HRFanUSA Group: Members Posts: 128 Joined: May 2009 Posted: July 27 2009, 19:46 I thoroughly enjoy this forum and was wondering - if you were stranded on an island, what 10 albums/CDs would you like to have with you? Of course most of us would want one or two Mike Oldfield's, but I thought it'd be interesting to see everyone's musical taste. My Top 10 would include (in no particular order): 1.  Hergest Ridge - Mike Oldfield 2.  Tangram - Tangerine Dream 3.  Oxygene - Jean Michel Jarre 4.  Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield 5.  Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie 6.  Force Majeure - Tangerine Dream 7.  RadioActivity - Kraftwerk 8.  Timewind - Klaus Schulze 9.  Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd 10. Year Of The Cat - Al Stewart Back to top

When they find a Fleetwood Mac they proceed to arrest him. Later, the cassette proves to be "the early stuff" and he's let off! I always thought "Future Days" was FM's best album. Back to top

Scatterplot Group: Members Posts: 1981 Joined: Dec. 2007 Posted: July 29 2009, 03:48 A cool thread. A hard question too as a lot won't be MO. In no particular order of preference, but I would die without(water and food and sharks/snakes excluded) 1. Genesis-Trick of the Tail 2. MO-Hergest Ridge, No remix, my Porky cut version 3. Renaissance-Novella 4. Steely Dan-(I could say the "Citizen Steely Dan box set which is all their albums to 1980, but I would be cheating, yes?) so I guess Steely Dan "The Royal Scam" in this slot. 5. Roxy Music-Flesh+Blood 6. America-Holiday 7. MO-Discovery 8. David Gilmour at The Royal Albert Hall(kind of cheating here since I get PF all the way back to Echoes and Arnold Layne plus material up to and including "On an Island") but if that is cheating, insert PF-Animals 9. Moody Blues-Seventh Sojourn(wish I could have picked the "Time Traveller" box set, but that's cheating) 10. Alan Parsons Project-The Turn of a Friendly Card Jim -------------- We raise our voices in the night Crying to heaven And will our voices be heard Or will they break Like the wind Back to top

Genesis-Trick of the Tail Yes was a Major suprise how good this 1st Collins Lead Vocal Album was.. Deff one of my Fav Albums.. As was the Follow up Wind & Wuthering with the Lovely "Afterglow" Song on Board.   -------------- We're Flying Aeroflot, We've Got Reservations. Back to top

Scatterplot Group: Members Posts: 1981 Joined: Dec. 2007 Posted: July 29 2009, 04:35 My fav. Genesis era (sorry if it pisses off some) was not the Gabriel years(although Nursery Cryme in its entirety and "Firth of Fifth" are some of my favs. The era for me was 1976 to 1980. From "Trick" to "Duke". But as I had only 10 slots, Trick was my pick without any kick from a chick or light from my Bic or advice from Dick that arrogant prick(ok Jim, we've seen you had the hots for your English teacher, Karen in the 70's) Shut up! Oh my, wish I had an 11th slot for Van Halen. "Hot for Teacher" was a good one! In fact their 1st album is a must have for anyone over 6. -------------- We raise our voices in the night Crying to heaven And will our voices be heard Or will they break Like the wind Back to top

Genesis era Perhaps I should start a new thread entitled "British comedians take the piss out of pop groups"... Anyway, wrt Genesis, there's a classic line by Rik Mayall in The Young Ones, where he gets into a sulk and says "Well, this is boring! We might just as well be listening to Genesis". Another time, Rik says: "No one listens to me. I might just as well be a Leonard Cohen album!" Back to top

nightspore Group: Members Posts: 4770 Joined: Mar. 2008 Posted: July 29 2009, 22:22 Wot - no Coldplay among all these choices? I'd have thought their X and Y good for a mench or two.... VlV is good too, especially "Reign of Love", with its beautiful, Janacek-ish feel. Back to top
