MODERATORS
I can't figure out if I'd want something with vocals to give me a sense of companionship, or something without vocals so it doesn't drive me insane.
With vocals: Grateful Dead - Cornell 5/8/77
Without vocals: John Coltrane - Live at Village Vanguard
I'm torn on if I want a "favorite album" or a compilation/best of?
Hunky Dory - David Bowie
Counting crows august and everything
Oh dang! Classic.
The one that immediately comes to mind is Wolfgang Amadeus, by Phoenix.
Oh dang!!
Iβm still struggling to pick one. Lol
What immediately comes to my mind is my βsuper party mixβ mix tape so good on you
I'll go with something current. 'The Loveliest Time' by Carly Rae Jepsen. People around me seem to like this album a lot...
For the rest, I'll just bang some coconuts against each other to create sound. This way I'll become the best tribute band for various classic works on the island. Everyone's welcome!
Carbon Based Lifeforms - Hydroponic Gardens (definitely a Carbon Based album, but it's a tough choice)
Neko Case, Middle Cyclone.
oh dang! Great album. It's also a sonically diverse album. Great call!
Her voice! Knocks me out every time.
No doubt! Running out of Fools destroys me every time.
I'd have to go with the album that's verbal instructions for how to build a two way radio out of a coconut and seaweed.
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco
Such a good album.
Distinguishing Marks by Fingerprintz. I've been listening to that album since 1985 and it never got old.
...even though apparently I did
Off the top of my head, Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
Incubus - Morning View
22, A Million
really hard to say, but the first one that jumped to mind is Miles Davis - Filles de Kilimanjaro
I always appreciated Davis, but never got into his work. Love jazz, but jazz-jazz? Tough one for me.
If you're coming from a rock background you could check out In a Silent Way or A Tribute to Jack Johnson, and if you like those, go to Bitches Brew.
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - Smashing Pumpkins
The Duran Duran Tribute album (1997)
I think you have an error in your question. My first thought when you said "desert album" album was to take that literally and say Mdou Moctar - Ilana: The Creator.
But I suppose you mean "desert island" album so I'll say Sigur RΓ³s - Takk...
I also thought about The Avalanches - Since I Left You but I fear that Frontier Psychiatrist will drive me insane.
welp, that's what I get for posting first thing in the morning DURING coffee and not after....
At least you can edit the title! Unlike that other place
Right???
The Wind at Four to Fly, by The Disco Biscuits
But I'd have that Basis on repeat
a-ha - Scoundrel Days
The Clash - London Calling honestly has everything
could never get into themβ¦ frustratingly soβ¦
Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
