Desert Island Discography

thought this could be a fun topic. you can only have the collection of 10 artists. you will be able to listen to no other music for the remainder of your existence. sad i know. this will include all albums and bootlegs. pretty much anything you can get your hands on by the artists you choose. who are you taking?

edit: looks like the lists are getting a little more interesting. if i was stranded on an island with some of you, i would probably hang myself from a tree after a month.

also, i guess i didn't note that side projects would be included. so say if you choose my morning jacket, which i regrettably left in my past life, you will get to bring along your monsters of folk album, the harrison tribute album, the new multitudes, carl's all birds say, etc. basically, in pearl jam terms, you can bring your into the wild sdtrk with you as long as you have pearl jam on your list.

if you break the rules, you will suffer alone on your island for the remainder of your miserable existence with no music and bad food.

    Here's my list:

    Nine Inch Nails
    Ben Harper
    Pearl Jam
    David Bowie
    Janis Joplin
    Alice In Chains
    Soundgarden
    Led Zeppelin
    Deftones
    Pink Floyd

    I did this without straining my brain, so hopefully I didn't miss any obvious artist.

    no big surprises so far. dewie, are you a recent mmj convert? i think i remember you being a bit critical of them in the past, or am i thinking of someone else?

    personally, i wouldn't want to listen to nothing but rock music for the rest of my life, but that's just me.

    i'll have to take some time to ponder my own list.

    I've been really into them since a little before Evil Urges. Can't deny that it took me awhile to really come around to them. I've probably made comments here and there that could lead people to believe that I don't appreciate even my favorite bands.
