OK, I haven’t seen one of these in a while… I was listening to an old favorite album, and I thoght to get the word out.
Please name 5 albums that would go to your desert island exile!
My 5:
[ol]
[li]Workbook -Bob Mould[/li][li]Unforgettable Fire - U2[/li][li]Still Feel Gone -Uncle Tupelo[/li][li]Summerteeth -Wilco[/li][li]Girlfriend -Matthew Sweet[/li][/ol]
I know you’ll have more then 5, but you have a very small backpack, and you need to bring your top 5 books, right? 
-Cem
Live At Carnegie Hall - Renaissance
The River - Bruce Springsteen
Beethoven’s 9th Symphony - Von Karajan/Berlin Philharmonic, Deutsche Grammaphone, 1973
Eat A Peach - Allman Brothers
Time Signatures - Dave Brubeck
Easy Peasy!
Rush - Hold Your Fire
Marillion - Misplaced Childhood
Rush - Vapor Trails
Rush - 2112 (Sense a pattern here?)
Queen - Innuendo (So I can listen to it and become depressed enough to kill myself since I am stuck on a desert island forever! 
)
Cheers,
G
Five is about right…
Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes
Blue Rodeo - Five Days In July

Richard Thompson - Daring Adventures
Tom Waits - The Heart of Saturday Night
The Beatles - Revolver

I always wonder about this. Let’s say this is for real. You really are going to be stranded on a desert island and you really are bringing these albums with you. You folks who only have albums with male singers on them, would you really, REALLY AND TRULY, want to spend the rest of your life never hearing a female voice again? Really? I used to think, back when I read Pulse’s lists, that it was a gay thing, only wanting to hear male voices. But then I met actual gay people, and that’s not gay. None of the gays I’ve ever met would only want to hear male voices. So what is it? You ask me (I know no one did), that’s warped. Never mind that those may be your favorite albums. Fine and all, but when you answered this, did you think about spending the rest of your life only hearing guy’s voices?
Anyway, keeping it to one album per artist…
(I changed that last one about 10 times, but figured, hey, it’s a double-album so would provide more listening per selection. My alternate would be Jane Siberry’s When I Was A Boy, but ask me again tomorrow…)
