An album of jazz stuff with obnoxiously loud horns playing random wank.

Someone should totally do a serious attempt at doing me.

Or a better attempt at an insulting one.

MicShazam 10-24-2018 02:22 PM

He's gonna be exhausted after 5 hours and it might start getting interesting. I supposed that, since it's in reverse, the best part is gonna be the first then.

Insulting ones are easy, just choose the entire Limp Bizkit discography of five albums, and for the other five throw in some of those "Now That's What I Call Music" compilations.

As for a serious one, I can't really do much of one yet but I know there would be a Kate Bush album in there.

Ninetales did a pretty good insulting one because it had a grain of truth to it though.

And yeah, definitely Kate Bush. And the lady in my avatar pic as well.

I'll have to listen to these now

Probably the second worse thing to happen to a person besides being stuck on a deserted island is having someone pick albums for them. Bending the rules a wee bit with ten bands and eleven albums.

Lisnholic
  1. Pentangle ‎– The Pentangle (1968)
  2. Leo Kottke ‎– 6- and 12- String (1969)
  3. Steeleye Span ‎– Hark! The Village Wait (1970)
  4. Trees ‎– The Garden Of Jane Delawney (1970) & On The Shore (1970)
  5. Tea and symphony - Jo Sago (1970)
  6. Traffic ‎– The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys (1971)
  7. Skara Brae ‎– Skara Brae (1971) (Gaelic)
  8. Convivium ‎– Convivium (1971) (Norsk)
  9. Mellow Candle ‎– Swaddling Songs (1972)
  10. Michał Urbaniak ‎– Urbaniak (1979) (Polish Jazz)

^ Thank you very much for the albums, which would all be welcome on a desert island. I’m not familiar with Skara Brae or Michal Urbaniak, but I’ll check them out. Thanks. You chose some real favourites of mine although TBH, I’d probably like to squeeze in something a bit noisier too: Can or Beefheart perhaps.

While my desert island would have some fresh material, I’m afraid that my albums for your desert island are mainly albums that you’ve mentioned yourself on MB already. Anyway, I hope you still like them, and my apologies if I haven’t picked anything punk, which is another genre that I think you’re interested in too.


1. Fuschia – Self-titled album
2. The Front Bottoms – Talon of the Hawk
3. Orange Alabaster Mushroom – Space and Time
4. 3 Hur-El – Hurel Arsivi
5. Sarah Brightman – The songs of Andrew Lloyd Webber
6. 5th Dimension – Portrait
7. Eddie Harris – Swiss Movement
8. Ranking Roger – Radical Departure

Thanks, Lisn. America is spot-on one of my favorite albums. I was surprised to see Orange Alabaster Mushroom, I kinda forgotten I mentioned them. I didn't know about Yazoo Basin Boogie, I am sure to check it out.

@OccultHawk I'm not sure they are albums you want. I just hope they are albums you don't hate. Agnes English is the South's answer to The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Frownland's list is like "Springtime for Hitler," it's worst possible DID I could think of for the average pedestrian music listener, yet it is a hit with you. I don't know where I went right trying to be so wrong. :confused:

"Judy in Disguise (With Glasses)" is John Fred's answer to "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." Maybe your right, and I was stretching the analogy a bit too far by saying the whole album was an answer to The Beatles' Sgt Pepper.

This is great! Yo La Tengo, of Montreal, TOTC -- all essentials. Idk if I would quite rank the others as desert island worthy but they're all solid albums, important indie darlings are accounted for. Good job!

Those three were the easy picks, the others I wasn't sure of. I think Meg was a big fan of Montreal too.

The first five albums are desert island discs for someone who's in his mid-sixties is about to actually retire on a deserted island with his yacht. So like yeah they are perfectly suited for your listening enjoyment. :rolleyes: The next three are my picks, guestimating what you might like.
The last two are your #1 albums (of their respective year) ‎– so no complaints. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  1. Fleetwood Mac ‎– Rumours (1977)
  2. Steely Dan ‎– Aja (1977)
  3. The Doobie Brothers ‎– Minute By Minute (1978)
  4. Christopher Cross ‎– Christopher Cross (1979)
  5. Tubes ‎– The Completion Backward Principle (1981)
  6. The Primitives ‎– Lovely (1988)
  7. Dave Matthews Band ‎– Under The Table And Dreaming (1994)
  8. Frou Frou ‎– Details (2001)
  9. Ice Choir – Designs In Rhythm (2016)
  10. Damnations Day - A World Awakens (2017)
