Desert Island Discs

[888888]

Ok, I know the thread title may sound lame, but I was surprised that I could not find a similar OT thread already. I decided to start one myself cause these are always fun especially for big music fans like myself.

Anyway, for those who aren't familiar with this game, the idea is to list 10 music albums that you would want to have if you get stranded on a desert island forever with only an audio player. In other words, if you could only listen to ten albums for the rest of your life, what would they be?

Here are the rules (I made these up so this is nothing official):

Album has to be real, it cannot be something you made up or a mix CD. You cannot combine two short albums into one just because they will fit on our modern day CD-Rs or even DL DVDRs.

Double albums like The Beatles' White Album or Cream's Wheels of Fire are allowed but if you have more than 4 double albums, you can only have 9 albums on your list.

Box sets do not count as one album. Each box set CD is an album. Same for greatest hits collections and the like.

An album cannot be longer than 80 minutes. Nothing too long or that would defeat the point.

Only audio, no video. As much as I would like to have the Led Zeppelin double DVD on my island, it is not allowed.

I will post my discs later because I need some inspiration from you guys.
