I posted this list on different website last week, but thought I should also put it here ... (I have actually changed a few of my choices, and I think this is a better list.)
Here are my 10 deserted-island albums, in no particular order:
- Kid A by Radiohead
- Music for Airports by Brian Eno
- Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
- Jordi Savall/Ton Koopman's recording of Bach's sonatas for viola da gamba and harpsichord
- Yo-Yo Ma's 1997 recording of Bach's cello suites
- John Eliot Gardiner/English Baroque Soloists' recording of Mozart's Symphony No. 41
- Post by Björk
- Hunky Dory by David Bowie
- ( ) by Sigur Rós
- Odelay by Beck
I am well aware that this lets most of my biases show. Be that as it may, this is what I would take with me if I was forced to leave today.
