Much harder to pick 5 than 10 |
Jeez! 5? 5? try 500 minimum! Curiously I have 6,000 LPs... And have been tossing LPs as I buy more to keep the collection at about 6,000. Folks I would keep are: Bob Dylan, Beatles, B-52's, Beethoven, Tom Waits, Joan Baez, Miles Davis, Bach, Madonna, Frank Zappa, Bruce Springsteen, Carl Orff, Talking Heads, The Cars, Vivaldi, Cindi Lauper, Ventures, Police, Doors, Pink Floyd, Mozart, Jeez.. I could spend all night listing artists I HAVE TO KEEP (and take to the grave... LOL) I could easily get ride of half or two-thirds of the LPs if I HAD TOO.. but not otherwise Sorry, five would be a crime! Now FIVE TURNTABLES... yeah, I could keep five, In fact i had five, and sold one, took the arm off another and sold that.. So now I only have three TTs, two that I use. |
1). This Mortal Coil "BLOOD" 2). Love "FOREVER CHANGES" 3). "CROSBY STILLS & NASH" 4). Camel "THE SNOW GOOSE" 5). Joni Mitchell "COURT & SPARK" |
5 is tough after all these years. Anyway at the moment:
Abbey Road Dark Side Of The Moon In Rainbows Hero and Heroine Thick As A Brick
Subject to change in a few minutes.... |
elliott murphy-aquashow the cryan'shames-a scratch in the sky the steve miller band-brave new world the fugs-it crawled into my hand, honest richard lloyd-field of fire
in five seconds this will change. |
Elizabeth, after your well worded rant, now you have to play. I want to know your 5 of 6000, that's the fun in the game. Since you have 6000 records, we will even let you take 6! |
The Best of Tiny Tim The Best of The Archies The Best of Zamphir The Best of Slim Whitman The Best of Boxcar Willie
Of course I'd give them all up for any recording by the fabulous "Japanese Songbird" Yoko Ono. |

Tpreaves grabbed all my favorites so I'll have to go with the second choices although like Elizabeth I'd have to keep all of some musicians(Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Van the Man, Miles, Keith Jarrett, Bruce, etc, etc...
Van Morrison- Astral Weeks Miles Davis- Kind of Blue Neil Young- After the Gold Rush Richard Thompson- Live(More or Less) Bob Dylan- Bringing It All Back Home |

OK, only if opera box sets count as one item: Rossini: Barber of Seville Carl Orff: Die Kluge Miles Davis: Bitches Brew George Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue/American in Paris Dave Brubeck: Take Five One might notice NO Rock in my 'desert island' five. I chose items I can listen to a zillion times and never tire of. I cannot say that about any Rock and Roll. And my 'bonus' sixth Lp would be: Debussy: Carol Rosenberger Playing Debussy selections (on Denon Label) OK? |
John Hiatt - Bring the Family Dire Straits - either Debut album or Communique Beatles - Abby Road Van Morrison - Poetic Champions Compose Jeff Beck - Blow by Blow |
Okay, how about:
ELO - Out of the Blue Neil Young - Live at Massey Hall Radiohead - OK Computer The Beatles - Abby Road David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars Nirvana - Unplugged in New York....
crap, that's six not five... |
Somethin' Else - Cannonball Adderley Steve McQueen - Prefab Sprout Dire Straits - Dire Straits Soul Mining - The The Sea Change - Beck |
And for me,
Dave Grusin -Mountain Dance Pink Floyd-Dark Side of The Moon Ferde Grofe -Grand Canyon Suite Supertramp-Crime of The Century Rimsky Korsakov-Scheherazade
One more...George Gershwin -Rhapsody in Blue/American in Paris |
Miles Davis-Bitches Brew Miles Davis-Pangaea Mahavishnu Orchestra-Inner Mounting Flame Al Di Meola-Cielo e Terra El Camaron/Paco de Lucia-Castillo de Arena |
Again I am afraid I will only play this game if box sets count as 1 choice, sorry.
Puccini La Boheme/ Beecham/De Los Angeles/ Bjorling Richard Strauss Der Rosenkavalier/Karajan/Scwarzkopf Bach Cello Suites Janos Starker Blue Joni Mitchel Ella Fitzgerald sings the Gershwin song book, any of the LPs in the series |

69 Love Songs, Exile on Main Street, Another Green World, Abby Road and Kinda Blue |
The Beatles - Abbey Road; Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon; Muddy Waters - Folk Singer; Dave Brubeck - Take Five; Frank Sinatra - Sinatra at the Sands |
None. After listening to them over and over I would begin to dislike them. Best to have all or none. |
1. Velvet Underground -- Loaded 2. Charles Mingus -- The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady 3. Bob Marley & the Wailers -- Catch a Fire 4. Bob Dylan -- Biograph (not sure if this is cheating) 5. Rolling Stones -- Beggars Banquet |
Wait, I want to switch the Stones with Pink Floyd -- Wish you were here |
Five copies of Kind of Blue. That's all the music anyone ever needs. |

*Grateful Dead---Working Man's Dead *Ry Cooder---Paradise and Lunch *Nitty Gritty Dirt Band---Dirt, Silver and Gold(3 LPs-not fair) *Talking Heads---Little Creatures *Rush---Moving Pictures
Also agree with Thick As a Brick provided it's the original Reprise. I will always buy a clean one of these when I find it. Don't care if I end up with ten. |
I only have 3,000 LPs so my task is MUCH easier than Elizabeth's. While jazz is my overall favorite category, I must choose for variety. And that means samplings from several styles:
*Miles -- Kind of Blue (this would be #1 no matter how many I got to choose) *Brubeck Quartet -- Carnegie Hall Concert (includes hits from Time Out plus more variety) *NGDB -- Will The Circle Be Unbroken *Beethoven Nine Symphonies -- von Karajan/BPO (1962 recording, hey, the records came in one album box!) *Beatles -- Sgt. Pepper (or Rubber Soul or Revolver)
Now, where are Monk, and Mingus, and Bach, and Coltrane, and Zappa, and Talking Heads, and Mozart, and Simon, and KD Lang, and Satchmo, and Dolly, and, and, and? |
5 copies of Kind Of Blue, ah ? No Coltrane - Love Supreme ? |
WOW, lots of good album here that i haven't put on in years. I will put some on this weekend. My collection is somewhat small approx. 2000 LP's Jazz is really my thing so here it goes:
Miles (Kind of Blue) Duke Ellington (Jazz Party in Stereo) Patricia Barber (Cafe Blue 45rpm) Billie Holiday (Lady in Satin) Not recommended if you are on suicide watch. John Coltrane (Blue Train) And for the non Jazz in me: Alyson Krauss (Forget about it)
|
Beatles: Abbey Road Allman Bros: Live at The Fillmore Miles Davis: Kind of Blue Joni Mitchell: Blue Jeff Beck: Guitar Shop (groove on the cool album cover while listening to the music) |
Well Inna, before JC created LS there was KOB. But hey, I could have easily said 5 copies of Blue Trane and been just as happy with that. I'm easy :)
Happy holidays to all! c1 |
