5 CD's You Could Live the Rest of Your Life With

Prez · 11-09-2009, 01:29 PM

Okay, so you're being strategically placed on an island with only a CD player (so old, inorite?) and 5 CD's.

Which ones do you take? As new albums get released and your opinions change, change your answers. RIGHT NOW, for me, it would be:

1)Mantis-Umphrey's Mcgee
2)Man At Work-Colin Hays
3)Dark Side of the Moon-Pink Floyd
4)In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Ear:3-Coheed & Cambria
5)Unplugged-Eric Clapton

space-man · 11-09-2009, 01:31 PM

1) Stand Up - Dave Matthews Band
2) Everyday - Dave Matthews Band
3) Extra copy of SU
4) Extra copy of Everyday
5) Wintersox

I'd probably leave behind my burnt CD that has all the versions of Machead.

ComeNFrmTheCold · 11-09-2009, 01:35 PM

1. Jeff Buckley ~ Grace
2. Arcade Fire ~ Funeral
3. Cold Roses ~ Ryan Adams & The Cardinals
4. Sufjan Stevens ~ Illinoise
5. Fleetwood Mac ~ Rumors

Quickly thinking, without putting too much thought in it.

doesmusicbest · 11-09-2009, 01:36 PM

Do albums with multiple discs count as 1 or multiple CD's?

We'll say one. If it came in one cd case, it's one album.

K?thxbye

clayj41 · 11-09-2009, 01:39 PM

Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
U2 - The Joshua Tree
Radiohead - OK Computer
Arcade Fire - Funeral
The Killers - Hot Fuss

lindZ629 · 11-09-2009, 01:39 PM

Sweet choice with Colin Hay.

As for me, right now I'd probably go with
American Football - s/t
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
John Legend - Get Lifted
Billy Joel - The Stranger
Elliott Smith - Either/Or

Shit forgot Ray LaMontagne's Till The Sun Turns Black...maybe switch Elliott Smith with that.

doesmusicbest · 11-09-2009, 01:40 PM

Off the top of my head:

DMB ~ Central Park
Coldplay ~ A Rush Of Blood To The Head
D+T ~ Radio City
Death Cab ~ Plans
Radiohead ~ OK Computer

Original, amirite?

kjzz12 · 11-09-2009, 01:42 PM

Fuh, this is hard.

Springsteen - Live at the Hammersmith Odeon, '75
Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones
White Stripes - White Blood Cells
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
Bob Dylan - Live at Royal Albert Hall

If live is not okay, make them Born to Run and, uh, and uh, a 60's Dylan album. I'm leaning towards Highway 61 Revisited.

bigeyedfish190 · 11-09-2009, 01:42 PM

Sufjan-Illinois 73:52
The Beatles-White Album 93:35
Grizzly Bear-Yellow House 50:00
Jeff Buckley-Live at Sin-e 156:00
The Mars Volta-Frances the Mute 76:57

Other than Grizzly Bear, those are some long albums. All of them are endlessly fascinating to me.

Bartndrpleez · 11-09-2009, 01:42 PM

Led Zeppelin - How the West Was Won
Cave In - Jupiter
Oceansize - Everyone Into Position
Dave Matthews Band - Live in Central Park
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

saygdbye4134 · 11-09-2009, 01:47 PM

1) DMB - RR '95
2) Third Eye Blind - Semi Charmed Life
3) Tool - Aenima
4) Radiohead - The Bends
5) Better than ezra - how does your garden grow?

edit: this is today, this could honestly change tonight or tomorrow.

kjzz12 · 11-09-2009, 01:48 PM

There are some BAD lists here.

LadyMadonna68 · 11-09-2009, 01:49 PM

1. Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
2. Dave Matthew Band - Under the Table and Dreaming
3. John Mayer - Continuum
4. Ben Kweller - Ben Kweller
5. Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend

Number 5 may seem kind of weak, it's only been out for 2 years but I can't get tired of it. I'm constantly going back to this CD

Leonard Cohen - Live in London
Pink Floyd - Meddle (only because I've heard DSOTM so many damn times; and WYWH, Animals, and The Wall are too dark thematically to have to listen to for the rest of your life.)
Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home
Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street
Arcade Fire - Neon Bible

Great list mate

Only one I don't like personally is Sufjan. I've never gotten him.

On second look, I might switch it for Abbey Road. Yeah, let's do that:

It is all preference. And I'm just stating my preference for not listening to several of these lists.

chevman · 11-09-2009, 02:39 PM

I would burn 5 CDs full of mp3s and listen to them on mp3 enabled CD player.

BOO-YAH BEYOTCHES!?!!?!?
