Desert Island Discs
Left to right from the top, and in no particular order:
U2 - Achtung Baby
Ivy - Apartment Life
Frank Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim
Beck - Midnite Vultures
Monty Python - Live at Drury Lane
John Lee Hooker - Live at Cafe Au Go GO
The Velvet Underground & Nico
Ulrich Schnauss - Far Away Trains Passing By
The Cure - Galore
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - Greatest Hits
Bob Marley & the Wailers - Live!
U2 - The Joshua Tree
Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsies
Louis Prima - Capitol Collector's Series
Detroit Cobras - Life, Love & Leaving
B.B. King - Live at the Regal
Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd - Jazz Samba
U2 - Zoo Europa (bootleg from 1993)
Stevie Ray Vaughan - The Sky is Crying
Frank Sinatra - Come Dance With Me!
Oingo Boingo - Farewell
James Brown - 20 All Time Greatest Hits
T-Bone Walker - T-Bone Blues
The Dirtbombs - Ultraglide In Black
Pretty obvious who my favorite band is. I had to leave Zooropa off the list just for the sake of diversity. But if this were a desert island top 25 it would be on there for sure.
Couple of notes:
Picked the Sinatra/Jobim album over Getz/Gilberto, mostly because I am a huge Sinatra fan and a lot of the songs overlap. Plus it is a completely different style of Sinatra than any other album he'd done before, and the uniqueness is what really makes it a great album.
John Lee Hooker Live at Cafe Au Go Go: Just an incredible live set. JLH is backed by The Muddy Waters Band! Yes, Muddy Waters is on this album playing guitar but he never even sings! Also there is Otis Spann on piano.
U2 Zoo Europa: From the August 1993 show in Dublin Ireland. In my opinion it features the best version of "One" out there.
Oingo Boingo Farewell: I was at those shows!
B.B. King: If you want to know what the blues is all about, get this album.
Also, forgot Led Zeppelin II! Not sure what I'd take out though...
