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

Is there weed on this desert island? If so:

Roxy Music's first (or second) 
Captain Beefhearts Brown Paper Wrapper
Grateful Deads Reckoning
King Crimsons Red
Wilco's live box set (because I spent so much money on it)

If only single malt scotch on this island... I suppose the list would be the same except I'd switch out Roxy Music with a T-Bone Burnett album, probably Truth Decay.

If none of the above is on the island (gasp), I'd have to take a lot more music so I wouldn't have to think about the fact that I was on a desert island.  

Boxer12, we should request that amp with tubes the size of a bottle to put together a distillery from fermented coconut milk ;-) 
Cannot find that amp though, i think i saw its photo in Hi-Fi+ once

Terry9.....I bet you'd love the soundtrack 1492 by Vangelus.  I have this on CD and declare it the best recorded record I have.  Not only is the sound wonderful, but the music is absolutely captivating.

I concur... I have all early Vangelis albums and 1492 is my favorite also! By the emotional impact it is similar to Jean Michel Jarre "Redez-Vous" which was Jarre's requiem for a friend he lost when Challenger crashed

boxer12, from your "how to prepare for a record show"  post,  to now, making (weed) a priority to your ultimate future on a desert island... why don't we know each other? Just kidding.  WOwww...wooowwwOWW!
