Magma – Theusz Hamtaahk Trilogie Of course this is a live triple cd set. If I only had the option to choose just 1 cd it would be: Yes - Close to the Edge Edited by CosmicVibration - August 21 2014 at 14:37 |

Maybe Korean pop group Kara's 'Full Bloom', if nothing else than for the "fap-tastic 52 page booklet that comes with the cd.
Music-wise...I don't know, The Beatles white album covers lots of territorial ground thus it's hard to get bored with a specific genre, although I could also handle some extreme metal compilation for a serious length of time if the bands are all to my taste. |

Too many to list, though The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn by Pink Floyd comes to mind.

It doesn't matter what you take because eventually you will become sick of hearing it. For that reason I refuse to take anything I even remotely like.
I think I'd like to pick A Kind Of Blue, it is just possible that given enough time I could grow to like it but even then it is inevitable that I will soon turn back to abject dislike. Either way, I will then take enormous pleasure in warping it into something useful, like a fruit bowl or a hat to shade the sun.

If I were stranded on an island and I could only have one album it would be Pink Floyd's The Wall. There's so much music there and enough diversity amongst the songs that I would continue to discover one musical layer after another.

Hey, just thinking about it... How would one listen to the said record? Is there a CD player, a vinyl player or a cassette player on this island?
YES, IT'S AN IMPORTANT AND RELEVANT QUESTION TO THIS DEBATE!!!  |

Hmm. We could assume that the requisite player was salvaged from the wreckage of whatever form of transportation stranded you on the island. However, without electrickery all of those things are pretty useless, solar or wind generators would be needed. While the construction of primitive generators and batteries is not impossible in a desert island situation, I suspect there would be more pressing demands on your time such as food and shelter. If we assume that these items were portable and battery operated you could use them for a short time while these critical problems were addressed. Of course if the salvaged equipment were a cassette player then you'd also need head-cleaner, degausser or demagnetiser and an old-fashioned wooden pencil. For CD player I'd not recommend an external DAC in this situation though a player that is protected against sand and salt-spray would be advisable. However, you can construct a rudimentary phonograph that would not require the use of electrickery out of bamboo, half a coconut shell and a thorn from a suitable tree such as the acacia (or alternatively a spine from a sea anemone). With a little ingenuity you could even power it from a small treadmill operated by a specially trained island critter, suffice to say: turtles would not be the idea choice here. |

Yea these questions always crack me up as we are to assume there would be a power plant, cables, wall receptacle and such... on this "deserted island"

To be fair, when the concept of "desert island discs" was created portable record players looked like this:
 and didn't need electrickery.

Very true.....I suppose "if it was 1895 and you were ship wrecked...." But then we would not be able to choose Rush, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Miles Davis......

I love Future Days too, and oddly enough it sometimes makes me imagine being stranded on a desert island, orbiting a black hole...forever |

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Camel: The Snow Goose - I first heard this album maybe 34 years ago, I still love it now. Contains almost everything I love about music - except thoughtful lyrics of course... Perhaps would take the Live Record version (which I heard first) to the desert island instead of the studio version, not sure,
