[livejournal.com profile] eowyn asked: What 3 CDs would you take to an isolated island with you? They're the only CDs you can listen to for the next 10 years.

GAH this one is tricky...

Beatles - Hard Day's Night. It's my favorite album, the only one that is all Lennon/McCartney. I feel like if I was trapped on an island, I'd need a Beatles fix every now and then.

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back soundtrack - if I can't have the movie with me, the soundtrack will do. ESB has all the great themes - the imperial march, yoda's theme, han and leia's theme...if I can't watch the movie, I can watch it in my mind! Plus, sometimes you want just music, no words.

Bastille - All This Bad Blood (is this cheating? It's a 2-disc album...) I have listened to this album SO MANY TIMES since I bought it and I love it. This was the hardest one to pick because it is new to my collection but I think I'd want something new. But I really love the sound of this band. Plus, i have an image of me burning stuff and dancing around to 'Things We Lost in the Fire' as part of a very cathartic experience after getting stranded.

And I'm going to go to bed now and probably wake up at 3am and think "NO WHAT AS I THINKING, NOT THOSE CDS!"

Thanks for answering my question.

Their big hit was "Pompeii" but my personal favorite is "Poet".

I'd have to take Led Zep 4. Marc Almond's "The Stars We Are." And a compilation ... (is that cheating? I can fit 18 - 20 tracks on a compilation!)

LOL if I could take compilations I would bring along 3 of the annual mix CDs I've been making for the past 10 years with my top 20 songs. :)

I love your choices esp the Bastille one because they totally set the mood for island isolation and whatnot.

I wouldn't know where to start!

Beatles, though, great choice. I actually have a "best of" in my car at present.

They are my emergency band, been there for me since middle school, always good when I just need to find a happy place.

Yes, to the Empire Strikes back! I love any of those soundtracks. Of, course, that one was the best movie...

All This Bad Blood is amazing. I really hope that I like their new album just as much when it comes out.

me too! I cannot wait to hear it! My Mom and I saw them live a couple of years ago, it was such a good show. (and a bit hilarious since she kept pretty much telling me what were essentially fanvid ideas for each song because she was really into Sleepy Hollow at the time...)

I know right?!?! I thought far too long about this question, but I didn't want it to hold me up for too long.

(and now I just finished watching 'The Martian' where he literally IS TRAPPED with only a few CDs...though they are not his CDs, which is worse!)

I would be so happy if all I could listen to was John Williams. I really really love instrumental soundtracks a lot, so if I was stuck with John Williams, Hans Zimmer, and Alexandre Desplat for the rest of my life, that would be okay with me. c:
