"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Shoot. My list is already no good. I've got no Judas Priest, no Iron Maiden, no Black Sabbath, no Joe Walsh. And aren't we kinda cheating allowing box sets?

fall far and well Pilots!
AHHHHHHH Stop it! I've now forgotten Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, and Kate Bush.....
If I was stranded on a desert island with 15 CDs I'd be missing a huge chunk of the stuff I like.
Edit-Way to go Danlo, Animals is my favorite PF album. The outro solo on Pigs (Three Different Kinds) is Gilmour's finest work.

Lessee if I can do this... I think it will reveal the absolute depth of my geekdom.
In no particular order:
1. Stargate soundtrack
2. Witchunter Robin soundtrack
3. Great Big Sea: Road Rage
4. Star Trek: First Contact soundtrack
5. The Life Aquatic soundtrack
6. Pirates of the Carribean soundtrack
7. xXx soundtrack, disc 1
8. the anime mix CD a friend made me (can't live without CowboyBebop's "Tank" and "The Real Folk Blues," or Sesshoumaru's theme from Inuyasha)
9. The Best of Star Trek: Volume One
10. Queen: A Kind of Magic
11. Fiddler on the Roof film soundtrack
12. Hollie Smith: Light From a Distant Shore

15. The Rogues: V.0 or Carl Orff's Carmina Burana - I can't decide which I'd rather live without, bagpipes and some version of "Bonny Portmore" or "O Fortuna"
Wait... if we're all on the same island, we can take Ducky's idea and not duplicate... then I can leave off A Kind of Magic (Cail has it) and take The Rogues and Orff! Yey!
Other things that didn't quite make the cut:
A Knight's Tale soundtrack
A Knight's Tale score
Children of Eden - Broadway soundtrack
Scottish Rogues: self-titled album (back when they weren't just called "The Rogues")
The Rogues: Off Kilter

I see you're a soundtrack aficionado, Alynna. Guess you'll be lugging a TV/DVD combo to the island to listen to the music and watch the movies? 
So we're all sharing one island? It's going to be one noisy place.

1. Bartok: Concerto for Orchestra; Music for Strings, Percussion & Celesta / Charles Dutoit, Montreal Symphony
2. Bach: Goldberg Variations / Glenn Gould (1981 version)
3. Beethoven: Symphonies 5 & 7 / Carlos Kleiber, Vienna Philharmonic

5. Delerium: Poem
6. Radiohead: Kid A
7. The Police: Synchronicity
8. Simple Minds: New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84)
9. Respighi: Ancient Airs & Dances / Lopez-Cobos, Lausanne Chamber Orchestra
10. U2: Pop
11. Ravel: Daphnis et Chloe / Charles Dutoit, Montreal Symphony
12. Mozart: Symphonies 36 & 38 / Leonard Bernstein, Vienna Philharmonic
13. Holst: The Planets / Herbert von Karajan, Berlin Philharmonic
14. Big Country: No Place Like Home
15. Beethoven: Symphony No. 3 / Herbert von Karajan, Berlin Philharmonic (1986)

Hmmm...burned CDs...yes, that's how I carry my music around. I like to keep the original CDs in as pristine a condition as I can. I don't convert them to formats like MP3, though: I prefer to hear the music in all its uncompressed glory.
Heh, heh, I'm sure I can smuggle along 5 more CDs in a pocket somewhere to make it an even 20.
