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?

Yeah, box sets and best of, greatest hits, retrospectives, etc....they're all cheating.

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.

Well, just think of all the company you'll have. Someone got a guitar?

(and Dogs is such an incredible song, as well )

onewyteduck wrote:Well, just think of all the company you'll have. Someone got a guitar?

I've got several, been playing for about 25 years.

Hey, will there be beer on this island?

Of course! Hey, this island is sounding better. Now if we can all avoid duplicating the CD's......

Mine would be...:
1-Tool - Lateralus
2-Metallica-Black Album
3-Nickelback-Long road
4-Live-Throwing Copper
5-Seether-Disclaimer
6-Metallica-Garage Inc
7-Red Hot Chili Peppers-Blood Sugar Sex Magik
8-Disturbed-The Sickness
9-Rock Anthems compilation cd
10-MFG-Paging Mr Strike
11-NIN-Live Album
12-Armageddon Soundtrack
13-Reef-Best of
14-Evanescense-Fallen
15-Audioslave-Audioslave

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
13. Steve McDonald: Highland Farewell
14. Due South soundtrack, volume one
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
The Rogues: Live in Canada, Eh?
Queen: Live at Wembley '86
Queen: Classic Queen

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?

Always nice to see another fellow Watcher who appreciates Big Country (a great UK band all but forgotten in North America).

But we're not simply listing the "best original studio album recordings" of all time here, are we? This is about what music we'd love to have around at all times, which I think is a different question. So anything under the sun counts, as evidenced by the eclectic collections listed so far.

So we're all sharing one island? It's going to be one noisy place. This is the stuff I wouldn't want to be parted from:

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
4. Mahler: Symphony No. 3 / Leonard Bernstein, New York Philharmonic (1987 live)
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)

I guess I'm the classical geek on the island...

if we could burn cds... all best ofs.

1) Kristen Hersh (solo/Muses/50 FT Wave)
2) Tanya Donelly (solo/Muses/Belly)
3) Thanks To Gravity
4) Bob Mould (Husker Du/Sugar/solo)
5) Mike Watt (Minutemen/Firehose/Dos/solo)
6) Jay Farrar (Uncle Tupelo/Son Volt/solo)
7) Dumptruck
Natalie Merchant (Maniacs/solo)
9) Roger Waters (Floyd/solo)
10) David Gilmour (Floyd/solo)
11) Model Engine/Black Eyed Sceva (same band)
12) Bluegrass (Nicklecreek/Krauss/Stanley/va)
13) Higwaymen (Jennings/Cash/Nelson/Kristofferson solo stuff)
14) Praise & Worship (va)
15) Grant Hart (Nova Mob/Husker Du/solo)

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.

Where's the 9th?!

Hmm...

Matrixman wrote:I guess I'm the classical geek on the island...

Probably, since I love classical music but am largely ignorant of who composed what, but I'll gladly listen to those with you. Share the wealth!

I didn't think of it in that light, so yes, you are right!

As for you being a classical geek, we still need you. The Planets is great, my favorite symphony by far!

Mahler's 9th? Bruckner's 9th? Beethoven's 9th? Well, as I said, I intend to smuggle aboard a few more CDs, so all three of those Ninths could potentially be among them. Sunbaneglasses's magic number was 15, so I obliged.
