Does this island have electricity?

 

[Tall Paul]

Good question... The younger croud here uses things called CD's and MP3's...lol

I don't own a single record.

Doc are you still lisening on a crank style phonograph...lol

If I have electricity on this island I will put up my list.

 

[Devil Doc]

The key to humor is using the unexpected. Guess what? You two ain't funny. The last time I was at the record store there were lots more young folks than old. And CD's, MP3's and Hight Rez downloads are still called recordings, because that's what the RECORDING engineer did. Now, if you don't want to play, that's fine, but quit trashing my thread.

Doc

 

[kann]

25 full albums, or just single songs?

 

[Devil Doc]

Albums. And 25 isn't necessary. I had too much time on my hands yesterday.

Doc

 

[Gern Blansten]

Fun idea, Doc. I'll bite.

These are not in any particular order:

1. The Beatles, 1962-1966
2. Yes, Yessongs
3. The Replacements, Tim
4. Rush, Retrospective I (1974-1980)
5. Pixies, Surfer Rosa
6. Husker Du, New Day Rising
7. The Beastie Boys, Check Your Head
8. Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin II
9. The Clash, London Calling
10. The Rolling Stones, Exile On Main Street
11. Bob Mould, Workbook
12. Radiohead, The Bends
13. REM, Murmur
14. Buena Vista Social Club, Buena Vista Social Club
15. The Smiths, Meat Is Murder
16. The Police, Outlandos d'Amour
17. Bauhaus, Swing The Heartache (The BBC Sessions)
18. Green Day, Dookie
19. Sublime, Sublime
20. Uncle Tupelo, No Depression
21. Jane's Addiction, Nothing Shocking
22. Soul Asylum, Made To Be Broken
23. Miles Davis, 'Round About Midnight
24. Pink Floyd, The Wall
25. Thievery Corporation, The Mirror Conspiracy

That WAS hard! Tough to pick one album from an artist, so I got a couple of "greatest hits" in there for more volume. I tried to cover the gambit of my musical taste, since I was to be marooned on a desert Island.
