10 Desert Island cd's

What 10 cd's can't you live without?? This would be my list, although it could slightly change from time to time.

In no particular order:

1) The Beatles- The White Album (the only Beatles album I really enjoy)

2) Queen- Queen 2 (could be my favorite album by my favorite band)

3) Queen- A Night At The Opera

4) Jimi Hendrix Experience- Electric Ladyland ("Burning Of The Midnight Lamp" is my fav. Hendrix tune)

5) The Runaways- The Runaways ("Cherry Bomb" is still my fav. Runaways song)

6) The Runaways- Queens Of Noise

7) Fleetwood Mac- Tusk (I love every song on this release except the single "Tusk")

8) Barbra Streisand- Greatest Hits Volume 2 (she is one of the greatest singers ever)

9) Ani Difranco- Puddle Dive (basically anything by this artist would be fine with me)

10) Cano- Eclipse (a wonderful, underrated Canadian band)

My gosh, for me this is a nearly impossible question. My musical tastes change so much and I am always thirsting for new.
I am going to try to answer this with some of my old favorites. But it may/will change without any notice...LOL

1) Humble Pie - Rockin' the Fillmore - I loved this lp, The rough voice of the late Steve Marriott and the guitar playing of a young Peter Frampton

2) Ramones - Leave Home

3) Richard Hell & Voidoids - Blank Generation - Mot a bad song on the whole LP

4) Miles Davis -Shades of Blue - a great album for a Lazy Morning

5) The Archies - Greatest Hits - pop hits that I grew up on and still love

6)Johnny Cash - Anything - Johnny is one of the most influenstial musicans around, I love his old stuff cause I grew up on it, I loved his newer stuff (Hurt will bring tears to my eyes every time). R.I.P.

7)Fleetwood Mac - English Rose - what a phenomonal band, With 3 great guitar players, Green, Spencer, and Kirwin. featuring the song Albatross.

8)Loretta Lynn - Van Leer Rose - this cd prodused by Jack white, just proves what a talent this 70 year old icon is. Great lyrics from Loretta, hard edged retro music by Jack, another cd without a bad song.

9)The Clash - London Calling- a personal favorite cd that I can listen to over & over

10)Donna Summers - Greatest Hits - I love her voice and the emotion that she puts into her songs


Now tomorrow my list might be COMPLETLY different [img]wink.gif[/img]

The Clash's "London Calling" is a wonderful album. Definitely their masterpiece!!!

Most of the disc in my truck is a lot of old contries and old rock. I have to try to do this from memory.
Hank Williams Jr- greatest hits 2
Waylon jennings, I can't remember the title, it is 2 disc live
Creedence- cronicals
Bad Company- Bad Company
Johnny Cash-American recording 1
Josh Turner-Long black Train
Kris Kristofferson- greatest hits

It is getting late and I can't think of the other disc I have in my case

10 Desert Island CD's, eh ?

Like most of you, my music tastes vary and so, I'll just call this list a rough draft - haha !

Ok now, let's see...

Enigma - The Cross of Changes

Modern Talking - Ready For Romance

Suzi Quatro - The Best Of... (the RSO years)

Flashdance - Original Soundtrack

Pat Benatar - In The Heat Of The Night

Smokie - Smokie Forever (Double Disc Set)

Pink Floyd - The Division Bell

Pink Floyd - The Wall

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

Boney M - The Christmas Album (just in case - lol)

These are just the top of my head. None of these are set in stone - haha!

Well I like some of your choices, But I hate to admit that I am not familiar with a couple bands you mentioned, Enigma, Modern talking, And Bony M.
I have heard of Smokie, But Don't think I have heard anything by them.

The Desert Isle should be a rockin'

I can see that you enjoy all kinds of music. I'm sure you can find a tune or two or three that you might like by them groups that you don't know. Smokie is cool and yes, I'm sure you heard the lead singer before; Chris Norman. That "Stumblin' In" song he did with Suzi is not much different from their sound. Check em all out. Enjoy!

hey you guys !!!

Is it really supposed to be Desert Island ? LOL

Mannequin

Actually I have often wondered why they called it Desert Island Disc, and not Stranded in a car for a very long trip with only 10 discs.

Hmmm gives ya sumptin to think about [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

are you talking about a record label ?

I meant isn't it supposed to be DESERTED ISLAND instead of DESERT ISLAND ? The topic, I mean...

If you were on a deserted island... get it ?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I agree, I should have called the thread "10 Deserted Island cd's"!!!!

Okay let me think about and...I will get back to you shortly (screamin kids is all I've been listening to lately.....)

HEY I can't find the Sonic Lounge??? Do you know where it went??

Okay after reading this I am certain IF I posted my 10 I would scare somebody!!!

