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.

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

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 =)

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.

Re: Another "Desert Island" thread inspired by my own "DT or TA" thread (santaclouse)

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.

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

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....

MP

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.

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?

Re: Another "Desert Island" thread inspired by my own "DT or TA" thread (HomerJ)

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 00:19:14 GMT

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?

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/

1. DT (better yet, MP )
2. opeth or the beatles, except the beatles entire catalogue is permentely carved into my brain anyway
3. mastodon (so i could listen to "Ísland" over and over and laugh at myself) or btbam

That is , if you're stuck in Iceland , and there there's enough population to get a job , buy a disc-man and all the cd you want !

If I say Mike Patton i could bring a shitload of cd's with me :D
And his catalog is every music style you can think of so yeah, definitely Patton.

Damn! Great choice...it would be tough to not take any Patton.

Re: Another "Desert Island" thread inspired by my own "DT or TA" thread (WilliamMunny)

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 21:38:39 GMT

Damn...this is tough...bc of all the things you have to take into consideration...

1. Has to be a pretty large catalog...thus to avoid burnout.
2. Has to be pretty varied...so it can satisfy me when I'm in different listening moods.
3. Has to be something I listened to for a long time...so that I KNOW I will still be listening in a long time..

if I am going to go with one right now...it is KEN ANDREWS...

Failure, On, Year Of The Rabbit, Solo...maybe even throw in the Replicants cd...

there's at least 10 cds there and I am ALWAYS in the mood to listen to anything by Ken Andrews!

I'd have to chime in with Steve Vai. I could listen to him for ages.

LOL, Virra

I was thinking about it today and on some days I think Opeth would be a contender too. In fact, since I'm not as intimately familiar with every song they have (despite owning all of their albums) they might be a better choice.

Right now. Dream Theater, no doubt. Everything can be found there, or to be precise: everything which need to be found .

Re: Another "Desert Island" thread inspired by my own "DT or TA" thread (angra1)

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:15:42 GMT

the KEY BAND MEMBER/SOLO thing works a lot better with JAZZ musicians as a good percentage (and depth) of jazz is under the artist name rather than the bands (if they have another name for them) names.

I've known the answer to this question for quite awhile and it is and may always be Marillion.

Re: Another "Desert Island" thread inspired by my own "DT or TA" thread (Devnoy)

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:40:50 GMT

I guess it would be Zappa.

I wouldn't mind be stuck with Rush's or Pink Floyd's discography either.

Re: Another "Desert Island" thread inspired by my own "DT or TA" thread (eviljake360)

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:07:09 GMT

I'd pick DT, BTBAM (although i wouldn't listen to s/t much), and Joe Satriani

It takes Mr. Cymbal 2 hours to format every post

This is a tough choice, but in the end I'd have to pick Dream Theater

Re: Another "Desert Island" thread inspired by my own "DT or TA" thread (Mr. Cymbal)

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:41:52 GMT

Mr. Cymbal thinks it's good to see that Mike Portnoy rocks with the dancing banana! Mr. Cymbal always considered him as a close friend.

Mr. Cymbal his choice though would probably be Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Zappa, Mike Portnoy and his catalogue ór Jordan and his stuff.

Re: Another "Desert Island" thread inspired by my own "DT or TA" thread (cyberdrummer)

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:33:22 GMT

Pink Floyd.

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:47:41 GMT

Good question with one artist discography. I'll have to think about that but Im also leaning on Rush at the moment.

Re: Another "Desert Island" thread inspired by my own "DT or TA" thread (Frunobulax)

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:46:39 GMT

If I could pick "Mike Portnoy", I totally would.

But in this case, I may have to go with Dream Theater. Can't live without my Images & Words.

Re: Another "Desert Island" thread inspired by my own "DT or TA" thread (jcmoorehead)

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:35:53 GMT

Gragh impossible for me to pick between Meat Loaf and Dream Theater... can I pick half of eaches Discography and call it Meat Theater instead :P

I guess at a shove I'd probably pick Dream Theater just because some of Meats 80s stuff isn't great wheras for me Dream Theater is more consistant and they also wrote Octavarium.

Ah, but does that count as ALL of NM?

.... Or am I slow on the uptake, and you actually HAVE played on all of his albums?

No, he has not. Just the 5 albums post- Spock's Beard. MP did not play on Neal's first two non-prog (or less-prog, anyway) solo albums. Btw, if you don't have these, buy them both immediately. They are brilliant in their own right, albeit they are more "pop" or "songwriter" oriented.
