Ok, fine, and I changed my Floyd. This is hard. I mean what desert island has such a restriction? Do we even get the electronics to play the music or only look at the covers? :P

Luckily, you should also get a book of your choice (not including The Bible or whatever) and one luxury item! But them's the rules!

Nice list, especially the Genesis, Pink Floyd, and Camel. Don't know if I've heard Yessongs. This is a live album, correct? I can't remember. |
It is although the production is a bit sh*t even for a live album 
I actually prefer Yesshows with superb renditions of Ritual and Gates Of Delirium. |
I like Keys To Ascension a lot, which has great versions of Siberian Khatru, America and Starship Trooper. |
Yep great version of America on Keys but I would take Yes Symphonic over Keys personally.

See I don't get it. I just don't get it. I'm anal I know but it just pisses me off. You see there is a point to this thred. Although, I can only assume as its not mine. I think it's based on a radio show we have in the UK and probably other countries, where famous peope pick their favourite 10 records they would have if they were stuck on a desert island.
So then the OP is asking us to do the same. And of course its difficult, it makes you have to think about what you would want to listen to which records would stand the test of repetative play and what kind of mix you would want if you could only chose a few records. Otherwise, its a totally pointless exercise of picking all your favourite discs and typing them out, only to act as some vanity project that nobody reads anyway.
So, really I would learn much more about you and your taste if you tried a bit harder and actually thought about it a bit. It would be much more interesting and I might even read your post.
Yours
Grumpily

^Sometimes a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down is the old saying and I like to think that a dose of humor helps some people get the point of some statements. No harm intended.

Why limit to 8? Just list a bunch

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Because it is based on Desert Island Discs, a BBC radio programme that has been running since since the 1940.
Over that 70+ year period there have been literally 100s of guests, each of whom have chosen exactly 8 records to take to their desert island. Not 7, not 9, not 40, not 800 but exactly f**king 8. In 1958 Aaron Copland was a guest on the programme and while he did choose one of his own records to take with him, he managed to whittle the extensive list of records that he undoubtedly liked to precisely 8 f**king records. Not 7, not 9, not 40, not 800 but exactly eight f**king records. David Bowie has been a guest on the show - he selected precisely 8 f**king records. Not 7, not 9, not 40, not 800 but exactly eight f**king records. Yehudi Menuhin was a guest on the programme - guess how many f**king records he chose... go on, have a wild f**king guess... did you guess 40? did you think he could only manage a list of 7 records? No. He chose 8 records, not 7, not 9, not 40, not 800 but exactly eight f**king records.
