    Desert Island Disc, Just Pick One

    I'm going with Mr Bungle's California for today.

    I have an old RCA recording of Julian Bream playing Rodrigo's Concerto de Aranjuez and Fantasía para un gentilhombre. I've had it for 25 years and it still gives me goosebumps when I listen to it.

    Either a really good Beethoven Ninth, or Santana Lotus.

    The batteries would wear out in a few hours, so who cares? Though the shiny side can be used to signal passing planes and ships.

    If it's just one prog album, too hard to choose.

    If it's one album period, I'd go with something like a really good Ella Fitzgerald or Cab Calloway compilation. If I can only hear one singer aside from myself for the rest of my life, I'm not sure I want it to be Jon Anderson.

    If it had to be prog, I'd pick a Thinking Plague album, I suppose....maximum density.

    But if it could be anything, well, then......Ligeti Sony Box, I think. Tough, though.

    If I were on that desert Island, something like Yessongs could be played in my memory.

    For a desert isle. I would have to have a 3 disc set - I wouldn't care what... The international signal for distress is three signals. So I would use the three disks to signal to offshore ships(reflection from the sun), and then when I get home, have complete access to ALL my CD's!

    OK that's not what you're asking, but I would think that having only one album would drive me to put a bullet in my head even after a short stay.

    I might choose one of those massive Grateful Dead box sets. Not for the music, but to build a boat out of it and get the fuck off of that island.

    The album I actually know what it would be like to have as my only album, because it was the first one I ever bought and, as such, for a while, it was the only album I had to listen to. I listened to it over and over again - I have listened to it more than a few times this year for an obvious and very sad reason -

    David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
