You can only take 5 albums to a deserted Island...


But there is a world class system there for your use.  Leaving many favorites behind but I must have:

Yes - Close to the Edge
Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet
Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs
Neil Young - Everybody Knows this is Nowhere
John Lee Hooker - Mr. Lucky

I know what you mean Martykl.  I like Sons of Soul as well.  After reading some of the selections, I figured my choices would be different from many.  If you haven't heard the Tommy Sims album, check it out.  Great recording and music.  The Jason Mraz album may not be the best recorded but it is such a great album.  IMHO, of course.
Lisa Gerrard -- Gladiator OST
Depeche Mode -- Exciter 
David Sylvian -- Secrets Of The Bee Hive
Carla Bley -- European Tour 1977
Pat Metheny -- Secret Story
Sevs, maybe it doesn't hold up the best, but Demons and Wizards and Magician's Birthday still find their way into my rotation. Sweet Lorraine!
