Scenario is you are stuck on a desert island, you can pick one record, it can't be a greatest hits or anything like that what do you pick.
I will go first Shock Troops by Cock Sparrer it is in my opinion a perfect album every song is excellent, a true masterwork that lays the foundation for future oi/punk albums to come.
This isn't suppose to be an easy choice just go with the one you would pick now.

Meddle by Pink Floyd, an album with the guitar work of David Gilmour explored psychedelic rock as we tripped on psychedelics in our hippie era.
cool this is also a great thread to get ideas of albums to check out new stuff. psychedelic rock may not be my bag but I love new stuff to check out.
^^^ Good choice. Is there weed on this island?
Led Zeppelin IV
Kind of an obvious, cliche pick, but I'm the one stuck alone on the island
JohnSmith69 is cultivating some awesome gonja on the west side of the island, mikey02.
Look this is a desert island but it has all the booze,weed, other drugs you could want, not to mention women. Keep the albums flowing. Someone bring some Black Sabbath to island too, it;s kind of amazing how much ground they broke. This is coming from a guy who thinks the Ramones are gods so lets do this.
The Yes Album 2112-Rush
Purple Rain by Prince
Probably, I'd go for Simon & Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water
Faith Nation - Subtle Violence
Literally 25 years later I can still listen to this from start to finish and start again it is that good. Local Jax band I lucked into seeing at the Landing in downtown Jax one night and was blown away. AFAIK it's the only album they made and the guys then changed their sound to bluesy soul/southern rock and changed their name to Mofro if anyone has ever heard of them. They're still around putting out albums but Mofro just isn't my kind of music.
Faith Nation OTOH was a kick ass band
Rite of Spring, by igor Stravinsky, played by The Cleveland Orchestra, conducted by Pierre Boulez. SACD or vinyl record.
runner up: Stravinsky's Firebird Suite.
I mean, if that's literally the only record I can have. That's the one I want to keep. I'm also bringing my turntable. I have this one --> michell-engineering.co.uk
vinyl is where it's at, that has the real sound
I just want to know who gets stuck peddling the professor's bicycle to power the turntable.....
It is either Bat Out Of Hell or Born to Run for me.
seaboardrr you are alone no getting off the island, your penalty for getting off track is mrs. seaboardrr is with me on the island now. Don't worry I will be a gentleman
I guess we do it old country (Italy) and just play ukulele or concertina in the evenings with family, lol! We don't need no electricity!
"seaboardrr you are alone no getting off the island, your penalty for getting off track is mrs. seaboardrr is with me on the island now. Don't worry I will be a gentleman"
huh?
"It is either Bat Out Of Hell or Born to Run for me"
Great choices. "Born to Run" was a close second choice for me.
I might go with Bob Seeger's "Mainstreet" album or possibly The Rolling Stones "Sticky Fingers"
I came back to this thread after racking my brain and not being able to decide on one so i'll just say there's some good choices above. Alright, for another option maybe something like the best of U2.
25....funny you mention that Stingy Fingers album....that's what I've been listening to the past few days
Probably Radiohead "OK Computer"
Or maybe the eponymous album by Blur
Both are pretty brilliant, though I think OK Computer is a bit stronger.
I'd miss early Oasis and a case could be made for "Definitely Maybe" but I doubt I'd go for that over Radiohead or Blur
If only one of those albums had a song about how ace dachshunds are! ;)
only @GoVikings has the taste to pick something by the greatest musical geneious in history: my buddy prince
you people do know that prince and i had a three way with kim bassetter, dont you? but there was no crossing swords. neither prince nor i are damn faggots
