unsung classics of the 21st century. 2: Acumen Nation - Lord of the Cynics A brilliant outcry against modern society that actually makes sense. None of this 'You must die' shit we're so used to. 3: Karmic Jera - Zombies, Blood and Go, Go Girls This album got me through secondary school and college. It will get me through this as well. 4: KMFDM - WWIII One of the better anti-Bush albums (the other being Houses of the Mole). 5: Will Smith - Willenium Okay, this is my deepest, darkest secret. I love this album. 6: Hate Dept. - Omnipresent Stunning album. Has some really catchy tracks. 7: DooM Official Sound Track Clint Mansell's (of Pop Will Eat Itself fame) coldwave masterpiece as well as what has to be simply the best NiN remix ever concieved by a human being. 8: CoLD SToRAGE - WipEout OST Simply brilliant electronica from a classic game. What else is there to argue about? 9: Italian Body Music Compilation Vol.1 Who could argue with a totally free album with some of the best Italian industrial acts around? I couldn't. 10: Dope Stars Inc. - Neuromance I consider this to be simply the best album released in 2005. DSIs debut album was a long time in the making but it delivered a lot more than it initially promised. Off to see them live in Italy soon! It's interesting to note that most albums picked by people so far aren't that recent Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
