Desert Island Discs
I searched TFP for this topic and was surprised it wasn't posted....maybe a repeat from past versions?
Anyways, it goes like this: If you were stranded on a deserted island for the rest of your life, what would be the 10 albums that you would want with you. Here are the rules: You can list only 10 albums, but they don't have to be in any order. No "mix" CD's that you make yourself. You can include only ONE box-set. Multi-disc albums don't count as box sets (ie Pink Floyd's "Pulse" live album isn't a box set, but CSN's retrospective set is) I'll post my list after a few responses.... |
1 Led Zeppelin - The song remains the same
2 Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gold & Platinum 3 Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road 4 Blackfoot - Marauder 5 SRV - Texas Flood 6 Les Miserables - Original London Soundtrack 7 Heart - Greatest Hits 8 Eva Cassidy - Songbird 9 Jimmy Barnes - Flesh And Wood 10 Queen - Sheer Heart Attack I think that would do it for me! I know I'll remember something really important tomorrow, but that will do for now. |
You know this desert island, well in the movies there's always another island on the horizon! ''Right you got it'' So, I fell a tree with my swiss army knife, and carve me out a canoe, paddle over to the other island to claim my other ten albums just before the bone through the nose native cannibals charge out of the trees, forcing me to flee back to my island with my ten new albums tucked safely under my arm.
1 Pink Floyd - Wish you were here 2 AC/DC - Highway to hell 3 Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak 4 ELP - Brain salad surgery 5 WASP - The crimson idol 6 Rick Wakeman - Myths and legends 7 Rainbow - Rising 8 Rush - A farewell to kings 9 Metalica - The black album 10 Sammy Davis Jnr - The very best of ''There I think I got away with that Derwood, nobody seems to be watching! |
Okay, here are mine:
1. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon 2. Radiohead - OK Computer 3. Beastie Boys - Check Your Head 4. Reverend Horton Heat - Liquor in the Front 5. Nirvana - Unplugged in New York 6. Dead Can Dance - Toward the Within 7. Sigur Ros - Aegetis Byrjun 8. Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream 9. Jesus Christ Superstar - Original Soundtrack 10. Crosby Stills and Nash - Box Set I'm positive I left something monumental off the list. Oh well, tough decisions... |
Are we the only people with ten albums or more in this forum?
I'm surprised nobody's picking up on this one. The radio show 'DESERT ISLAND DISCS' on the BBC in the U.K. has been running for over Fourty years! |
I'm surprised too. Maybe this was done in old versions of TFP? Dunno...
|
can i just take my computer seing as though i only own 1 CD?
|
NO!........What is your one and only C.D. you can take ten copies of it. That should drive you nuts!
