[Question Of The Week] What is your "desert island" album?

Primus - Sailing the Seas of Cheese
4 0 ReplyI'll go with something current. 'The Loveliest Time' by Carly Rae Jepsen. People around me seem to like this album a lot...
For the rest, I'll just bang some coconuts against each other to create sound. This way I'll become the best tribute band for various classic works on the island. Everyone's welcome!

Distinguishing Marks by Fingerprintz. I've been listening to that album since 1985 and it never got old.
...even though apparently I did
2 0 ReplyI'd have to go with the album that's verbal instructions for how to build a two way radio out of a coconut and seaweed.
2 0 ReplyI can't figure out if I'd want something with vocals to give me a sense of companionship, or something without vocals so it doesn't drive me insane.
With vocals: Grateful Dead - Cornell 5/8/77
Without vocals: John Coltrane - Live at Village Vanguard

Incubus - Morning View
2 0 ReplyOff the top of my head, Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
2 0 Replyreally hard to say, but the first one that jumped to mind is Miles Davis - Filles de Kilimanjaro
2 0 ReplyI always appreciated Davis, but never got into his work. Love jazz, but jazz-jazz? Tough one for me.
1 0 ReplyIf you're coming from a rock background you could check out In a Silent Way or A Tribute to Jack Johnson, and if you like those, go to Bitches Brew.

1 0 ReplyThe Wind at Four to Fly, by The Disco Biscuits
But I'd have that Basis on repeat
1 0 ReplyI think you have an error in your question. My first thought when you said "desert album" album was to take that literally and say Mdou Moctar - Ilana: The Creator.
But I suppose you mean "desert island" album so I'll say Sigur Rós - Takk...
I also thought about The Avalanches - Since I Left You but I fear that Frontier Psychiatrist will drive me insane.
1 0 Replywelp, that's what I get for posting first thing in the morning DURING coffee and not after....
1 0 ReplyAt least you can edit the title! Unlike that other place
