Desert Island Discs

Post by Ogg »

I stole the idea from lurking within the 'vintagerock.com forums.

"Okay. Here's the predicament:

After days floating listlessly in the South Pacific seas, your tidy little raft washes up on the shore of a small deserted island. After taking care of the fire issue, and the fresh water issue, and the food issue, you discover -- while digging amongst the fallen palm fronds -- a foggy brown beer bottle. Lamentably, it is empty. Still -- ever the optimist -- you figure, "Heck, at least I should see what kind of beer I missed out on." So you try to rub the sand and dirt off of the label to ascertain the brewer of this long-since-devoured libation, when, suddently, a long-haired, tie-dyed wearing Jimi appears in a cloud of strangely pungent and vaguely familiar smoke.

"Far out! What's happening, man?" The ethereal hippie inquires, looking around.

You explain your situation and ask for your requisite three wishes, hoping to get the heck off this island, to which the Jimi shrugs.

"Sorry dude, all I've got is this coconut-powered 5-disc changer," he offers, apologetically. "But I can conjure up 5 discs for you to pass the time until help arrives. Any five discs you want, man."

So... my question to you is: What five discs do you ask for? The Jimi's a pretty groovy cat (as you may have surmised), but he's pretty adamant about it being only five physical discs (something about the RIAA and him already having a record and all...). So which ones would you choose?

I'll tell you mine, if you tell me yours"

So, five albums eh?

1. Rush 'Moving Pictures'
2. Jethro Tull 'Living in the Past'
3. Kate Bush 'The Kick Inside'
4. Porcupine Tree 'In Absentia'
5. HusK 'Archives' :-)


Tough choice I must admit.

Alice Cooper - From the Inside

The Doors - Strange Days

Jethro Tull - Songs from the Wood

The Kinks - Something Else
Eagles - Hotel California
Queen - A Night at the Opera

Jimi needs to get with the times and let us have our 30 gig MP3 players. LOL

Okay, in reality I would have to ask for some time to decide, but I am just going to wing this because otherwise it will take days.

Ozzy Osbourne -- Tribute

Rush -- AFTK

The Listening -- The Rock and Roll Worship Circus Becomes The Listening

Judas Priest -- British Steel

Phil Keaggy -- Time

I know the list would be different any other day, and I would surely kick myself for what I didn't choose. *siiiiiiigh*

I thought about going with the greatest hits angle, but didn't. And I did leave out my beloved Dio, but Ronnie will just have to understand that he will always be in my heart. And Schu's!
