Another "Desert Island" thread inspired by my own "DT or TA" thread

Everyone carries CD's to desert island, but no one carries a disc-man or batteries :P

Nor food!

Nor women!

Picture this: It take Pain of Salvation's Remedy Lane to the desert (now known as an habitated island by me), and i play it in my cocontus built disc-man... i go to the beach... sunset... "This heart of mine" starts to sound in the background and i have no woman to cuddle with!!

Bad Desert Island! By the way, this Desert Island thing, reminds me of Cacophony \m/

Definitely Rush, but if Porcupine Tree keeps up this pace for another 5-10 years, they will give them a serious run for their money.

Or can I just cheat and say Steven Wilson and anything he has played on? 

Pink Floyd......or Rush.........Rush,  no Pink Floyd....

Wait!  Rush.........Pink Floyd   


If I choose Floyd do I get the DG and RW solo material as well?

Portnoy

Responses to my prior thread got me thinking of another desert island idea. Forget about choosing between DT and TA, but let me ask you all this- if you had to be stranded on a desert island with the entire discography of ONE artist only, who would it be? It certainly couldn't be TA in this case, because they only have 3 albums. You'd have to pick someone who's been around a long time and has enough music that you wouldn't burn out from it TOO quick.. would it be DT for most of you? I have actually given this a lot of thought myself and my conclusion might surprise some- but I think if I could only listen to one artist's discography for eternity, it would probably be Elton John.

By the way, not to sway the jury here...but according to your question:
 
Couldn't *I* be a Desert Island artist in order to incorporate DT, TA, LTE, NM, OSI, etc etc?? 
 
That would solve your DT or TA dilemma....

lol

Ya know, Mike, it's funny you mention that, because if you look at it in that light, should any of your performances with Dweezil and co. from this past summer ever see the light of day in any official sense...I'd be able to pick you...thus getting all of the DT, LTE, etc stuff AND be able to include some Zappa too.

I would have to pick Dream Theater!

Simple Minds

PT PT PT PT PT PT PT PT PT PT PT

Do official bootlegs count? If so, definitely King Crimson for me.

Definitely Chick Corea - with over a hundred albums and heaps of different styles, I probably wouldn't get bored with it as fast.

Definitely DT.

2nd choice though, would be BTBAM. Their last two albums are complex enough so I could listen to them for quite a while without getting bored, and I could listen to their heavier, more metalcore earlier albums when doing manly desert-island type things like building a raft, or holding my fist toward a lightning-filled sky as the ocean mist tossles my manly beard in the wind, thunder trembling the earth aside my booming man-yell, as the storm paints a fierce contrast upon the expression of rage and insanity on my face, and I grab a harpoon to vanquish the whale...

Sh*t, I think I confused BTBAM with Mastodon. They can be my 3rd choice.

If I'm going to be stuck on a desert island with CDs, at least give me enough of them so I can build a raft.

Crimson Claypool


Do official bootlegs count? If so, definitely King Crimson for me.

+1, although leaving DT behind would be difficult I have pretty much every song nailed into my head so I can just sing it to myself while I'm waiting for passing ships =)

This is my forum of choice after all...    probably Dream Theater.

they would be at the top of my list for this Deserted Island shtuff.

the rest of the list would probably go as follows:
2. Avril Lavigne
3. Insane Clown Posse
4. Creed
5. Cradle of Filth
6. The Monkeys
7. Backstreet Boys
8. Don McLean
9. Miley Cirus
10. Starland Vocal Band

First off you would be alone so you would want something uplifting, not depressing. So Floyd is out.
 
There are days when you wouldn't feel good, and when you're sick nothing sounds worse than death metal (or any
heavy music for that matter)...so cross off all those bands.
 
You would need music to chum in fish and birds so you could slay them for food, and music to keep you bustling
while you toiled away carving eating implements, and thatchery for your huts...
 
And lastly you would be alone and craving a female so music with a nice female voice would solve that issue.
 
So I'll go with Heart. Or, since Steve Perry sounds kinda female, maybe Journey.
