Wow Prom! They're all here if you fancy
'Cept for the last two...*Really gotta keep my blog up to date

Ready-made albums. You buy them in the shops. You get them off the internet. They have covers that list all the songs and a stupid picture of the people who made them.

I know you know what I mean. You are just being that annoying 13 year old who drove that poor teacher up the wall. You won't terrorise me as you terrorised her, oh no, ain't gonna happen. I'm not scared of you.

Well. Okay. I am a bit

Damn it..... just read Al's list.... now I want MCR -Black Parade too.

I'm on Karma's side.   I NEVER listen to an "album"

Even when I listen to the ones on my list I rearrange the songs into the "correct" order (my preferred order).

And why should you be when I look as good as this?

I'm pretty much the same. I like individual songs as opposed to bands or artists as a whole. Although there are quite a few I rate very highly - it would be rare for me to like every piece of work a band or artist has released, there's nearly always one or two tracks I don't like and on the flip side, there are artists I would never buy albums of, but one or two tracks they release that I absolutely love.

 in reply to Karma's picture

I'm listening to it now...in order!   *mwah!*
 
 
 

Okay, now I'm scared 

I'm listening to it now too!!!

But in the right order.

Well la de bloody dah 

My answer partly depends on how you define "album".
I would take 5 compilation discs which I would make myself.
I then would not be limited to having many tracks by the same artist.
My 5 discs would contain all sorts - Pavarotti, George Jones, the spoken word, opera by Bellini or Donizetti, ballet music, light music, older pop music, Tammy Wynette, Willie Nelson......
If you mean an "album" I could by in a shop, I'd be hard pressed to select, knowing that whatever I selected my change if I was again tomorrow. 

I give up. You can all burn your fave songs on to CD's and take them with you I hope it bloody rains constantly on the lot of ya 

I don't want them on CD's, I wanna take my MP3 player!

So they can take 5 albums of their fave songs but I can't take the Bends!??!?
 
Sounds like a pretty crappy island
 
 
 

Should have been more specific in the T&C's then, shouldn't you!

I was specific. Five 'albums'. I stand by the assumption you are still that disruptive and unruly child.  Why I oughtta....

That was my much rehearsed to perfection Laurel and Hardy impersonation by the way

No you weren't!

Nah, that's Mezzanine (also amazing). Heligoland is their latest and it's bloody brilliant.

Having thought more, I'd have to have at least one Underworld album - either Barking or Second Toughest In The Infants.Also Throwing Muses' The Real Ramona and something by Bowie (can't decide which) and something by Eno (also can't decide).

So going on this moment in time ( bearing in mind this could change in a week), these are the 5 albums I would take in with me...


Beatles - Help
Carpenters - Gold
Abba - Greatest Hits
Ministry of Sound - the 80s compilation ( haha that's a double album!. 
"songs for my car No 4. That's a CD that I made for driving and I can download it anytime from I Tunes cos it is a compilation already so,,

Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life
Anita Baker - Rapture
Danny Wilson - Meet Danny Wilson
Donald Fagen - The Nightfly
The Divine Comedy - Casanova
