Reggie29 Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Ok, you are shipwrecked on a desert island, you salvaged a CD player and you only have enough time to pick one disc. What would it be? No compilations, Boxed sets, Best of or Greatest Hits etc. Multiple disc albums ok, i.e. Physical Graffiti etc. This was a poll of the top 100 desert island discs on a Sydney FM station. Do you agree / disagree with the list? http://www.vega953.com.au/site/music/deser..._countdown.aspx Led Zeppelin 10. IV 46. Physical Graffiti 62. II 78. Houses Of The Holy Quote

Dark Side is an all time masterpiece but songs about insanity, lonliness and aging would hardly be appropriate in this situation. I would personally go with a double album 'cause 2 is better than 1. Right now i'd pick PG or Exile on Main Street but in an hour i might pick something totally different. Quote

Puck Slapping Maple Sucker Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 HOTH will always be my desert island cd from Zeppelin, but I would take "Rocks" by Aerosmith over anything else. Quote
59LesPaul Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 I would take "Rocks" by Aerosmith over anything else. .....because it is... c'mon man;you're slackin' off!! Quote
Puck Slapping Maple Sucker Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 .....because it is... c'mon man;you're slackin' off!! and I'll make damn sure it's the quadraphonic vinyl, because it does as well! Quote
Zepaholic Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 and I'll make damn sure it's the quadraphonic vinyl, because it does as well! One of the most kick-ass hard rock recordings ever made. Quote
DoubleNecker Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 I still haven't heard Rocks....I'm starting to think hard rock isn't that great anymore >_> Quote
59LesPaul Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 and I'll make damn sure it's the quadraphonic vinyl, because it does as well! Fuckin' thing sounds great doesn't it? You have a Quadraphonic system? No shit? It even sounds great in conventional stereo. I still haven't heard Rocks....I'm starting to think hard rock isn't that great anymore >_> Get it and listen to it. Now. Quote
Virginia Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Desert island = reggae; I would need some Bob Marley! "Live" or "Burnin" if we can't do live albums. Quote
Puck Slapping Maple Sucker Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Fuckin' thing sounds great doesn't it? You have a Quadraphonic system? No shit? It even sounds great in conventional stereo. It's amazing, but I don't have the system though. Just conventional. I wish I had the quadra version of Wings. Quote
DoubleNecker Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Get it and listen to it. Now. I have it, just haven't listened. Quote
Fresh Garbage Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 One of the most kick-ass hard rock recordings ever made. This was the very first real true rock record I ever heard! my older brothers would play it over and over.....lol Quote
Puck Slapping Maple Sucker Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 This was the very first real true rock record I ever heard! my older brothers would play it over and over.....lol Same story like that for '59 as well. I hope to inluence someone like that someday. Quote
Bustle In My Hedgerow Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Shit... Meatloaf over DSOTM? I'd probably pick between 2. DSOTM ... hey there has to be SOMETHING smokable of the island 10. LZ IV 35. White Album 84. Jagged Little Pill Quote
Stargroves Tangie Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 PG would definitely be my pick- never get tired of it. BTW, who is Cold Chisel? I see one of their albums was #4 & they had a few more on the list as well. Quote
59LesPaul Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 I have it, just haven't listened. Check it out when you can;its' definetly worth it. Same story like that for '59 as well. Close;but no cigar That was this: I discovered Rocks on my own.... Quote

LedZep4Ever Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Ok, you are shipwrecked on a desert island, you salvaged a CD player and you only have enough time to pick one disc. What would it be? No compilations, Boxed sets, Best of or Greatest Hits etc. I remember in the very early 80’s (long before CD’s and CD Box Sets), a local radio station in Columbus did a number called “Taken It to the Streets”. Each week, they would ask people different questions, then play them back on the air. One week, the question was “If you were stranded on a deserted island and could only have one album to listen too, what would it be?” Mine was Physical Graffiti, since it was a double album. Double the pleasure and many, many great songs!!! Quote
