I would get sick of London Calling after about 3 times but the Beatles White Album wouldn't be that bad.


My second choice would probably be a Bruce Springsteen CD.

I split it up into different categories. On The Beach... would probably be my choice given only one.

Album: The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society (1968), or for better island appropriateness, On The Beach With The Paragons (1967).

Compilation: The Very Best of Sam and Dave or Smokey Robinson and the Miracles: The Ultimate Collection or for variety, er, I've got no idea. I don't buy many variety compilations. I'll have to research this one!

Box Set (2 CDs): Tricky category. I've got decent Robert Johnson, Sam and Dave and Hank Williams 2CD Boxes, the Trojan compilation Young, Gifted and Black looks okay though too seventies-focussed, can I go for a 2 CD album? In that case, either Sandinista! by The Clash or Ghetto Dictionary by Bounty Killer.

Box Set (3 CDs): Trojan Rocksteady Box Set, unquestionably.

Box Set (4 CDs): The Stax Story or Nuggets or Phil Spector Back To Mono

Box Set (Unlimited CDs): The Complete Stax/Volt Singles, 1959-1968 (9 CDs) or more likely Trojan Box Set: A Jamaican Story (30 CDs)

Do double cds count as albums or not? They were originally released as one album but came on two cds?

I concur with Snapcase, either of these albums would suffice to drive me to suicide and put me out of my misery when I'm stranded on a desert island...

I just thought of Box sets.

I would choose Metallica's live ****! binge and purge. The audio CD's are in 1 cd case so that counts as 1 cd

Or Led Zeppelin's box set

Compilations/Greatest Hits are allowed

Box sets...yeah, will have to say yes. After all, if someone wanted to take Solti's Ring Cycle, that would constitute 16 CDs. And most of my opera recordings are at least 2 discs.

me personally, i couldnt listen to the same cd for decades... there's a few cds that I think got incredible re-play value (Nas' Illmatic, AZ's Doe or Die, etc.) and you can listen to them for the 100th time and just realize a rhyme you never noticed or a hidden meaning you never noticed... but that single cd will get old after a while.

I really doubt any of yall could listen to the cd yall pick for decades... maybe 10-cd box sets but not single albums


thanks

quote: Originally posted by Sheik A CD with Carl Orff - Carmina Burana

If you must have Carmina, the only recording you should even consider taking is the EMI one with Andre Previn leading the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra. It's the best recording ever made of this piece.

My choice would undoubtly have to be a CD with Brahms' 4th symphony. The question is, which recording, as at last count I owned 14!

While I think Furtwangler's interpretation is unbeatable, his recording is in mono from a live concert in 1942. I don't think I could live out my days forsaking stereo sound.

And since I allow box sets, I had best take a set of all 4 symphonies. In that light, I have to take the George Szell recordings with the Cleveland Symphony, as it also includes the Tragic and Academic Festival Overtures, and the St. Anthony Variations. More bang for the buck.

Oh, and of course there are speakers. We'll say you happen to be stranded with the highest-quality audio system available to date. See, I'm not such a monster.

Don't be so literal. The odds of anyone being stranded anywhere with only one CD that they would be able to listen to until they die is pretty remote. It's just an exercise.

And if it did happen, and that was the only CD you had, I suspect you'd make do.

the cd's I listed I have enjoyed for years.

obviously I wouldn't listen to it every day! The cd's I listed I still listen to about once a month. maybe even less than that because I have so many cd's I still listen to.

On a desert island I probably wouldn't listen to it more than once a week so I wouldn't tire of it. Although I probably would still get bored of it. But I'd have to make do.

EMI is just the label, they publish many recordings. The Previn one is on their Great Recordings series. Thomas Allen is the baritone.

Well IF box sets are allowed the big Trojan 30-CD box set containing the Ska, Dub, Rocksteady, DJ, Roots, Instrumentals, Jamaican Superstars, Lovers, Producer Series and Tribute to Bob Marley Limited Edition Boxes in one nice big box is pretty damn cool. Although if I had my way I'd lose all of them except Ska, Rocksteady, Instrumentals and DJ, and instead include Ska Vol. 2, Revive, Tighten Up, Jamaican Hits, Club Reggae and Dancehall, all released after this compilation.

I would choose any of your personal favorite cd and crack it. Once its cracked it really makes a pretty good cutting tool

Seriously, I'll either think about taking Jack Johnson - Bushfire fairytales, Weezer - Blue album, or Brian Eno Pleatux of mirror.

On a hiphop level Nas - illmatic is great but I never get tired of Gza's Liquid Sword. I personally think Liquid sword is better than Raekwon's Built for cuban linx
