Oh CubDave, you have the same choices I would make! Although I would like all of Billy Joel's stuff. I love his stuff because he sings in my key! (I definately do not have a girly sounding voice.)

I might subsitute Joe J. with Santana Supernatural. Or maybe Salvador.

Well Nancy, you know, Midwesterners just think alike. I even like Slammin' Spiker's list - I actaully really like The Corrs, but that Beastie Boys pick needs to make it's way out of the Midwest!

Skye2477--Is it "Life's Rich Pageant" or "Lifes Rich Pageant" without the apostrophe--it is both ways on the LP (how old I am). Also, don't forget the Best of Ringo Starr. For a couple of years after the Beatles breakup, he amazingly had the most successful solo career of all the Beatles. FUN STUFF! He never took himself too seriously (like, say, John Lennon). "No, No Song,' "You're Sixteen," (ah, Sam Cooke), "Photograph," and "It Don't Come Easy." Of course, reality quickly set in and Ringo's solo material was largely forgotten and his newer stuff just wasn't as fun. His recent All-Star concerts are wonderful fun though.

CubDave--Isn't it Barbra, not Barbara.

Man, we have good taste in music: How about: Heart.

Love Fleetwood Mac, Wingspan is a great pick, Led Zep....

I have about 200 greatest hits discs and about 1100 albums total. By collectors standards, I am just a neophyte.

Re: Desert Island Discs - 07/07/03 06:29 PM

CubDave - I hate to do this to you, but as our attorney pointed out, you cannot even spell Barbra, so you cannot take that album. It's for the best, as her politics would not go over well on the island - and that voice would just remind you of the politics.

Posted By: Anonymous

Re: Desert Island Discs - 07/07/03 06:32 PM

Yes Z, it is Barbra. I always spell it wrong though because when I was 5, I heard her song "I'm Five" (and yes, I substituted "Big Boy" for "Big Girl", but because of that song, I named our family dog Barbara (later shortened to Barbie)but her name on the certificate was spelled Barbara. So although I know it's Barbra, I never stopped spelling it Barbara. (too much info??)

Dave, was it just me or did we all hear "The Way We Were" playing in the background of your last post??

Re: Desert Island Discs - 07/07/03 07:10 PM

Dawnie- Are you referring to the song "Scar Tissue" by the Chilli Peppers? That's on the Californication CD, which is good (but doesn't feature enough of Flea's slap bass skill for my taste). I wasn't aware they had a Scar Tissue CD.

Jac- I forgot about Lenny Kravitz. I really like his Greatest Hits CD. There's a musician with some talent!

Re: Desert Island Discs - 07/07/03 07:11 PM

Oh, I forgot!! Marvin Gaye--"What's Going On"

I'm glad that we're not just making a list of Greatest Hits. Making an album used to be an art. Nowadays, there are typically 2-3 good songs and then filler--and that is on the good albums.

Re: Desert Island Discs - 07/07/03 07:32 PM

I am terrible with CD titles and don't have time to Google so don't hound me

:

-Phil Collins or Genesis - any CD's would do, but one must contain "In the Air Tonight"
-Lynard Skynard - Sweet Home Alabama
-Eric Clapton
-Boston

and for a country sound....
George Strait - Baby Blue
Vince Gill - His Christmas CD

But of course, if I am stranded by the ocean I would have to have - Jimmy Buffet (and a Marguerita or Pina Colda)

Actually they did a single title CD for Scar Tissue. I guess I'll be listening to that one song over and over and over again on the island

I haven't found any full CD's of theirs I fell in love with. Having the single is kind of nice when I'm in the mood to listen to sad music. That one song will do it for me for about a week.

Re: Desert Island Discs - 07/07/03 08:07 PM

Here goes - using only albums I actually own - which is limiting since I tend to go for Greatest hits or compilation type albums.

The Great Divide & Friends - "Dirt & Spirit"
Randy Travis - "Rise & Shine"
George Strait - "Live from the Houston Astrodome"
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - "Will the Circle be Unbroken - Vol. III"
Brad Paisley - "Part II"
Mark Chestnutt - "Longnecks and Short Stories"
Johnny Cash & Willie Nelson - "VH1 Storytellers"
Hank Williams Sr., Jr., & III - "Men with Broken Hearts"
Chris Ledoux - "Live"
Bill Engvall - "Dorkfish" (because you'd have to laugh occasionally.

