So between Heavy metal music, Yoko Ono and Bob Dylan, plus the stuff about the 80's on WIGO-CP, we've been talking music lately. What do you listen to, Rat-wikians? If you could only own ten CD titles, what would they be?
TheoryOfPractice
- Miles Davis The Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel 1965
- Ornette Coleman Beauty is a Rare Thing
- Bob Dylan Blood on the Tracks
- Frank Zappa Shut Up and Play Your Guitar
- Bill Evans The Complete Village Vanguard Recordings 1961
- Charlie Parker the Complete Savoy Sessions
- John Coltrane The Heavyweight Champion
- Glen Gould Bach Preludes, Fughettas and Fugues
- Clifford Brown The Complete Blue Note-Pacific Jazz Recordings
- Duke Ellington Live at Newport 1958
carptrash
In no particular order, and with minimal thought
- Catch-a-Fire -Bob Marley and the Wailers
- Rubber Soul - the Beatles
- Working Man's Dead -Grateful Dead
- Little Richard's Greatest Hits
- Best of the Everly Brothers (2 CD set)
- Hitsville USA (best of Motown), vol 1
- the Complete Stax-Volt vol 2 or 3 (depending on the phase of the moon)
- the Do-Wop Box set - probably vol. 2, but . . ....
- Essential Willie Nelson (2 CDs)
- the Paul Butterfield Blues Band
Irrational Atheist
- The Afghan Whigs Black Love
- Bôa The Race of a Thousand Camels
- Faith No More The Real Thing
- Nine Inch Nails With Teeth
- Nirvana Nirvana
- Pavement Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
- Pearl Jam Ten
- Possum Dixon Possum Dixon
- R.E.M. In Time
- Skinny Puppy Too Dark Park
ListenerX
I would retain a box-set of the works of G.F. Handel, viz.:
- Alexander's Feast
- Israel in Egypt
- Judas Maccabaeus
- Messiah
- Ode for St. Cecilia's Day
- The Choice of Hercules
Toast
Very Difficult but out of about 5000, allowing only one per artist:
- (in order of pretentiousness)
- Edvard Grieg: Peer Gynt, In the Hall of the Mountain King
- JSB: Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565
- KT Tunstall: Black Horse and the Cherry Tree
- The Rolling Stones: Paint It Black or Little Red Rooster
- The Pogues featuring Kirsty MacColl: Fairytale of New York
- The Lovin' Spoonful: Summer in the City
- The Beatles: Norwegian Wood
- Led Zeppelin: Stairway to Heaven
- Lou Reed: Walk on the Wild Side
- Beach Boys: Anything from Pet Sounds but if pressed: Wouldn't it Be Nice
But I'd ditch 'em all for:
- Sinéad O'Connor: Nothing Compares 2 U

Don't know the names, but here are the sounds I'd like to here:
- wolves howling with a bit of Bach mixed in
- the sound of a meadow at night
- the sound of a rainforest at night
- tree frog calls
- the sound of dolphins and whales
- the sound of songbirds in a temperate forest with some ambience
- the sound of savannah songbirds mixed with African drum music
- rapidly, osscilating, high freqeuncy rythems
- the sound of cats purring
- the sound of the Colbert Report
But I'd give them all up for a magazine subscription, a two-way radio, and the New York Times. With a Danish. Or, a cat.
