I must confess that although the first few titles came quickly, I had to resort to allmusic for the final two or three.

Anyway, nice one on the "Of" suggestion. I don't think I even bothered to search for that title, thinking it an unlikely name for a CD (unlike "Coconuts" of course).

Oh, and I do actually have 10 desert island picks too:

1. The Who, Quadrophenia
2. Pete Townshend, Rough Mix
3. Rolling Stones, Let it Bleed
4. Dylan, Blood on the Tracks
5. The Clash, The Clash
6. Soft Boys, Underwater Moonlight
7. Kinks, Arthur
8. The Only Ones, Special View
9. The Plimsouls, The Plimsouls
10.Bob Seger, Live Bullet

Yeah, I'm a geezer.

Me too, but we have Good Geezer Taste (GGT?)

Wow, fun:

Shins - Chutes Too Narrow (too catchy)
The Avalanches - Since I Left You (classic. great flow/vibe)
Wilco - Summerteeth (more cheerful music than AGIB or YHF))
The Beatles - White Album (1 million listens and still going strong)
The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds (great compositions)
Nuetral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane...(Duh)
Brian Wilson - SMiLE (amazing sound quality/flow)
Four Tet - Rounds (gotta represent for the electronic side of things)
Animal Collective - Sung Tongs (great vocals, chilled out, would probably sound great in solitary)
Radiohead - Kid A (one of my fave all time, never gets old to me).

It's a tough call because I could list the top ten things I enjoy right now. Of all the newish albums I picked, I did so in thinking that they may stand up over time (fingers crossed).

Replacements - Let It Be
Pixies - Doolittle
Jeff Buckley - Grace
REM - Automatic For The People
Radiohead - The Bends
The Shins - Oh, Inverted World

The Stooges - Fun House

An interesting way to think about my albums, so here it goes:
1. Abbey Road, The Beatles I never tire of any song on this album.
2. All Things Must Pass, George Harrison. For spiritual inspiration.
3. American Idiot, Green Day. For days when I would be angry over being stranded.
4. Blonde on Blonde, Bob Dylan. For poetry.
5. Thriller, Michael Jackson. In case I wanted to dance with myself.
6. No Fences, Garth Brooks. For those times when I wanted to appreciate the simplicity of island living.
7. Jimmy Buffet's Greatest Hits. How can you live on island without a Buffet album to help you believe you are the luckiest person alive.
8. Flaming Pie, McCartney. For some reason this album is endearing to me and relaxes me.
9. Let It Bleed, Rolling Stones. For those moments of the blues and for the song "You Can't Always Get What You Want."
10. Precious Memories, Alan Jackson. After all, I am a clergyman.

I think I may have posted a list on this thread like a year ago as my first post, but in one year my taste in music has changed *so* much and I've been exposed to so much more music (such as Jeff Buckley and Berlin-trilogy David Bowie).

Here's my list that I wrote during Media Law class two days ago when I was thinking about my ten favorite albums.

1. The Queen is Dead - The Smiths
2. Kid A - Radiohead
3. Loveless - My Bloody Valentine
4. The Fragile - Nine Inch Nails
5. The Bends - Radiohead
6. Grace - Jeff Buckley
7. Revolver - The Beatles
8. Viva Hate - Morrissey
9. Power, Corruption & Lies - New Order
10. Medulla - Bjork

Just missed:
11. Low - David Bowie
12. Vespertine - Bjork
13. Poses - Rufus Wainwright
14. Meat is Murder - The Smiths
15. 81:03 - Antarctica
16. Agaetis Byrjun - Sigur Ros
17. War - U2
18. Exile in Guyville - Liz Phair
19. Substance - Joy Division
20. The Downward Spiral - Nine Inch Nails
21. Disintegration - The Cure
22. It Takes a Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back - Public Enemy
23. Rid of Me - PJ Harvey
24. A Grand Don't Come For Free - The Streets
25. Rufus Wainwright - s/t

This is mostly a list of my favorite albums, 'cause that's how I would determine what I would bring with me to a desert island.

My age probably shows with this list....
