GreatGreenOne77 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 would prefer to take at least 100 albums to a desert island. would also want to take some albums released within the past 5 years. also i'm assuming we are alone on the island. if we are with others on the island, i would revise this heavily to include more party music. aphex twin - richard d. james album black sabbath - paranoid david bowie - low the field - from here we go sublime funkadelic - maggot brain outkast - aquemini pink floyd - meddle pixies - doolittle radiohead - kid a ween - the mollusk +1 for Richard D James. That guy made new mazes in my mind when I listened to him while tripping ++1 for Maggot Brain..just cause +++1 for Ween, but why the Mollusk above something like, say, White Pepper or Chocolate & Cheese? I'm always curious what draws people to Ween since it's always a certain different something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot hardly argue that one. My friend Sam introduced me to them and to Zappa, so he and I both are really happy they are playing together again next year. His favorite is 12 Golden Country Greats. If he gets a few beers in him, you will most certainly get an impromptu version of Mister Richard Smoker out of him lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mars Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I actually quite hate making 'top' anything lists, because I can't make decisions. This list leaves out so many of my favourite musicians and feels so incomplete as far as even touching on enough different styles or moods.The more I think about it, the more I would add and it would get tougher to decide, so I tried to not over-think it (ha!). But every album here I can listen to the shit out of straight through and never get tired of. It is probably a pretty odd list for some of you, but whatever. Oh and I broke the rules because there are 11: Tool - Lateralus The Cure - Seventeen Seconds Faith No More - Real thing Beatles - White album NIN - Pretty Hate Machine Massive Attack - Mezzanine Led Zeppelin – Houses of the Holy Tea Party - Edges of Twilight Pearl Jam - Ten Dead Can Dance - Toward the Within Belly - Star caninesapien 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrewest Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I suck with top ten all time lists. I'm not well versed in "classic" albums of years past as I focus most attention on mostly modern music. My "prime music listening years" didn't even start until about 2002 when I was 19. Most everything prior to that was radio rock crap. So, in saying that, here are the 10 albums I'd most likely take to a desert island with me, right now. Cloudkicker - Subsume (It's younger than 5 years old, but I don't care. it's my favorite instrumental album, period. I like it better than Beacons, so I can't go with Beacons) Deftones - White Pony (I always struggle between this one and Diamond Eyes, but I'll go with White Pony) Murder By Death - In Bocca Al Lupo (Another band I could choose any of 3-4 of their albums, but this is my favorite start to finish listen) Muse - Hullabaloo (Probably another no-no because it's a live album, but it's honest to God probably the album I listen to the most. It's Muse at their best, and the setlist is incredible. Plus I'm a live album whore, so I have to bring one if it's a desert island) Russian Circles - Geneva (My post-rock gateway drug and still a favorite of mine) Dredg - Leitmotif (more raw and seamless than El Cielo) *Fear Factory - Demanufacture (a friend of mine would jam some FF back in the day and I always loved it...this became the first real heavy album I ever got into *Taproot - Gift (A friggin Taproot album in someone's top 10? WTF? Yeah, I know, but I was obsessed with this album when it came out. They became the first band I really went all out and searched B-sides and demos for. Even today when listening to this album, it holds up for me. Everything after this album was pretty much crap. It was my favorite of the *gasp* nu-metal era. I don't care.) La Dispute - Wildlife (Some say Jordan's lyrics are over the top, but this album blew me away from the first time I heard it. It still gives me the feels. I think it's a perfect album and the concept is executed flawlessly.) Damien Rice - 9 (I'll need some sad bastard music (since Wildlife isn't depressing enough) from an excellent singer/songwriter, so I'm taking my favorite from Damien Rice) *Exclusively nostalgic picks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Deftones - White Pony (I always struggle between this one and Diamond Eyes, but I'll go with White Pony) Of the 2, you made the right choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Of the 2, you made the right choice. Yeah, it's hard to go with anything other than White Pony. But I love Diamond Eyes. Depending on my mood, I sometimes rank that one ahead of White Pony. I just love how raw it feels at times, yet there are some "tender" moments on there. I think it's a solid mix of many of their different styles over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
