In an effort to revive a dying thread, I'll add something else to the mix. Why did you choose your selections? I mean other than the fact that you like the albums and artists. Why would you take your top ten to a desert island? I chose the classics at first and then chose albums that represented varied rock genres. For instance, I made sure to include token heavy metal and punk rock albums. Depeche Mode filled the synth pop category, and it also always was one of my fav' bands. I brought in Pink Floyd in case the desert island TV station aired "The Wizard of Oz".

[Jacques Terreur 2,394]

i chose mine because it's music to have a good time with, some uplifting stuff. Giving it a second thought, maybe i'd rather take my guitar with me, so i can play anything i want and avoid going completely bonkers gradually.... If you're stuck on an island with only ten Albums, you might get tired of them.

[seaturtlehorsesnake 10,963]

i picked mine because naima is one of my favorite songs of all time.

and, ok, because i was being silly.

i'll probably try to make a more serious list some time later.

[Iron_Lotus 10,904]

Chose mine because i can listen to those albums over and over again and not get tired of them. Also its a little bit of everything i like rock and roll, punk, rockabilly, prog rock and tom waits lol

[Jacques Terreur 2,394]

i'll probably try to make a more serious list some time later.

i could do that EVERY DAMN DAY and it would be different all the time.....

[StarMountainKid 9,494]

Years ago I could have made a top 10 list, but now I've heard alll my favorite songs and albums so many times I can only occasionally listen to them anymore.

Now I'd have to include some jazz albums and some classical music albums. Music complex enough and with enouth depth that I could discover something new in them while listening to them over and over.

That's one of my issues or problems too. Chewing gum looses its flavor after you chew the same stick for a long time. I had to take a long break from the Fab Four for that reason. You can hear too much of a good thing.

The Band – Rock of Ages

Radio station in San Francisco (KRQR) The Rocker, would ask what album you would want if you were on a deserted island. If you were selected they played the entire thing.

[scorpiosonic 1,151]

Dam, forgot about the Beatles.

[SpiritWriter 3,391]

Mary J Blidge "What's the 411"

Jodeci's first album

Bob Marley "Exodus"

Ciara "My Goodies"

Whitney Houston :-/ the one with Greatest Love of All on it

thats all I have time to tell you about for now, I have several other favorite songs but just not the whole album. This may not reflect it but I do have other kinds of music I like namely Contemporary Gospel. Also like Cooley Budz :-)

[SpiritWriter 3,391]

Or is it Bob Marley "Legend" :-/

Also love Tupac but not when he calls women hoes.

Lyfe Jennings

[SpiritWriter 3,391]

Bobby Brown "Don't be Cruel"

[Sir Smoke aLot 3,652]

Or is it Bob Marley "Legend" :-/

Also love Tupac but not when he calls women hoes.

Lyfe Jennings

That is why he made a song called ' Keep ya head up ' to show respect and to clear misunderstanding He was called out because, mostly, track ' I Get Around '. There is a difference between a b**** ( pardon my lang ) and a woman and that is what he is saying. ' Brenda's got a baby ' is heartbreaking song, nice video too.

[Paranoid Android 5,978]

Deserted Island. This means more than just a "top 10" list in my view but something that can keep my attention for days or even weeks at a time. This means diversity. With that in mind, I have chosen some varied music to keep me entertained on a deserted island.

1- Beethoven's 5th Symphony.

2- Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back soundtrack.

3- Strapping Young Lad - City

4- Infected Mushroom - Classical Mushroom

5- Beach Boys - Greatest Hits

6- Pan's Labyrinth Soundtrack

7- Nicky Chiswell - Resurrection (the token Christian album on the list)

8- Elvis' Christmas Album

9- The Beatles - "Revolver". Very very tough choice, so many great albums

10- The Offspring - Smash (massive input in my childhood).

There's so many missing from this list, but being that I am on a deserted island I did need to diversify and try and make a list that would keep me occupied for literally years. The "greats" from just one genre couldn't all be represented. I hope this is of interest, it's taken me a very long time to come up with this list of ten.