OK!... I Dare You... I Can Take It [img]graemlins/bat.gif[/img]

I find it odd that everyone added Fleetwood Mac on their list, but totally different eras of the band (well 2 for Tusk)

I added my list from the top of my pointed little head, I now realise that I didn't add any of my Christian Rock Cd's, or any of the blues legends that I listen to alot.

Mammiquin.... ZOOM, right over my head desert/deserted. I was seeing one thing and a thinking something else. I thought i wuz turning grey, It might be blonde.

Sis, I am looking forward to your list, since we don't know each other very well, It will give me a bit of insight to see what you like to listen to.

Ok...here goes it.

U2 -Joshua Tree...or any other album by this band.
Bush - Science of Things
Dave Matthews Band - Before These Crowded Streets
Perfect Circle- Mer de Noms
STYX- Crystal Ball-Or any other album before they broke up... Because I wanted to marry Tommy and I will tell you that story one day!
Nine Inch Nails- The Fragile
OutKast-Speakerbox/The Love Below
Sarah Mclachlin-Surfacing
Fuel-Something Like Human

and on the last one I am torn either
Audioslave-the first one or
Maroon 5- Songs About Jane.
This is subject to change (aside from U2... because I love Music, LOTS AND LOTS of music and own hundreds of CD's!!!

See I told you...2 dyas go by and nobody has anything to sat WAH!!!

Hello cherrysis. I must be getting old, I don't know most of the bands that you listed. I do like Dave Matthews Band, and some U2. How can you go wrong with a great band like Styx. I think you just need to add some Jimmy Buffett or Alan Jackson to your list.

Okay...well IDK...oh and I am almost 40 so not a whippersnapper! I do like new music though and you should take a listen sometime!

1. The Runaways first album
2. F Schoolgirls The Runaways
3. Beautys only skin deep Cherie Currie
4. Your mamma won't like me Suzi Quatro
5. Main attraction Suzi Quatro
6. The very best of Cher
7. Bad Girls Donna Summer
8. Oh Suzi Q Suzi Quatro
9 Rock Hard Suzi Quatro
10 Music Madonna

As I look back on my top 10 list, I realize that my choices are all a lot older albums, But I have to agree with you Sis, even at my age I listen to a lot of new stuff too.

I think I will have to give this some thought and add an alternative list of more current albums.


I see a trend in your list Daytona [img]cool.gif[/img]

WOOO HOOO the man agrees with me!!! I am not alone!!! Yeah I am not ALONE!!!!

I like so music so much I listen to everything, The lastest Cds I have are Green Day - American Idiot, John Cena (the WWE Wrestler)- You Can't see me 9one of the best hip hop cds I had heard in a while).
I also like Kelly Clarkson, the new Rob Thomas. I just discovered System of the Down.

*System of a Down* is awesome... I Like *Disturbed* too and *Sevendust* *Godsmack*...then on the light side *incubus* *3 Doors Down* *Smashing Pumpkins* or
* Creed*. I do however draw a line to some of my hubbies CD's...like Prong or Sepultura or Helmet!!!
Have you heard any Crystal Method...great great dance music!

I liked the Smashing Pumpkins alot, Have you heard anything from his other band ZWAN, they were really good too. I heard a rumour that he is trying to reform the Pumpkins.

Yeah we bought the Zwan CD when it came out! I like it, but not as much as the Pumpkins...Aksed DH about the rumor and he told me he had heard the same thing. Saw an interview recently will Corgan and they are trying to get back together YAY!!!

I am excited right now, because I have a friend, who is going to send me a copy of the Toronto Sars Benifit Concert with Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Guess Who, and a bunch of other bands that performed. I am so looking forward to it.

Can you believe they want 300+ for tickets to a Stones concert these days????????

I don't remember the year, But A bunch of us went to see the stones at the Rose Bowl In Pasadena for the Voodoo Lounge tour and we paid 1$160. for tickets about half way up, on the side of the stage.
It was a great show. Buddy Guy Opened, Then The Red Hot Chili Peppers, & Then THE ROLLING STONES!

160$ I can see...especially with that line up!!! 300+ Is just freakin outragous...U2 won't let that happen at their concerts! Now you can't stop people from buyin cheap and sellin em high...but U2 does everything to prevent that. Normal people who buy the albums and make them the stars they are could never afford 300+ for tickets...You know what I mean?

I just found some of the craziest cover songs.
Willie Nelson doing a short acoustic version of Nirvana's - Teen Spirit, The Delltones doing a do-wop version of the Sex Pistols - Pretty Vacant, The Wiggles doing a strange version on Lou Reeds - Walk On The Wild Side, Mark lizotte doing an acoustic bottleneck blues version of Barry Manilows - I write the Songs.

The Rolling Stones are playing in Moncton, NB Canada (a 90 minute drive from me) on September 3.

I won't be attending, but thousands will be. It could likely go down as the biggest concert in Atlantic Canada ever!
