Limiting it to prog only:

Foxtrot

Yessongs

TAAB

Sgt Pepper's (stretching a tad)

Dark Side of the Moon (not my fave Floyd album, that would be Animals, but the one I'd be least likely to tire of)

Casting doubt on all I have to say...

Well, I would like to know why I'm going to a deserted island in the first place. I would never choose to go to one; no conceivable event would cause me to move to one, and if I'm forcibly being taken to one, I get the feeling that I won't have the option of picking music to listen to when I get there. I can't pick just 5, anyway, but here is what I'm thinking of right now:

The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute and De-Loused in the Comatorium

Between the Buried and Me - Colors

Dream Theater - Scenes from a Memory

Transatlantic - Bridge Across Forever

Pizza - Philly Cheesesteak pizza!

Quantity or quality Shocked

. I suppose you're right though. But none of us will ever know until we're stranded on
a desert island saying "I'm so sick of these albums!"

All right guys, lets say this desert island thing is for real. this is all you get to listen to, all of you wouldn't pick double or triple album complilations. Now don't get me wrong, I don't like complilations, but if I'm really leaving for a desert island I want as much music as possible.
