Nah, Rockstar by Nickleback ruins it.

Rumours
John Martyn - Well Kept Secret
Judie Tzuke - Welcome To The Cruise
Brenda Russell - Brenda Russell (1979 album)
Steely Dan - Aja
Chic - C'est Chic
Everything But The Girl - Temperamental
Joe Walsh - But Seriously, Folks
Dire Straits - Making Movies
Doobie Brothers - Minute By Minute

Good list and not dissimilar to mine.... might swap Making Movies for Communiqué and I'd need Desire by Dylan, maybe take Chic out.

I'd miss Supertramp.

I presume you both drove BMW 3 series in the mid eighties?

I did actually.... when they were the 'must have' car. I had one as a company car and for my budget there were no extras... so no power steering, electric windows, aircon,... they were all extra. I don't know my model numbers very well for BMW's but this was the era of a chrome topped bumper. I loved it!

I had a summer job at a BMW garage, and all the 3 series had the same CD’s and tapes in them! Dire Straits being compulsory.

Could've been worse and all had a copy of David Bowie's Let's Dance in them.

5: Rondò Veneziano – Venice in Peril

Wow. That takes me back.

Glad to see plenty of love for Mike Oldfield on this thread; easily my favourite artist. If I did my true top 10, it would probably contain 10 Oldfield albums.

Bear in mind that it's a desert island ten, not ten favourite albums of all time.

Would you really only want to listen to one artist for the rest of your life?

I'm surprised at some people having chosen all from the same genre, let alone artist.

[Pastor Of Muppets]

In no particular order my desert island would have these along with a Marshall stack and a Jackson soloist so i could
jam along with some of them. (Hopefully this island would have electricity)

Slayer, Reign in blood.

Rush, Hemispheres

Joe Satriani, Crystal Planet

Testament, The new order

Status Quo, Live! Glasgow Apollo.

AC/DC, Flick of the switch

Metallica, Ride the lightning

Metal Church, The Dark

Judas Priest, Screaming for vengeance

Iron Maiden, Number of the Beast

I know, that's why I said "true top 10".

[Alex]

Here we go. Showing my age, and also a fairly clear indication of my formative years, and the music I listened to most.

Adam and the Ants - Kings of the Wild Frontier
Mike Oldfield - Amarok
A-Ha - Scoundrel Days
Erasure - The Circus
Jethro Tull - Broadsword and the Beast
Enya - Shepherd Moons
Depeche Mode - Music for the Masses
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Queen - A Night at the Opera
Beatles - Sergeant Pepper

[PistonBroker]

I won't rank them but;

Stone Temple Pilots - Purple

Bring Me The Horizon - That's the Spirit

Taking Back Sunday - Louder Now

Faith No More - Angel Dust

Terrorvision - How to make friends and influence people

Level 42 - The very best (makes me sound like Alan Partridge!)

Foo Fighters - Foo Fighters (though a greatest hits is tempting here as well!)

Def Leppard - Hysteria

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

Carole King - Tapestry

I suspect I was probably a cliché in the 80's.... new 3 Series, house in Parsons Green, Tracy Chapman playing on the CD player at dinner parties, Dire Straights in the car. It felt good at the time.

I had a mate who did time for robbery. Got nearly two years in Strangeways. Says listening to Tracy Chapman in the nick saved him, gave him hope for the future. I guess listening to Tracy Chapman at a dinner party or in prison are probably similarly awful scenarios in my book.

Tracy Chapman is very talented and very well respected and quite often is in the small selection of albums/discs used for reference when checking out high end hi-fi.

You wanna give that cheap hi-fi the elbow then.

I don't actually own a hi-fi. If I did I wouldn't have ever played Tracy Chapman on it anyway.
