10 albums i want with me if i get stranded on a deserted island


1. BEATLES Abbey Road...i will never get tired of listening to "I Want You". Yes, i know, it's just one line that Lennon sings over and over again, i don't care. it's hypnotic.
2. POWER OF SOUL: A Tribute To Jimi Hendrix...for two main things: Kravitz and Prince. Kravitz's voice is amazing in Electric Lady Land, and Prince's guitar is awesom in Red House.
3. GLENN'S 80'S MIX!!!...not really an album, but hey, it's the best!
4. BOB MARLEY Tuff Gong...what i call the mini definitive best of marley album. sad that it's missing alot, but still great, nonetheless. and hey, you're on an island, to not have marley with you, you know you're definitely fucked.
5. BOB DYLAN Lost Diamonds...two words: CRAZY LOVE
6. STEALING BEAUTY OST...here's one album that has mazzy star, billie holiday, hole, john lee hooker, santana AND nina simone all in one. how can you beat that?
7. LAZY SUNDAY...this compilation is a must have even if you aren't stuck on a deserted island. it's got tunes that'll make you feel like falling asleep on the sand, and then immediately shift to tunes that'll make you feel good about drowning yourself. pretty.
8. ELLA FITZGERALD AND LOUIS ARMSTRONG Ella and Louis...i grew up listening to this album. i will die listening to this album. and if i'm stuck on a deserted island to die...this is the music that i wanna listen to while i wait for it to end.
9. I AM SAM OST...arguably the best compilation of beatles renditions ever made.

10. ROLLING STONES Wild Horses. The saddest song in the world.
