Desert Island MP3s
Okay, this is a rehash of the old BBC Desert Island Discs format but you have the prospect of being marooned somewhere for a year and your solar powered IPOD can only hold 5 records which will be the only music you will have (unless you make your own).
And so with your companion (yep you get to spend the year with someone you care about) to consider - you now have to choose 5 records to take with you and explain why those 5 (which is pretty important as it's part of the point of the whole thread)...
One more thing to consider... it's going to somewhere warm, tropical with an abundance of fresh water, fruit and vegetables, fish and other edible fauna. May make a difference - then again it may not... but it's not going to be a huge struggle and a lot of sunsets to behold...

Re: Desert Island MP3s
The soothing sounds of the ocean, accompanied by Kenny G on his sax...
...So I can go mad quicker and forget I was marooned.

Re: Re: Desert Island MP3s
Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing; incredible song that i can listen to repeatedly without getting bored, great Knopfler solo
Guns n Roses - Sweet Child Of mine; same as above + love Slash's solo
Jamiroquai - Cosmic Girl; good upbeat tune, brings back good memories
hmm.. 2 left, must think carefully.. Nirvana? no.. Eminem? no.. Spice girls? only kidding 
final two:
Faithless - Insomnia; crazy tune
Zero 7 - Destiny; sends me to dreamy land 
That's it, pretty diverse bunch....

Re: Desert Island MP3s
AC/DC Back In Black (whoa, big surprise)- its just so COOL.
AC/DC Thunderstruck- ditto
Kenny Rogers The Gambler - life lessons.
Iron Maiden- 2 Minutes To Midnight- love the guiters.
Hendrix All Along The Watchtower- PSYOP for when I inevitably get into a war with the natives.

Re: Desert Island MP3s
I’d just have a whole mix of various songs from different albums so I had a good variety of songs.

Jade from Sweetbox- 1000 Words (from FFX-2.. nice soft song)
Boy Sets Fire- Rookie (good song for my anger)
Metallica- No Leaf Clover (just a good song)
Zombie Nation- Kern Kraft 400 (maybe it's the other way around but it's good)
Nobuo Uematsu- To Zanarkand (from FFX... good orchestral)

Nope - breaks the rules. The whole point is that you have to think about the records/CDs that you want to take, which is the whole point - if you could take every track you wanted then you don't have to make a choice. This is a forced choice framework - you have to make a decision and have to consider why you made the choices...

Yup - by the way record would be the same as an album.

The Darkness- I Believe in a Thing Called Love. Song I just currently listened to.
Van Halen- Jump. Old song but still great.
Wierd Al Yankovic- Amish Paradise. That song always makes me laugh.
Jamming- Bob Marley. My Favorite Reggae Song. Plus I'm stuck on a tropical island.
Maroon 5- Harder to Breathe. Not a bad song to listen to.
