No particular order once again:

Prince - Purple Rain
Prince - Sign O The Times
Beatles - Rubber Soul
Semisonic - Feeling Strangely Fine
Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker
The Velvet Underground - Self Titled
Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill
Wax Poetic - Nublu Sessions
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Beach Boys - Pet Sounds

If you friend had to go to a Desert Island, and you could only give them 1 cd of yours for them to take with them, what would you give them?

I'd give them "Agaetis Byrjun" because I'm absolutely shameless in my attempts to convert people into Sigur Ros fans.

After reading through the lists contained here several times, I have to ask….

“Is everyone here on this forum, generally over the age of 24-25..???”

The reason I ask, is that I (wrongly) was semi-expecting, a lot of choices to be fairly generic albums making up most peoples choices, but looking through the 3 pages or so of choices, there appears to be quite a few well informed ‘Music Enthusiasts’ posting here: (Modest Mouse, Spiritualized, Beta Band, Minor Threat, Fugazi, Joy division, Sigur Ros, Godspeed, PJ Harvey, Tool, Dirty Three, Explosions in the sky, Elliott Smith, Belle and Sebastian, Portishead, Mos Def, My Bloody Valentine, Jeff Buckley, Beck, Queens of the stone age, Sonic Youth, Aphex Twin, Pixies, Bob Dylan, Outkast, Led Zep, Johnny Cash, Pink Floyd, Wilco, Simon & Garfunkel, Beach Boys….).

I’ve been waited aggggges, to find a forum with you guys on it……(I.e. basically people, that cover a wide variety of musical genres, and respectful to those genres they themselves don’t listen to).

This new Forum looks like it could be a lot of fun……..

I agree, this forum has the potential to be excellent, and i did list beach boys, but im not over 25!! Still only 20! Guess im wise beyond my years!

In no order:

Dr.Dre - The Chronic
Snoop Doggy Dogg - Doggystyle
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
The Prodigy - Fat Of The Land
The Dogg Pound - Dogg Food
Wu-Tang Clan - Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
Alicia Keys - Songs In A Minor
Nirvana - Unplugged in New York
Jay-Z - Reasonable Doubt

Off The Bench - Nas - Illmatic or OutKast - Aquemini

I'd tell my friend to take The Dogg Pound - Dogg Food

in no order:

DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
Snoop Doggy Dogg - Doggystyle
Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie...../Siamaese Dream (Can't Decide which, maybe both)
Jay-Z - Reasonable Doubt
Tha Dogg Pound - Dogg Food
Genesis - ...And Then There Were Three
Outkast - Aquemini
Dr.Dre - The Chronic
Wu Tang Clan - 36 Chambers
errrrr probably Makaveli - Don Killuminati: 7 Day Theory

I'm 20 as well. Truth be told, even though we'll get the odd person around here with questionable tastes, most teenyboppers or "I-only-buy-3-albums-a-year" types aren't going to waste their time on a message board on a site dedicated to music/game/movie reviews.

Oh, and Fetish_2000, there's tons of indie/"good music" related message boards and such. Just try going to some of the "good" artists webpages and check out their message board, more often then not they have a section for talking about other bands music. I've been frequenting the Radiohead message board over at http://www.ateaseweb.com for about 20 months or so now. Radiohead fans, by and large, have impecable tastes


And there's plenty of Tool and Rush haters there so I feel nice and comfy

Nope, not me.

Keep in mind that colleges generally have quite a few people (a lot, actually) who listen to a lot of music, or, at the very least, have well-developed and broad tastes. Hence the popularity of college radio.

You know what would really suck? That moment on the desert island when the batteries in your CD player ran out.

Hey you edited me! I'll forgive you for now ... but if it happens again I may have to take revenge.

That's interesting. We have the same #1 album and three common ones in the top ten.

The Beatles are my favorite artist of all time, so I would bring 1, Rubber Soul, White Album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Revolver, Abbey Road, and Let It Be. Add Loreena McKennitt's Book Of Secrets for relaxation, Bing Crosby's Merry Christmas since I'm a Christmas fan, and Madonna's Immaculate Collection for some grooving.

That's only one possibilty, though - I'd have to think it over.

I'm missing some of my faves of 2003 -- I'd think the Wrens would be on here, but we'll see how they hold up.

Smiths, “Hatful of Hollow”
Police, “Ghosts in the Machine”
Replacements, “Let it Be”
Kate Bush, “Hounds of Love”
Foo Fighters, “Colour and the Shape”
Bob Mould, “Workbook”
That Dog, “Retreat from the Sun”
Jellyfish, “Bellybutton”
Liz Phair, “Exile in Guyville”
R.E.M., “Murmur”
David Sylvian, “Brilliant Trees”

Depends on the friend...I'd send quite a few with that dog. I don't know how everyone in the world doesn't love that disc (whereas I can see folks not digging Liz Phair or Replacements). Jellyfish is another one everyone should have...

My desert island discs:

Prick - The Wreckard
David Bowie - Diamond Dogs
Depeche Mode - Black Celebration
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Bob Marley - Uprising
Air - Moon Safari
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
Bootsy Collins - Ahh ... The Name Is Bootsy Baby
Opeth - Morningrise

Sure, sounds good to me Maybe I'd replace Maggot Brain with a CD containing two short albums of Perspects' ("Desire & Efficiency" and "The Third and Final Report"). Gee, I wish I'd brought along more discs with feminine energy. And maybe just one really hard and angry industrial cd. Damnit. Oh well.

Becuase I know how I feel looking at other's lists, my apolgies in advance...

1. Violent Femmes
2. Nevermind
3. Replacements - Let it Be
4. Clash
5. Bob Dylan (First Album)
6. Purple rain
7. Beat Farmers - Tales of the New West
8. Feelies - Only Life (Even though I've been assured I'm wrong)(I'm not)
9. Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
10. CCR - Willy and the Poorboys

Hal, let me (re)assure you that you aren't wrong about which Feelies album to include, it's just that I need to assure myself that "Time For a Witness" is their best. Hey Hal, check out the best of the 90s because you're a hero!
