5 albums on an island...

[PDXsooner]

You're stuck on an island for the rest of your life, you've got an ipod with unlimited battery power and you can pick 5 albums to download...what are they? (no "Greatest Hits" albums either)

Pearl Jam - Ten
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies
Dr Dre - the Chronic
Still undecided on my 5th...

[BillyBall]

Radiohead - OK Computer
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
Beatles - White Album
Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde

[yermom]

i can't pick 5 CD's to put in my car :O

[MR2-Sooner86]

Just five!?!?!

I'll try...

Metallica - Master of Puppets
Pink Floyd - The Wall
The Beatles - Sgt. Peppers
AC/DC - Black Album
and....

**** YOU! You can't just pick five albums!

[SoonerStormchaser]

Rush-Moving Pictures
Journey-Escape
Meatloaf-Bat Out Of Hell
AC/DC-Back In Black
Any Hannah Montana album for when I finally decide to commit suicide from the shear boredom and loneliness of being on an island.

[Leroy Lizard]

Crucifax, here is your chance to post the 200 albums you would take to the island. :)

As for me:

Shriekback: Big Night Music
Fields of the Nephilim: Sumer
Tristania: Widow's Weeds
Tangerine Dream: Exit
The Dub Syndicate: Echomania

For suicide, I can maybe hum "American Pie" to myself or (even worse) "Michelle" by The Beatles.

Beatles Revolver
Soundgarden Ultramega OK

Animals, good call. One random Floyd album that I am a huge fan of is the Division Bell...kind of under-the-radar, and obviously sans Waters.

[ndpruitt03]

Animals is another great Floyd album. I like Meddle only slightly better.

[GKeeper316]

I could swap a spot on mine with any one of these except the Cure (who I don't dislike, just not island material for me).

As far as Floyd goes...I don't do waterless.

[StoopTroup]

Five anything Mylie Cyress and if one of them had achy breaky heart on it...that would be a plus. ;)

[SoonerProphet]

3. the cure disintegration


Very hard for me to leave this off top 5.

[delhalew]

Excellent choice. (Although I think Scary Monsters is better)

Low was the meeting of Bowie/Eno. Hard to go wrong with combo.

[SanJoaquinSooner]

How can you have access to unlimited battery power but not greatest hits albums?

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

New Traditionalists? I would have figured Freedom of Choice or Are We Not Men?

Seriously? New Traditionalists?

[XingTheRubicon]

You're a wrong machine, so I feel pretty good about it.

[Collier11]

David Gilmour on Palladia right now, awesome show!

[delhalew]

I can't believe I'm gonna say this...Leroy has a point. "Are We Not Men" is badassalicious.

[SoonerProphet]

David Gilmour on Palladia right now, awesome show!

Was it the Live in Gdansk show? His Albert Hall and Live in Concert dvds are also very nice.

[Collier11]

Yes, I believe so...it was unreal

Where's Crucifax? I was looking forward to some real cool albums to save us from the Land of Vanilla.

[silverwheels]

Upon further review, I would like to replace Kind of Blue with Laughing Stock by Talk Talk.

[delhalew]

Yeah, we could use him. I think his internet time is limted, due to rebuilding a motherboard/CPU.

[SouthFortySooner]

ZZ Top- Tres Hombres
Grand Funk- Closer to Home
Stevie Ray and Double Trouble

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Actually it's kinda what she and I do when we're hammered at the bar and/or others are around us. We had a habit of taking peoples' cameras and taking a bunch of pics of us with them. Haha.

This one was called "Male Enhancement Commercial" face.

[Howzit]

All this Pink Floyd and not one Wish You Were Here?

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

Have to think about the last.

[Howzit]

[C&CDean]

Everything you do is wrong.

[Howzit]

You mean like what I do when I look at your User Profile?

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Everything you do is wrong.

but it feels so right

[Howzit]

I started using a sock. That should count for something.

[C&CDean]

Way to kill the thread homo.

[Howzit]

Sticks and stones may break my bones, bite my *** and bark at the cajones.

[PDXsooner]

How about Pearl Jam "Vs" -- anyone consider this?

[Collier11]

Id use Pearl Jam and Green Day albums to wipe my azz

[PDXsooner]

Oh, you're that guy.

[Collier11]

If by that guy you mean someone who doesnt like bands that used to be really good and then use their fame to force their political views down your throat, yes! :D

i knew it, ha ha.

[Collier11]

Honestly, do you think that GD's last two CDs and PJs last couple have been any good?

[delhalew]

Hellz no! Vs was good though.

[PDXsooner]

I thought Backspacer was great. But with Pearl Jam, it's much more about their non-studio stuff. You can download any of their live performances from their web-site, and it's the obscure stuff that isn't on their studio albums that is the best...by far.

As for Green Day, I think American Idiot was their best since Dookie. Awesome album.

[Collier11]

meh

[OUstud]

Blood Sugar Sex Magik (RHCP)
The Lonesome Crowded West (Modest Mouse)
The Moon & Antarctica (MM)
Nevermind (Nirvana)
Unplugged (Nirvana)

[sooneron]

Beatles - Abbey Road
Radiohead - The Bends
Depeche Mode - Violator
Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain
Replacements - Let It Be

As for the PJ/GD discussion, I thought Backspacer was solid- about an 8 and I thought AI was very solid. It can't be overlooked for what they aimed for and achieved. You either want them to fail b/c they are punk poseurs or you just don't like them. They aren't punk, nor is American Idiot, but it is a very good rock album.

What is a punk poser vs. a real punk? Is there some kind of group you have to join, or crime you have to commit? Just curious.

[Leroy Lizard]

There is an attitude that goes along with punk that is hard to describe, but not necessarily hard to identify. The same applies to rock. Billy Joel is an example of a pop performer that fancies himself as a real rocker, but is in reality a puss.

Green Day is the punk equivalent of Billy Joel. Not a bad pop band, but as for punk they just don't have IT.

I'm no punk, but I know a lot of punks and people that know a lot about punk to know that they don't claim GD as being punk. Kinda like Blink 182.

[sooneron]

I would like replace the Replacements (LOVE THAT ALBUM) with Pretty Hate Machine by NIN.

[King Crimson]

no more love for Gary's Got a Boner? kidding.

[King Crimson]

no order

Minutemen: Double Nickles on the Dime
Wayne Shorter: Speak no Evil
Love: Forever Changes
Big Star: Radio City
Beatles: Revolver

That's as decent of an explanation as I've heard. I think the other component is that people who consider themselves punk fans, or gangsta rap fans, or whatever the genre...like to see themselves as if they're in a unique "cool kids" club...and once a band becomes too mainstream and everyone likes them, these fans don't want to claim them because they don't want to believe that everyone else is cool enough to be in their group.

[Leroy Lizard]

Let Slapshot summarize the issue:

I am sure this will **** off almost everyone, but I think the "it" factor is why so few females are true rockers. Most of the ones I have seen are trying to pull off a rocker attitude, but it just doesn't come off as genuine.

However, I know of a few that can rock with anyone (Nina Hagen of Lizard avatar fame and Patti Smith come to mind), but the rest are meh.

[OUthunder]

Motley Crue - Shout At The Devil
Van Halen - 1984
Journey - Frontiers
Johnny Cash - Live From Folsom
Kiss - Alive

Me personally, I dont like any artist or actor that uses their famous person platform to push their views on people. I think that PJ and GD used to have great music but lately it has all been saturated with political BS. That is why I dont like them, its just not good music to me. Some of it is entertaining music but it isnt good music
