Hey folks. . .here is the question that is a great icebreaker with a new musician (or on a first date) for that matter. . .
If you were trapped on a desert island with a CD player and only 10 cd's, what would they be. . .
Let's, just for the sake of argument, that you could not have any "Greatest Hits" albums. . .we are looking at an album as a unit. . .
Live Albums are included, and this is NOT columbia house. . ."The Wall" does not count as two slots.

1. The Pilfers - S/T
2. The Pilfers - Chawalaleng
3. Ani DiFranco - Living In Clip
4. Dispatch - Silent Steeples
5. Dispatch - Bang Bang
6. G. Love and Special Sauce - Philadelphonic
7. Dave Matthews Band - Live at Red Rocks
8. Minor Threat - Complete Discography
9. H20 - F.T.T.W.
10. John Coltrane - Giant Steps
I had to rul eout a lot, because they were greatest hits type dealys...such as Bob Marley and the Wailers - Legend...and Experience Hendrix...I let Minor Threat stay in because it isn't a greatest hit collection, it's ALL of their stuff on one cd.

I guess I'd just have 10 custom mixed CDs filled with stuff by a bunch of artists.
of course, I'd be a little cheat, and take a Nomad Jukebox and some passive speaker...you can wire those things to 120 gigs of memory. THAT, my friends, is a LOT of music.

| | | | I'd take 10 random cds from the music store from artists I've never heard of.
I've listened to al lmy music a zillion times, and don't need to be stuck with them for a zillion times more.
even if what I pick up sucks, it beats knowing every song so well its hard to enjoy.

Thomas J. | Given that rule - the "Complete Ring Cycle" - Wagner, has to be one choice - that's over 14 hours of music!!

But as I said, I'm not gonna sit listening to music, I'm getting off that island! |
