(ok....i hope i'm not repeating anything here....i did a search for this topic and it didn't come up...)

but,
if you were stranded on a desert island....and happened to have a fully functional stereo system with you.... (cuz, you know, it could be possible....) ...what 20 albums would you wish to have with you?
(ONLY 20. but you can cheat and include double albums if you wish.)

I'm not cheating as much as being lazy. Here's 25.

I can't remember yesterday....I just remember, doing...what they told me....told me...told me...told me....

18 years later, the whole 55 minute album gives me chills every single listen.....Must have played it a few thousand times.....Have never gone through a spell where i was tired of it either....

are you single?
<---do you think i'm pretty?
does it matter that i'm married?

i'm too lazy to come up with a list, but it would likely be the only other one on this board to have the stone roses AND the grateful dead on it.

i think i need to find myself a copy of that and give it a listen soon.
thanks for reminding me of that album.

Five, if I had to go today:

London Calling
Fables of the Reconstruction
I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got (hopefully I could take that to heart)
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Live Through This

I'm going to be depressed and angry about being stuck on some lame island with only five albums.
