Hey Guys

Let's say that you were being exiled to a desert island tommorrow. You are told that you can only bring 10 cds and each cd has to be by a distinctive artist what would you bring? (i.e you couldn't bring two rolling stones discs but a keith disc and a rolling stones disc wouldn't bend the rules)

I'd have to say that at this moment in time mine would be

1. Exile On Main Street - The Rolling Stones
2. The Band - Northern Lights/Southern Cross
3. Neil Young - Silver & Gold
4. Bob Dylan - Oh Mercy
5. The Grateful Dead - American Beauty
6. The Beatles - White Album
7. Gram Parsons/Fying Burrito Brothers - Sleepless Nights
8. Eric Clapton/Derek & The Dominoes - Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs
9. David Bowie - Live At The BBC Radio Theatre
10.AC/DC - High Voltage

Any other suggestions so we can compare before we set sail

Sticky Fingers........Raw Power (Iggy & the Stooges)......Robert Johnson.....Hank Williams Sr.....Leave Home (Ramones)....Get yer Ya-Yas Out...The New York Dolls 1st lp...Never Mind the Bollocks (Sex Pistols)...Hwy 61 Revisited (Bob Dylan)...Exile on Main St.

I think fernando and Leonard bent the 'rules' somewhat...

its tough bein a stones addict...like saying you can only bring one cig instead of a pack

Damn, mine's pretty similar to Leonard's, mostly because we both have exquisite taste. :-) Maybe if we get stuck on the same island Leonard, I can bring the top 10 "spank" movies. Anyway:

Bollocks - Sex Pistols
Raw Power - Stooges
NY Dolls - NY Dolls
EOMS - Stones
40 Greatest - Hank Sr.
The Essential, the Spirit of Country - George Jones
Loveless - My Bloody Valentine
Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan
It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold us Back - Public Enemy
Blue - Joni Mitchell

(ya gotta mix it up a little bit)

Karl

you said it Karl.........great minds think alike...lol!

1. undercover (stones) 2. something else (cannonball adderley) 3. tijuana moods (mingus) 4. funhouse (stooges) 5. bone machine (tom waits) 6. parade (prince) 7. live at the apollo (jbrown) 8. w martha a. (bashmet) 9. band of gipsies (hendrix) 10. III (led zep)

C

"Appetite for Destruction" (Gn'R) would HAVE to be in there somewhere....as would "Dark Side of the Moon" (Pink Floyd)...

can we bring "Greatest Hits" albums, or only "regular" albums?

do double-albums count as TWO or ONE? (I might bring "The Wall" instead of "Dark Side" depending)

My list, considering that bootlegs are not an option
Of course, I'd feel more confortable being given the chance to take 20.

1. Sticky Fingers - Rolling Stones
2. Highway To Hell - ACDC
3. Led Zep II
4. Stripped - Rolling Stones
5. J'évite le soleil - Daran et les chaises
6. The Wall - Pink Floyd
7. Tommy - The Who
8. Live in Japan - Deep Purple
9. One more from the road - Lynyrd Skynyrd
10. At St Quentin - Johnny Cash

Damn, LK, I almost mentioned Shaver. I love all of his stuff especially "Tramp On Your Street". I got to see he and Eddie in Macon one night. Their van broke down , so no band , just he and Eddie on 2 barstools Unplugged! We were at the front table! It was one of my top 5 concert experiences ever. Too bad about Eddie. One of my favorite guitarist along with Keith and Steve Cropper.

yes indeed Elmo...saw Shaver & Eddie in L.A. some years back...stood right in front...seemed like the crowd didnt even know who he was....sad....but the Nashville show i saw him at was the best by far....magic

Willie Nelson always says Billy Joe was the most talented of the so-called outlaw movement in 70's country music. BTW, did you see him (BJ) in the Robert Duvall film, The Apostle? BJ plays his brother.
