Desert Island MP3s

[TexasF355F1]

Well I'm cheating. You need batteries to listen to your music right? Well I'll just bring an i-Pod with all my albums on it. But my 5 albums would be:

-Alice In Chains - Box Set (My favorite band)
-Boy Sets Fire - Tomorrow Come Today(great band)
-Too Short - Get In Where You Fit In (good beats and good flows)
-On Broken Wings
-Beautiful Mistake

Well I did say it was a solar powered IPOD...

Anyway, my albums would be:

U2 The Joshua Tree
U2's finest album - and something that was played on my early morning four hour blasts to the skihill (mainly around dawn)

Faith No More - The Real Thing
Another album from my past - and a mixed bag of tracks. FNM were always an innovative band - too alternative to be mainstream, too mainstream to appeal to alternative fans.

Sheryl Crow - Self Titled
An album to listen to because it's a journey and it's a melange of country, rock and pop. And because Ms Crow is/was pretty hot looking.

Radiohead - The Bends
My favourite album from Radiohead.

Cafe Del Mar - Number Eight
Well it was either this or last year's Hed Kandi Winter Chill compilation. Something to listen to next to the campfire as I watch the sun set in the west...

This is a forced choice framework - you have to make a decision and have to consider why you made the choices...

I have absolutely no idea then.

Evanescence is the only one I can think of.

AC/DC Back In Black: Drinking, rooting music.

Queen Greatest Hits (double CD): Queen rock. Enough said.

Iron Maiden: The Number of the Beast- Their best album.


Elvis: Greatest Hits.- Well, its Elvis for fucks sake.

Rolling Stones: Fourty Licks- Any band that is still going after 40 years and still getting poontang deserves respect.

Well I actually own St Germain Tourist and Boulevard and Nitin Sawhney's Prophesy album. I picked number 8 CDM for personal reasons - mainly it relates to a particular person I spent an evening listening to the album with on a west coast ironsand beach on a lazy warm evening in late summer. Not because it was any better than the others... which is why I mentioned the driftwood bonfire and the sunset...

I also considered the Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream, GNR Appetite, Hed Kandi Deeper + Beach House 03, Wallpaper Mach 1.5 (DJ Nasir), Garbage's Pink Album (Went to it with a friend, saw Shirley Manson, went drinking afterwards...)

I saw U2 just after they released Rattle and Hum - saw the concert on late spring evening - remember a sky rocket launching from the right side of the stadium and completing a perfect arc over the centre of the stage...
