Albums, pthah!

I would take 10 burned CD's with whatever songs I wanted on them 🙂

That would include some theatre (Les Mis, Miss Saigon, Rent), some punk (Greenday, Bad Religion, even some Blink 182), some country (Alan Jackson, John Michael Montgomery, Brooks and Dunn), some pop (BNL, Savage Garden, and a little N'Sync to groove to on those days I felt like singin' and dancin'), and a whole lotta techno.

And at least one version of "Bittersweet Symphony".

And at least one "Prozzak" song.

And several posters of Rachael Leigh Cook. 😉

I'd been wondering if the "2112" after your name was a Rush reference, Dave. My suspicions have been confirmed! Anyway my list includes:

Morphine/"Cure for Pain"
Mr. Bungle/"California"
Peter Gabriel/"Passion"
Rush/"Exit...Stage Left"
Devo/"Q:Are we not men? A:We are DEVO!"

Strel - my only issue with your list is: no Don Ho records. 🙂

 

[Strelnikov]

Ho Ho Ho

Even with the list I gave, I gotta draw the line somewhere.

Daumantas, Strel, thanks for the cola smell in my sinuses. Ouch.

Oh, and I'd swim, and keep swimming, 'til I reached the salvation of my CDs. I've stuff in there that was custom-burned from Tom Waits performances I saw, and several friends' band's albums, as well as a few hundred o' my favorites, plus all the obscure electro-acoustic stuff I studied for school. Just couldn't stay on an island and leave it behind.

Given some of the rather humorous responses, we oughta start a thread of "music for defense - how d'you scare off evil folk, musically". Dust off the "Slim Whitman does Devo" and start the amp's tubes warmin' up for a loud broadcast...

Didn't even know that Slim covered them!! I have his covers of the Clash and Zeppelin, but there's always something new out there!! Back to Aimster I go!! Thanx for the tip dvnc!! Your buddy Q...

 

[dvnc]

Augh!

Don't do it, Q! I was just kidding! They'll find you! It'll be H*O*R*R*I*B*L*E!!

It beat the other evil idea - "Dolly Parton sings Nirvana"...
