"Island Albums"

[fourth_esper]

Yes, this is a weird situation that is never really bound to happen, but surely you've had to have heard this question.... If you were going to be marooned on an island, and you could only bring 15 cds/lps/cassettes/8-tracks/etc with you, what would you pick, assuming you'd have to listen to it for a while... (yeah, i know cds aren't generally high priority if you're about to be marooned or whatever ) my pics (in no particular order): ========================= -Close to the Edge (Yes) -Day for Night (Spock's Beard) -Phaedra (Tangerine Dream) -Signals (Rush) -Diver Down (Van Halen) -A Picture of Nectar (Phish) -Song for America (Kansas) -Fugazi (Marillion) -The Wall (Pink Floyd) -Foxtrot (Genesis) -Mad Shadows (Mott the Hoople) -Hysteria (Def Leppard) -Led Zeppelin 4 -Brain Salad Surgery (Emerson, Lake & Palmer) -The Joshua Tree (U2)
