Stealing an idea from the BBC, you are marooned on a desert island. You have a sound system and, fortunately, are able to power it by waves/solar power :)

To keep you entertained, you are allowed to choose ONLY 10 albums to keep with you and play for what might be the rest of your life. Here are the rules:

1: Choose only 10 albums, from any era, but they must have been available as an LP on vinyl at some time.
2. No boxed sets, but double/triple albums count as one selection.

I'll kick it off with my own choice, in no particular order:

1. Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon
2. Fleetwood Mac: Rumours
3. Moody Blues: Every Good Boy Deserves Favour
4. Beatles: Sgt. Pepper
5. Wishbone Ash (First album)
6. Alan Parsons Project: I Robot
7. Joni Mitchell: Hejira
8. Steely Dan: Pretzel Logic
9. Robin Trower: Bridge of Sighs
10. Yes: Fragile

:music:

wow.....how "High Fidelity" is this.......but anyway...let's see.....

1. Beatles - Abbey Road
2. Genesis - A Trick of the Tail
3. Asia - Asia
4. Johnny Cash - Live at San Quentin
5. The Who - Who's Next
6. Jethro Tull - "A"
7. Paul Simon - Still Crazy After All These Years
8. Elton John - Tumbleweed Connection
9. Blind Faith
10. Wings - Wild Life

There it is.........in no particular order

This is the kind of thing that changes daily for me but I will take a stab.

1. Eno/Manzanera: 801
2. Cal Tjader: El Sonido Nuevo
3. Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here
4. Dave Brubeck: Take Five
5. Byrds: Sweetheart of the Rodeo
6. Jethro Tull: This Was
7. Steely Dan: Aja
8. Gary Numan: Replicas
9. Syd Barrett: The Madcap Laughs
10. Santana: Abraxas

Ask me 10 minutes from now and it will be totally different

The Beatles - The Beatles
Kraftwerk - The Man Machine
Pink Floyd - DSOTM
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
Jethro Tull - Crest of a Knave
Hootie and the Blowfish - Cracked Rear View ( I am a child of the 90s and my girlfriend recently bought this for me sealed so I have to add it for nostalgic and personal reasons :) )
Cream - Live Cream II
Frank Zappa - Apostrophe
Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
Yes - Going for the One

Not in any order really.

Thanks Onepixel. I did a search for Desert Island Discs before starting the thread, but missed seeing that 2006 thread - must admit I was surprised to find that it had not been done before (which of course it had). Oh well, no harm done and it's cool to see the albums that are coming up on these postings. Cheers, OscarEmmy

Nice eclecticism...I am also a fan of JSB, Bill Evans and Richard Thompson (Beeswing still one of my all time favorite songs) - I have never heard the Musica Antigua Koln verson of Brandenburg. I have The 1975 English Chamber Orchestra (cond. Johannes Somary), in Quadraphonic on Vanguard VSO 30049/50 - Nice.

Not again.

It's okay...posting to this thread is NOT compulsory :D

I can't create a top 10 list as it is always changing depending on my moods. One thing I am sure of is that any top 10 list I create will ALWAYS have The Beatles "Abbey Road" in it. :yes:
