The 5 CDs you can't live without

#23
Dream Theater - Train Of Thought
Rush - Moving Pictures
Megadeth - Rust In Peace
Yes - Yessongs
Rush - Exit... Stage Left (best live album ever!)

And I'd find a way to sneak Hemispheres by Rush (the song BTW) onto these! :D

1. Ruben Studdard - Soulfull
2. Justin Timberlake - Justified
3. Aqua - Aquarius
4. Soft Cell - The Singles
5. Falco - Der Kommisar






Ok Just kidding but seriously you almost pee'd yourself laughing didn't you :) I just couldn't resist.

As a side note in trying to find the worst CD titles I could dredge up I found out falco has a web page up still and is selling his music. I guess no one notified his organization that you only need a web page to sell something if people want to buy it.

Word of Mouth Revisited - Jaco (kind of)

The Music of Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays - Composed by Bob Curnow - don't know who actually plays it.

Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - can't decide which one, Live Art maybe?

The Central Park Concert - DMB

Live in America - Victor Wooten (this one really gets better the more you listen to it)

1) MMW - Tonic, Combustication, Shack Man, you can't make me choose!
2) Ben Allison - Buzz, Peace Pipe, Third Eye (see #1)
3) Martin Sexton - Black Sheep
4) Grateful Dead - Reckoning
5) Stanton Moore - Flyin' the Coop

That does it for today - if I come back tomorrow, can I name another 5?

Okay, you have to bring only 5 CDs on a desert island, heaven, hell, whatever, and you'll spend the eternity listening to these... What CDs would you bring ? :confused:

Interesting question. You didn't say "playing" though. I like to play along with some CD"s, just to keep my chops up. But from a listening standpoint, I'd probably have to go with the following five:

Weather Report - Black Market
Dream Theater - either of the live discs, maybe "Once in a Livetime"
David Sancious - Transformation (or the bootleg "Live at My Father's Place version, which is maybe even better)
Deep Purple - Machine Head (one of the great masterpieces of all time, IMO)
- and-
something by Tchaikovsky, maybe 1812 or Swan Lake or something like that.

Beethoven isn't bad either. :D
