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

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!

Hopefully someone has a solar powered digital player or a bicycle to rig up a generator on this island or all is lost.  A turntable fashioned from dried horseshoe crab shells?  Gilligan!

Anyone remember the Twilight Zone episode where Burgess Meredith played a bookworm who survived a nuclear blast?  Left all alone in his glory amidst a building chock full of books he soon after broke his glasses and alas...was sooner in an indescribable hell. 

Envision this...you wash up on a deserted island and all that washes up on the shore after you is...

a ukulele. 

Have at it!

I would only take albums I hate, so that I'd not get sick of music I actually liked!

However, in the spirit of putting together a "best of" list.....

My list is based on moods, not sound quality or microgasmic dynamic detail or anything like that.

Peter Gabriel - Secret World (A cheat, since it's 2 disks)
Berlioz - Les Trojens - Colin Davis 1969 (Another cheat, 4 disks)
Nine Inch Nails - Downward Spiral
Nickelback - Best Of
Adele - 21

Best,


Erik

Obligny,

That scenario represents a wonderful opportunity to learn to play the Ukulele!
