Just for Fun
Desert Island Discs:
You have the foresight to know that you will soon soon be stranded on a deserted island. Which 10 Cds will you bring with you? The rules are: No Greatest Hits albums, No Compilations: GO!
My picks: (in no particular order)
Mazzy Star- So Tonight that I Might See
Indigo Girls- Indigo Girls
Radiohead- The Bends
David Sylvian- Secrets from the Beehive
Lloyd Cole- Rattlesnakes
Cowboy Junkies- Trinity Session
AC/DC- Back in Black
Pearl Jam- 10
David Bowie- Ziggy Stardust
Jimi Hendrix- Axis, Bold as Love
I know,it's damn hard, I've already thouht of 10 others I CANNOT LIVE without! And of course I reserve the right to update my list in May. Or perhaps it will be June.... :)

okay...I've been thinking about this all day - really brought my productivity down.... Hard to limit to only 10, but I thought it was important to have a lot of variety: 'cause if I'm gonna be stuck, I KNOW my ADD will kick in and make me go nuts if all my music sounds the same...so I thought I had to have a little of this and a little of that. So, here's my list, in no particular order:
Isley Brothers - Essential Isley
Brothers
Cat Stevens - Numbers
Indigo Girls - Swamp Ophelia
Cheap Trick - Live at Buddokan
The Beatles - Revolver
Eric Clapton - Blues
Meatloaf - Bat out of Hell
Ray Charles - anthology
Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells a Story
Wicked - The Soundtrack
Hmm...that's the list as of today...this moment....subject to update, redirect, change, etc.
this was a fun challenge--thanks!

Led Zep----Led Zep 2
Led Zep----Houses of the Holy
Doors ---- Waiting for the Sun
Nick Drake--Five Leaves Left
Michael Jackson--The Wall
Gillian Welch--Hell Among The Yearlings
Marvin Gaye---What's Going On
John Mc Laughlin--Electric Guitarist
Acetone---Acetone
Tchaikovsky--Romeo and Juliet Overture
Led Zep 2 because every track is brilliant.
Houses of the Holy because "The song remains the same".
Waiting for the sun because "Summer's Almost Gone".
Five leaves left because of "The River Man" and "Fruit Tree". Two of the most beautiful pieces ever (brings tears to my eyes) and he was a poet.
The wall, a classic album, reminds me of Marcel's place in Bangsar and the happy days of the sun.
Hell among the yearlings because of the simplicity of beautiful songs.
What's going on, his best music ever.
Electric Guitarist because Marcel reminded me of it, he excels.
Acetone because there are some beautiful moments that touch my soul.
Romeo and Juliet because I heard it as a child and it fills me with feelings of beauty, happiness and sadness.

Thanks for rising to the challenge. Think I may have to take you all to the island with me, if only to expand my listening options :)

"Hey mister thereminman" (geddit?), I was completely down in the dumps not so long ago and carried on regardlessly with my things. Put Led Zep on and almost in an instant, after a few bars of the Immigrant song ("How The West Was Won'), I was catapulted into a different dimension. Uplifted beyond theremin frequencies of the most exquisite kind.
