h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

My choices would be:-

i)Wish You Were Here: Pink Floyd, ii) The Bends: Radiohead, iii) The Soft Bulletin: The Flaming Lips, iv) Are You Experienced: Jimmy Hendrix, v) Blue Lines: Massive Attack.

What would your choices be?

Doolittle - Pixies
The White Stripes - the White Stripes
The Best of Thelonious Monk - Thelonious Monk
Mingus Ah Um - Charles Mingus
Kid A - Radiohead

5 of a variety-

Buddy Guy - about anything
Phoebe Snow - Something Real
Ry Cooder - Borderline
R Carlos Nakai - Canyon Trilogy
Beatles - Rubber soul
Cat Stevens - Tea for the Tillerman

Blimey apart from Beatles ans Cat Stevens I aint heard of any of the others Oh yes.....and White Stripes but dont know any of their music Must be getting old

Mine are all old

On second thought, I'd take the White Album instead of Mingus Ah Um.

...really tough choices, but I think these eclectic choices will have to be the ones:

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
Moon River - Paul Robeson
I'm Going Slightly Mad - Queen
Mozart's Requiem
True Colours - Cyndi Lauper

Prideth

Oops! !

It's not Moon River, it's Old Man River.

Prideth

I'll go for:

1. Blood on the Tracks - Bob Dylan
2. Tomorrow The Green Grass - The Jayhawks
3. Utopia Parkway - Fountains of Wayne
4. Automatic for the People - REM
5. A Journey into Low-Fi - Negative Feedback

Oh, alright, so that last one is one of mine

My luxury item will be a guitar.

Yes! I knew this would be an interesting thread.

I would take:
1 The best of M People - M People
2 Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman
3 Who I Am - Beverly Knight
4 Once More With Feeling - BtVS soundtrack
5 Evanescence - Fallen

Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions

DeLaSoul - Three Feet High and Rising

Radiohead - The Bends

Hey, well, I'll do it again.

Deckndrumsnrocknroll - Propellorheads
The Best of Part Two - Bob Dylan
Bat Out of Hell II - Meatloaf
Rhapsody in Blue - Gershwin
On The Night - Dire Straits

I'm sure those bore no comparison to my list the last time I played, mind you.
