You can only take 5 albums to a deserted Island...

The Band ~ Music From Big Pink
Los Lobos ~ Kiko
The Velvet Underground ~ Loaded
Steely Dan ~ Katy Lied
Charles Mingus ~ Mingus Ah Um

The Verve, Storm in Heaven
Roxy Music, Avalon
Duran Duran, Rio
Tycho, Dive
Bluetech, Elementary Particles 

The-Dream: Love/Hate
Tears For Fears: Songs From The Big Chair
Joni Mitchell: Blue
Jack Johnson: Sleep Through The Static
Miles Davis: Kind of Blue


p.s. picking 5 for any music lover should induce a cringe - only 5?? Deserted island? How lucky we are that we're NOT actually on a deserted island! (no offense to the two Audiogon'ers that actually are on a deserted island).

Thanks for your list!
You are gonna save me some research.

In order to live with myself I chose an album from each decade starting in the 60’s

1. Beatles abbey rd
2. Pink Floyd wish you were here
3. U2 Joshua tree
4. Radiohead - OK computer
5. Led zep II

I know 2 (led zep and Beatles)are in 60’s but my rules and by luck I find a buried treasure of r.e.m. document and the replacements -pleased to meet me. With dreams of rolling stones on the beach and (the) who will find me but none other the police in (the) cars
