So, let’s imagine you’re about to be stranded on a desert island. For some reason, there will be a record (or CD /MP3) player and you’re allowed to take 3x albums with you to listen to for the rest of eternity on this island.
Which 3 albums do you take? (You’re definitely only allowed 3!)
Tagging @Christoph, @Marta, @JJ_JJ @zirnoise @A2D and @Andi to start us off!
@SimonG yeah!
Only 3 
Nice choices @A2D !
I’ll take:
Tool - Lateralus (my fav album ever)
Hans Zimmer - Dune soundtrack (it’s been my favourite OST this year)
Queen - A night at the Opera (One of the first albums i listened to)
What would you choose @SimonG ?
Nice choices both !
New finds for me… Anoushka Shankar… hauntingly beautiful, thanks @A2D and Lateralus - Tool will be played at our next BBQ for sure @zirnoise nice choice.
OK - so now you guys will see why everyone thinks my music choices are weird… (@JJ_JJ will agree)
1. Paul Simon - Rhythm of the Saints
My Mum used to play this all the time and it opened my ears to different sounds. As a side note, many years later I joined (several) Carnival Samba Bands and ended up playing at the ridiculously crazy Coburg Samba Festival in Germany
2. Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation
Every time I listen to this I am back to the same place - Mountain Bike racing in the UK (which I did until a very gnarly injury put me out of action)
3. Reel Big Fish - Turn the Radio Off
Alrighttt… everybody … don’t stop skanking (yes I know different album, but same moves). Absolutely love ska (My Dad was a “Mod” when he was younger and the love of ska just kept on going through the family, although with a bit more of a rock vibe. Also - I have seen RBF 6 or 7 times now… not even ashamed. 
Tagging @leapfidei @Ugur @frantic as I haven’t seen you guys for a while!
@SimonG thank you. The Prodigy is really great ; I watched the video “Firestarter” on youtube again a couple of weeks ago 
Man, I really dig Rhythm of the Saints. Great album!
nooot an easy choice haha, so let’s start:
but we can discuss the Jimi Hendrix thing as it is almost like cheating being it a 4 disc album. Whilst deep purple with it’s two LPs seems fair to me, what do you think?
@A2D maybe we can exchange disks from time to time, I like yours a lot, too haha but to be honest, I would listen to every chosen album so far 
.
@Andi could be supercool 
Oh, I added The End of a Dream to my playlist on spotify to listen to it also 
@SimonG would that even be allowed on our desert islands to establish a disk exchange service? haha but yeah having to choose 3 is quite hard! And what I particularly like in your choice is that you have something for every mood in it 
@A2D woooow, thaaanx! means really a lot to me!
I have added Underround to my playlist on Spotify, it’s a really particular song that I like a lot!
btw which is your playlist?
I mean we’re supposed to be on our own desert islands, but sure - let’s make an iMusician community island and we can all swap disks - so far we have a very good collection.
@JJ_JJ - will probably bring some good rock / punk?
Out to everone here (@zirnoise @A2D @Andi @SimonG) for these albums! Really nice spontaneous soundtrack to kick off the week 
Somehow forgot about that Tool record… so good
Tough to whittle it down to 3 but I’ll toss these into the mix
As close as it gets to a perfect record IMO. Sade heals. @CamiGuellil - can hear some Sade influence in your music
My uncle played me this record on a family trip when I was 18ish and it blew my head open with the blending of genres, production style, and Tracey Thorn. Can hear the influence on a lot of R&B music today, and pretty much all of The xx.
Technically a song and not an album BUT somehow feels perfect for losing your mind stranded alone on a desert island. Beautiful, absurd, heartbreaking, all the feelings.
Kicking this on to @MailandScope @Lento @frantic @Doorshan to hear their picks
