It's wino night!! ...Don't say you weren't warned.
Morning's phone just died, which makes me sad, but before it did I asked him my default question, which I use to immediately judge people & decide whether or not I like them: You're stranded on a desert island, which 5 albums do you have to have?
The rules: It can't be a mix CD or any of that BS. It CAN be a greatest hits album, or even a multi-disc set, as long as that is how it was released by the recording company. Basically it has to be all one artist per album.
That being said, his answers were: Queens of the Stone Age: self-titled, Eagles of Death Metal, Beatles - Abbey Road or 1...Incubus - either Make Yourself or Morning View...And I can not remember the last one for the life of me. But moral of the story is his answers were legit. And I asked AMS23 hers, which were also spectacular.
Here's the thing, though - I ask people the question all the time, and honestly if they were to ask me mine I would tell each of them a different 5 albums. I am trying to lock it down, but I just can't. So for today, here are my Desert Island Albums:
*Annie Lennox - Medusa
*Band of Horses - Cease to Begin
*Crosby Stills Nash & Young - So Far
*Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key of Life
*O.A.R. - Stories of A Stranger
And because I have a really really hard time narrowing this down, I am allowing myself 3...make that 4...err, 56... runners-up, which are:
John Butler Trio - Grand National
Supertramp - Breakfast in America
Rusted Root - When I Woke
Citizen Cope - The Clarence Greenwood Recordings
Sublime - self-titled
Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense
....Who am I kidding?! I want to turn this into a list of Angie's 100 favorite albums because they are great from start to finish! But alas, that would be ridiculous. So for now, I shall go boost mi amigo's ego & finish my wine.
What are yours??
One more thing, though, today Sister's friend J decided he could beat me at some sort of music knowledge competition. I was almost insulted by this thought. Is that wrong of me?! Regardless I feel like I might have put the little punk in his place, for now. ;)
And to be ironic (in the Alanis Morissette sense of the word) I am including a song that is in no way, shape, or form on this list:
Time Of Your Song - Matisyahu

oh I forgot about Sublime Self Titled...totally couldn't decide either, but I'm a commiter so I'm sticking to my first 5!
Oh and you ditched me! Ass! :-P
Alright, as of right meow:
1) M. Ward -- Post War
2) Sam Cooke -- One Night Stand
3) Danger Mouse -- The Grey Album
4) Mark Ronson -- Version
5) Bright Eyes -- Lifted
But that's just for now.
Currently I would say:
1. Bjork- Greatest Hits
2. Mates of State- Our Constant Concern
3. Modest Mouse- We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank
4. Cardigans- Long Gone Before Daylight
5. Emiliana Torrini- Fisherman's Woman
