Deserted Island Music

You can choose up to three artists, no more. You have access to their entire catalogs, so choose wisely.

I would have an extremely hard time picking because I have a pretty wide taste in music. Considering that I might never hear anything else...
It would have to be something timeless.. I can say with reasonable certainty that Pink Floyd and Megadeth are strong contenders. Nothing relaxes me quite like Sade. Some Beethoven would be tempting...moonlight sonata is the best music ever for brooding, which I would probably be doing a whole lot of over the course of time. I don't think I would have much use for party music in this situation. Maybe some Nickelback...I know...I said Nickelback; not jokingly, either. Those dudes are actually pretty good. I'm a huge rap fan and it would be terribly difficult to pass up on some golden age 90's classics. I also dig some country too, but idk if I could listen to Garth Brooks or Dixie Chicks until my dying breath-LOL.


What would you people bring with you? How hard would it be to pick and why would that be what you brought?

Grateful Dead
Willie Nelson
Herbie Hancock

Did you say...yes you did say...Nickelback?

Mr. Bungle.
Frank Zappa.
Jimi Hendrix.
First ones that pop to mind.
This is hard.
I imagine I would construct my own noise makers.

Opeth
Dead Can Dance
Pink Floyd

Rolling stones
Bob Marley
and the third im undecided on.

on a side note i was thinking about just how amazing technology is today and how much data can be stored on a tiny microsd card. something the size of a pinkie fingernail and yet it can hold hundreds of thousands of hours of music. with just one device and the means to charge it u could have a lifetimes supply of music to the point that u would most likely die before hearing the same song more then a couple times if it worked its way through the entirety of the playlist. all stored on something the size of about one square centimeter

Black Sabbath
GNR "Guns&Roses"
Jimi Hendrix
S&F OP.And stars for the above posts..

Pink Floyd and Bob Marley for sure because they have massive back catalogues and lots of variety. I'd have to have a female artist or band too just to hear a woman's voice out there. Amy Winehouse if she'd made more music or Alice Phoebe Lou for the same reason. In fact, I'll take Roberta Flack for her beautiful, soft voice and classic songs.

www.bbc.co.uk...

- Buckethead (Dude has released over 300 studio albums, and I still haven't found a single one that I disliked. That alone already provides a lot of variety.)

- Lustre

- Imbaru

This was actually harder than I expected. I'd probably regret one or two choices over time, but for now I think those three would do.

Which one ?

Your link brings up a shedload of artists ...

a reply to: Thorsen

Hard to exclude excellence ! 😉

a reply to: Timely

I really wanted to add Ulver and Sangre de Muerdago too. There are so many great bands out there, having to choose only three is cruel.

a reply to: Thorsen

Indeed !

Stop thinking about it.
It will do your head in ..
As one great tune is pushed aside by another memory.

Menaga di miserie !

Judas Priest
Enya
John Williams (the composer of Star Wars, Indy Jones...)

Nice.
Zappa is top of my list for sure
lets round it out with Duke Ellington and The Beatles

These are the ones I would choose today. Ask me tomorrow and I might choose differently ; )

Strauss



The Lennon Sisters sang a lot of standards over a lot of time so there would be a large variety plus singing in harmony!



Who doesn't love the Beach Boys !? And even more harmony singing

Considering our Cape Town water crisis I can identify with "desert islands" (unfortunately it's not deserted or an island).
But got two days off, and with my rugby-ball buddy (a bit like a big pineapple, just not as prickly) I can do this:

I would only need this one album:
