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


But there is a world class system there for your use.  Leaving many favorites behind but I must have:

Yes - Close to the Edge
Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet
Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs
Neil Young - Everybody Knows this is Nowhere
John Lee Hooker - Mr. Lucky

I play Uriah Heep "Demons and Wizards" much more often than Led Zeppelin, Yes, or even the Stones. Tie with Deep Purple: given a choice of July Morning or Smoke on the Water I would probably die like Buridan's ass even before getting to the Island

Must admit that after playing "Brothers in Arms" gazillion times, I cannot take it no more! I choose "Love over Gold", it is still in constant rotation on my Sondek.

"Dark Side of the Moog" series by Pete Namlook and KS should look nice next to Lustmord and Steve Roach

Peter Nooten and Michael Brook: "Sleeps with the Fishes" - as stunning as Meddle, even on the millionth listen

Clan of Xymox: 1st s/t album and/or Medusa to be placed next to "Sleeps With the Fishes"

Electric Orange - recommended for Pink Floyd fans by one of HiFi+ editors. Am I glad that I subscribed to this Brits journal (here it disappears from the stands in a day!), otherwise I could have missed this band. Electric Orange self-ttitled and also Cyberdelic or at least Orange Commutation is a Must-Have!!... Their one cover tune, "Careful with that ax, Eugene" is how it should have been done in the first place. Always strange but recognizable electronic/rock. Tough to file, maybe next to Kraftwerk, but since I cannot stand Kraftwerk it goes next to Tangerine Dream, PF, Magma, Gong, Mum, Orb. For those who think that after listening to TD, Klaus Schulze, Lustmord, Namlook and Shonwalder there is no more surprises there, just listen to a 66min drone of "Cows Don't Dream at Night".

Sisters of Mercy: Floodland to wake you up and to get some musical viruses in your brain ;-)

Orb - Live 93    



Oh God Do I love this thread! Only five...

Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms

Thriller - Michael Jackson
Purple Rain - Prince
Peace and Love - Tommy Sims

PacMan,

Your selections bark up a very different tree than mine, but Tony, Toni, Tone is a great dark horse choice.  I'd probably choose "Sons of Soul", but "House" is an excellent album, too.  Raphael Saadiq is a generally overlooked talent, IMO.
Romantic Warrior-Return to Forever
4 Way Street-CSN&Y
The Old Kit Bag-Richard Thompson
Bizet Symphony In C-Stokowski/National Philharmonic Orchestra
Spirit-Earth, Windows and Fire
