Title: Desert Island Discs
Post by: plastercaster on May 17, 2007, 04:24:31 PM
SO, you're going on a boat, so you grab your iPod (yeah so alll you creative people will go "you're such a sheep" but I owned a zen vision:m for a month and it suuuuucked)
But, since you're the type who likes to plan for every eventuality, you think:
What If I get stuck on a desert island, my iPod has broken (I'll give the creative camp a point on this issue), and I only have a Cd player?
So you start to pack your CD collection
but disaster!
theres only enough room for 5 discs!
Which 5 do you take?
(or in short, if you were stuck on a desert island with only 5 albums which 5 would you take?)

for me:
Radiohead - The Bends
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin I
AC/DC - Highway to hell
Deep Purple - Made in Japan
Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast

If i was on a desert island i don't think i would have access to a cd player  :P

But, if for some crazy reason i do (haha it's like being in an episode of LOST)

1) Metallica - Kill 'Em All
2) Ensiferum - Ensiferum
3) Ozzy - Greatest hits album (smart thinking as it's 2 cd set in a standard cd case!)
4) Van Halen - Van Halen
5) GTA Vice City Soundtrack - V-Rock (essential 80's metal!!)

of course they are allowed, they take up the same space in your emergency desert island suitcase.

We want to keep this hypothetical question realistic, of course.
on second thoughts, I'd drop made in japan for machine head.
And I'd love to squeeze in are you experienced?... It'll have to go in my back pocket.

Those are some fine choices. I think I'd probably take Bonded By Blood for the Exodus though. And make a coupla other changes, keeping lots of thrash though.

I would take the Evile, but it's a bit short with only 5 tracks. Maybe when their album comes out.

Final list would probably be

Exodus - Bonded by Blood
Dark Angel - Darkness Descends
Sodom - Agent Orange
Dream Theater - Images and Words
Rush - 2112

What kind of lame-o desert island to you plan to get stuck on!?  :wink:

Anyway, 5, huh?  OK, today, the list would be:

Jan Sibelius, Kullervo Op.7, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra cond. by Paavo Berglund, 1985 recording.
The Grateful Dead, Europe '72.
Hawkwind, Space Ritual.
The Beatles, Revolver.
Jethro Tull, Benefit.

Aren't we supposed to normally get 8 discs on the proper Desert Island Discs show, though? :)  If so, today I'd add:

Bruce Dickinson, The Chemical Wedding.
Blue Öyster Cult, Imaginos.
Carlos Vives, La Tierra del Olvido (I trust I'm on a tropical desert island, properly equipped with umbrella drinks! 8))

excellent, you've just discovered a button on the cd section of your suitcase/backpack/whatever that makes the pocket larger on the inside than the outside, tardis style. It can now hold 8 cds! chuck 3 more in then.
