You will be stranded alone for 5 years, with plenty of food and water. You are allowed 3 music albums/compilations etc. and nothing else to entertain you. Which 3 do you choose? For me I choose, in no particular order: Dookie/Green Day; Moondance/Van Morrison; Excitable Boy/Warren Zevon. You?

    Marc Cohn - Marc Cohn, John Hiatt -Bring The Family, Bruce Springsteen - Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Live 1975-1985. I need 10, but I'm in Ski compliance! Others have mention contenders for my top 10, including Van Morrison - Moondance, U2 - Joshua Tree, and CCR - Chronicles. I hope the audio equipment rocks!

    If I could maximize my entertainment by having box set compilations it would be: Ken Burns Jazz: The story of America's music Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era 1998 box No Thanks! The 70's Punk Rebellion If limited to single artist compilations: Neil Young Decade Wilco Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Bob Marley Legend

    I love all the music mentioned but, if I’m going to listen to the same music one thousand times, it has to be something timeless. Something that can be studied with multiple layers to it. I’ll go with Beethoven ( his 9th symphony ), Bach, and Mozart.

    Since you said compilations were okay, I would go with The Eagles Greatest Hits, Queen Greatest Hits, and Elton John Greatest Hits.

    @Cash I love Anita Baker’s Rapture 1. Nas Illmatic (By far the best album ever) 2. A tribe called quest-Low end Theory 3. A tribe called quest-midnight marauders I would say I’m a rock guy at heart but these are albums where I truly liked virtually every song off the album. No filler.

    I’m sorry that the guy got hurt. But . . . he approached an advancing police line, he was warned several times to get back, he didn’t, it looked like he was reaching for one of the cops, and he was pushed back. It didn’t look like the kind of push that should have caused someone of normal physical abilities to fall down and get hurt, especially that severely. What are the cops supposed to do if some refuses several orders to move back? Just say never mind and let him through? Then the stupid police put out a statement saying he just tripped and fell, without mentioning he had been shoved so now it looks like an attempted cover up.

    The "stranded alone for 5 years" proviso automatically calls for "the best of" albums. Pick favorite decade or genre. Oops, cop out answer here. Delving further into question: If I'm being stranded for 5 years, I'd want music to suit 3 different moods. So here's the moods, and "The Best Of" artists. MELLOW/CHILL MOOD: John Barry, Frank Sinatra. Can't go wrong with Barry, but being alone for 5 yrs. makes one want a human voice, so I threw Sinatra into the consideration mix. KICK ASS MOOD: The Who, Grand Funk Railroad. Tommy is a great Who Album, but I like many of their other songs, so the greatest of is appropriate. GFR is underrated, I prefer their Gimme Shelter rendition to the Rolling Stones version. IN BETWEEN MOOD: The Ventures, Beach Boys. Love those Ventures instrumentals, but just might like a human voice once in a while. HONORABLE MENTIONS: Beatles, Chicago, Alan Parsons Project, Louis Armstrong.

    I could easily live with your 3 choices. Saw Alice Cooper and the Ramones live.

    Wow, that's a hard question. I'd want music that spanned a long period of time. 1. Led Zep - Houses of the Holy. Very few bands can pull off a switch from the unique style that made them famous to going back to the rock 'n roll roots that paved the way for them. 2. The Cars - Candy-O - Great music, plus I have something to jerk off to when looking at the album cover. 3. Nirvana - In Utero - No explanation needed. If I could beg for a 4th choice and they'd give it to me: 4. Pink Floyd - The Wall - The only reason it's not in my top three is that I've listened to it so many times I can almost hear every bit of it in my mind.

    minnow: You get 40 demerits! I don't recall Ski mentioning 3 Reel to Reel Tapes to satisfy the requirement! For such a stickler on form and content of reviews - I expect better!

    @rockie- OP mentioned "albums/compilations. The "best of" could be considered a compilation. Even with a long tape or multiple CD's. You now get to go to the back of the class and repeat "Reading Comprehension 101" course.

    Marvin Gaye - What's Going On U2 - Achtung Baby (Unforgettable Fire = close second) Beatles - 1967-1970 (compilation - the blue one) Geez, skibum, do a guy a favor and give us more than 3 @gobstopper: I'd take High 'n' Dry over Hysteria any day @minnow: I'll give GFR's Gimme Shelter cover a listen, the Stones version is one of my favorite songs

    I read it quite precisely and chose to stick with the model, as exhibited by the author. If you don't see it as putting restraints on a passion (a number of us have), then you can interpret compilations, as including one's home brew concoction, I was amused by Justin Tolook's store bought offerings to get more variety and yours as well!

    @yahtzee74. Thanks man. Can't go wrong with Exit...Stage Left. Or any live Deep Purple with the Mark II lineup. Live songs don't get better than Child in Time with the classic DP lineup.

    ^ Bang! The live version of Magic Bus is a longtime fave that brings up lots of great memories! I saw this thread when it first started but I couldn't name just 3. First time back since the beginning and don't have time to read it but I'll try to on my next visit whenever that may be. ;-)
