Desert Island Discs

[MacGuffin]

Okay, you and Wilson are stuck on a desert isle, and before the plane sinks, you grab these ten discs to listen to on your solar powered CD player. If felt, you may explain why you chose to save that particular disc. (Double albums will count as one, but box set will count as the number of discs)

1.) The Beatles - Abbey Road (my favorite Beatles album)
2.) The Clash - London Calling (best punk album)
3.) The Cure - Wish (best Cure album, all tracks perfect)
4.) Dido - No Angel (reminds me of someone who was close to me)
5.) Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking (one of the best debut albums)
6.) Mazzy Star - So Tonight That I Might See (for those times when things aren't so rosy)
7.) Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral (Trent is awesome)
8.) Radiohead - OK Computer (just perfect)
9.) The Smiths - Louder Than Bombs (first CD I bought, love them as much as The Beatles)
10.) U2 - The Joshua Tree (poetic)
