I'm torn between Maroon by Barenaked Ladies or Gordon by Barenaked Ladies. Or maybe Everything to Everyone, Barenaked Ladies.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Ros, or Dark Side Of The Moon.

Personally, I'd go with Octavarium by Dream Theater. Goes through a whole range of moods, so I could listen to any song for any mood.

This!

Or 'Kind Of Blue' by Miles

that mika CD "life in cartoon motion" XD
dont ask why, i think it'll keep me from insanity that little bit longer than other CD's

I think it'd have the opposite effect with myself.

i see your point, it can drive others insane
my theory is if i act insane, chances are it'll take longer for me to become fully insane, or something O-o
i might change my cd anyway
cant we just take our ipods or mp3players? XD

The album Touched by the Crimson King by Demons & Wizards. Both CDs, mind you.

I know a band called King Crimson, who have an album called "in the court of the crimson king"
Any relation?

It's a tie... Song of the Blackbird by William Elliott Whitmore, Black Holes and Revelations by Muse, and... perhaps... Bob Dylan's first album. Or a Bob Dylan compilation. A greatest hits, if you will.

I was torn between "Absolution" and "Black Holes and Revelations," but BHR has Starlight. It'd be quite poignant.

Turn! Turn! Turn! by the Byrds. No question.

And apparently Firefox can fuck off, as it's telling me Byrds is not a word. What kind of tossy internet browser are you, that you insist one of the best and most neglected bands of the 60s isn't real?

If I weren't set on the Byrds, I would probably have said the collection of early year Rolling Stones singles. Possibly Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service or The Wall if I expanded the number

One of those compilation ablums with songs by different artists all from the late 50's rock era. Which song exactly wouldn't matter as long as it had at least one Buddy Holly song on it.

It would have to be either "Wave of Mutilation" by Pixies or "Insecticide" by Nirvana.

One has "Debaser","Here Comes Your Man"and"Holiday" but the other has the orgasm of grunge that was "Dive" and "Sliver".

Goddammit i just can't choose.

probably Doolittle by the Pixies
possibly My Aim is True by Elvis Costello

Also about half of the albums listed here make me wince.

He said 'CD-player' not 'Record-player'. (The inner audiophile in me much prefers the original vinyl).

Boy, one album to listen to forever...

Toss-up between The Velvet Underground's Loaded (because I know I would never get tired of it) and Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde. Blonde on Blonde would be a great choice simply because I could spend the rest of my days endlessly breaking down the complex lyrics of the songs.

Incidentally, why the hell doesn't Firefox recognize "blonde"?

Hellion25:
Has to be Appetite For Destruction by Guns n' Roses for me. Top to bottom its mt favourite album of all time and after so many years I'm still not sick of it. I would then fashion a guitar out of some wood and coconut thread (whatever the hell that string is called on coconuts outer shells) and teach myself all the songs.

Can I be stranded on your island too and fashion a set of drums out of cocnuts and other desert island comodities? We could have our own desert island band!!

But for albums I'd take Appetite for Destruction - Guns N Roses OR The Battle of Los Angeles - Rage Against The Machine

Either Wish you were here or The Wall by Pink Floyd.
I would also mention Dark side of the moon as a close third.

Either

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens (actually, the proper title is Come On, Feel The Illinoise)
or
Together We're Heavy by the Polyphonic Spree

Sufjan is simply one of the greatest songwriters I've ever heard. I'd really encourage anyone to listen to his music.

The Polyphonic Spree are a band of twenty something people who are all really happy. Their music has a kind of energy that you won't find anywhere else, because nobody else has that many instruments. They're awesome.

Certainly. We just need to find a bassist, another guitarist and singer and we'd be the Desert Island tribute to Guns n' Roses. It'll be awesome.

Aenima or Lateralus by Tool, especially as you need as much time as a deserted island can give you to digest it all. Also, where can i get my hands on one of these batteries with the infinite power of christ? Im sure my 360 controller could still drain the fucker.

Oh thats an easy question, I'd bring the soundtrack from High School Musical. Eventually, playing it would either give me the strength of will to escape the infernal cd and either swim or tunnel through the planet to safety, or would create such a vaccuum of talent in the region that someone would be alerted to my prescence on the island and promptly come with a boat to slap me in the face for even placing that infernal disk in the CD player. Then I offer to turn it off only if they agree to take me back to a mainland country. Problem solved.

Beethoven's random bouts of insanity. Nothing can beat them.

Though for a more personal touch I will gladly go with Iron Maiden's "Live After Death". No, I don't care about the fact that it's a live album. It's packed with their best songs up until that point in their career, they were at the top of their game, and damnit...it has good memories that go along with it.
