Your "Desert Island" Album

[Alexanderc]

For two decades this has been my answer to that question and I haven’t found any reason to change my mind.

How about you?

Alex - a related question I love to ask musicians: which album do you most wish you had played on? Might not be your favorite piece in itself, but some performances have such obvious fun and joy and satisfaction and achievement. Do you have an opinion?

And if you had picked In Rainbows , you would have been right ;-)

Its an interesting question as obviously nobody has one favourite album. But the one that continues to open up and show me new facets is :

Really really tough question. I have all my life felt more like a "song person" than an "album person". And I still feel like I have heard so little music to make such "definitive" choice. But hey, castaways usually don't choose suitable time and place as well So maybe if I'm hardpressed, Susanne Sundfor - Ten love songs (to me, consistent blend of euphonious songs acompanied by one of my most favourite female voices). Maybe a little too "poppy" for her other fans, but who cares, everyone's taste is different.

Considering classical music and me, this is a big gap waiting to be filled, sadly..

I'd prefer have 3, so I can have quality and party,
but if only one I go with party

Did you get any common answers?

I find that most orchestral players kind of bend the question and talk about conductors they wish they had worked with. Jazz players tend to quote one of the great albums from the 50s or 60s, with Coltrane generally the #1 choice of BL. Rock players tend to quote great performances of their own, and then lament there was no recording gear present.

Laughing at the rockers and the one that got away. Coulda been big if the tape had been running for that one.

I know ... and I'm the same - mysteriously all my best gigs went unrecorded.

I debated putting Exile as mine. So much fun and greatness in that 4 album run.