However if items 1,4,7, & 8 count as multi-artist compilations since they all have more than one artist (I would consider them more collaborations since more than one artist appears per song.) I would replace with:

The Great Divide - "Revolutions"
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - "Live Two Five"
Michael Martin Murphy - "Cowboy Songs III - Rhymes of the Renegades"
Mike McClure - "Twelve Pieces"

For my soundtrack - "O, Brother Where Art Thou"
Greatest Hits - Chris LeDoux's "20 Greatest Hits"

Posted By: Sinatra Fan

Re: Desert Island Discs - 07/07/03 08:31 PM

Carole King - "Tapestry"
Steely Dan - "Aja"
Eva Cassidy - "Songbird" (Dawnie: you're starting to spook me!

)
Antonin Dvorak - "New World Symphony"
Frank Sinatra - "September of My Years"
Frank Sinatra - "Songs for Swinging Lovers"
Frank Sinatra - "Only the Lonely"
James Taylor - "Live in Concert"
Louis Armstrong - "Live at Newport Jazz Festival"
(I'd add a tenth, but every one I think of is a greatest hits album.)

Soundtrack: "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
Boxed set: Handel's "Messiah"

Marshall Crenshaw, what a classic!! I can't believe anyone else remembers this guy. I think he only had two albums and I have them both on casettes, although I think they are nearly worn out. This sure brings back memories from the 80's.

Cynical Girl

That would be on my list too, along with another classic from the 80's "Asia".

LOL Stephen...it gets worse. That CD is in my player as we speak!

I didn't include it because it was against the original rules

I have everything by Eva. The other two CD's are at the house. Her Desert Rose and Somewhere Over The Rainbow were the first two songs I heard on NPR. I was hooked!

Re: Desert Island Discs - 07/07/03 08:44 PM

Oh no, I have 4 or 5 Marshall Crenshaw albums--including a live album. I plan to get his second and third albums because I just read an article saying that those albums were nearly as good as the first album.

I defy anyone to listen to Eva's rendition of "Over the Rainbow" without getting chills up your spine. And her version of "Oh, Had I A Golden Thread" always gets me up waiving my hand and swaying (not a pretty sight: white boy acting like he's in a black gospel choir

) Every year I have to go out to Seattle to get another one of her CDs, 'cause you can't find them out here.

Nothing against Norah Jones, but if Eva were still alive, she should have the five Grammys.

For what it's worth, even though Barbra Streisand made my list, I wouldn't go see Celine Dion in vegas if someone gave me free airfare and front row seats.

Re: Desert Island Discs - 07/21/03 02:27 PM

Did I miss something here? Island and no Buffet?????

This is tough - there is so much good stuff that I would miss so I'll just rattle some off the top of my head. (and since others have broken the rules – I will too)

Rampal & Stern – Mozart
Any top symphony – Vivaldi Four Seasons
The Andrews Sisters - any recording
Bing Crosby – any recording but particularly White Christmas
Rock Roll & Rhythm - (late 50's early 60's of the good stuff from Rhino)
Beach Boys – Endless Summer
The Temptations – Greatest Hits
Kenny G – Duotones (yeah Z I like G

)
Jimmy Buffet – Last Mango in Paris
Jimmy Buffet – Songs You Know by Heart
Jimmy Buffet – Hot Water
Jimmy Buffet – Off to See the Lizard
Alan Jackson – Drive
Toby Keith – Unleashed
Patty Loveless – Strong Heart

I'm sorry, I really tried. I guess I just will not be available for "stranded" status - I simply must have more than 12.

Re: Desert Island Discs - 07/21/03 05:12 PM

I already posted my picks for the island..... but just have to comment on who I would NOT want. I was at a concert this past weekend and thought the preformance of Limp Bisket was outrageous and uncalled for. They are the last warm up band for Metallica for the Summer Sanitorium Tour. The lead singer made several caustic remarks about this fact and had to have quit before their set was finished. This forced the crowd to wait an hour, when the break in between all the other bands was only 30 minutes. Of course this left a mostly college age crowd to their own devices for far too long!
