Realistically, impossible to answer.
Whilst on holidays in The Bahamas, I listened to Gilmour's 'On An Island', on an island .... But I think today I would take Magenta's 27 Club ANYWHERE........(such is my obsession over this album it's a growing concern......) |

I'd take along my Zune and some type of generator so I could have them all. I mean really, if you are talking an LP, without a proper setup to play it on, you couldn't listen to it. Without a power source even a digital music player will run out of juice. Not to mention you are going to die unless you have fresh water and food. What the hell is the point?....

I think I'd take something by Kate Bush and sing along to it continously until all the animals on the said island got together and took me somewhere else.
And if there were no animals on this island, I'd take The Beatles - the only album I can think of with enough diversity to keep me interested in it.
And a solar powered MP3 player to play it on.

I'd probably pick something frightening to fend off dangerous critters or possible pirates.
I'm thinking either Current 93's Dogs Blood Rising or some Celine Dion.

I'd probably take Islands by King Crimson for the sake of conceptual symmetry. Anything else and I would go mad repeating "why didn't i take islands? why didn't i take islands?"
Also cuz i love that album and it would be prefect on an island |

With a few battery powered CD players and a good stock of the best lithium chloride batteries (and somewhere reasonably cool to store them) it should be possible to keep a means of playing the album for 20 years or so. However, I might even get fed up with Yessongs if I had nothing else to listen to for 20 years.

you'd need to make sure you took a good pair of ear plugs as well though

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Really tough question that always gets asked........I'm tempted to pick a nice mellow classical album like Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, but as far as prog probably ITCOTCK or an early Genesis like Trot or Cryme.

one album, like Dean said, is impossible. Whatever it was it would drive you mad after a few weeks / months. luckily I have loads of music going around in my head. |

If we're going to mention islands for conceptual symmetry, then I must include Tull's Rock Island. Not that it'd be my choice.
Probably go with Stravinsky's Greatest Hits. 'Cos you need complexity for an indeterminate stretch.
