Stranded on a desert island? What 5 CD's would you want.

[Jish]

I would have to have --

Bob Segar -----
Eric Clapton ----- these three would be greatest hits CD's
The Eagles -----

U2 -- The Joshua Tree (it's a tough choice as to which cd)
Kenny G -- Which ever cd has the most songs.

How 'bout the rest of you?

[youngnhappymamma]

Sting greastest hits
REM either greates hits or Green
U2 Joshua Tree
Lisa Loeb either almbum
Enya Watermark (or greatest hits)
Indigo Girls
The Monkees greatest hits

I know that's more than five, but I snuck a few in my pocket before I became stranded......

[CanOBeans]

Van Morrison - Avalon Sunset
Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
Michael Gettel - San Juan Suite
Marc Cohn - Marc Cohn
Natalie Merchant - Tigerlily
U2 - The Joshua Tree

Yep, that's 5, right? It would have been easier to pick just one, because that would have been Van Morrison.

So many left out -- Alannis Morrisette, Cat Stevens, Hothouse Flowers, Blue's Traveler, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Tracy Chapman, Big Head Todd, John Cougar Mellencamp, Bonnie Raitt, Melissa Etheridge, REM...

Forget it, I am not going to any island where I can't have ALL my music! :P

[Jish]

Ooohhh, Indigo girls, I hadn't thought of them. Now that I think of it, I have all these Melissa Etheridge CDs too. Hmmmm.

[Ms. Mom]

Well, some of us can consolidate! Then we can all go on the island together and listen to some great music! We'll arrange for a rescue in = say = a week?

Oh, and one of us needs to bring the CD player - and we'll all have to bring batteries!

Nobody seems to like my music though...

[CanOBeans]

OK, as long as we're going to have access to CD players and DVD players, let's not forget to bring along our computers too! There will be ADSL there, right? And a refrigerator for ice cream, desert islands are usually hot. Hmm, maybe a nice fan...a blender for making margaritas...when do we leave?!?

I do, I do, I can even sing along with you! I owned every Smiths album and Psychedelic Furs album available when I was in college! It was all on tape though and I never got around to replacing them with CDs -- maybe someday I will. I still like them a lot, just wouldn't be on my top 5 list anymore.

[Ms. Mom]

I was the same way! It was just recently that I got into this music again! So, I went and purchased the CD's at a second hand store (very cheeeeeep!).

Also, my sister is making a series of CD's that she calls Vinal Rescue and she's burning all the songs we used to listen too! Cabera Voltair, Ministry, Bauhause, The Cure - oh, it's like being transported on a time machine!

So, sing it with me sister!

[Etoile]

I like your music too Ms. Mom. It's all I used to listen to. But I thought I'd want to have some less depressing music on the island so I wouldn't be so sad to be stranded! :LOL

[Ms. Mom]

I know - I keep listening to 'My Baby Said' and 'Book of Days' and crying lately - I think I need to go back to something more up-beat!
