Ben Folds makes me hate myself when I try to play the piano, he's so good. Rocking The Suburbs has some beautiful stuff on it.

I have no idea what I'd take to a desert island, because I know I'd eventually get tired of it. I think I'd prefer to take a guitar or piano, because that would get rid of a lot of the limitations, plus it would give me something to do. I'd be a damn fine musician by the time I was rescued.

SoNowThen

Vines - Highly Evolved
Coldplay - Parachutes
Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers
Stones - Let It Bleed
Stones - Beggars Banquet
Stones - Exile On Main St
Pink Floyd - Animals
Bob Dylan - Blood On The Tracks
Oasis - Be Here Now
Oasis - What's The Story (Morning Glory)

Well, that's ten... but I'd also sneak in: Led Zep, Radiohead, Ryan Adams, and Aimee Mann.

Oh hell, who am I kidding.... I'd bring ALL the Stones albums.
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

this will be difficult...

Alice in Chains-Unplugged (listened to it every day completely for at least a year straight)
Neil Young-Rust Never Sleeps (folk and rock 'n roll combined perfectly in one album)
Radiohead-Ok Computer (tough to pick any, heart pick is the Bends but..)
Tool-Aenima (are they really in the metal genre?!)
Sparklehorse-It's a Wonderful Life (perfect melancholy)
Uncle Tupelo Anthology (pioneers, great collection)
Beatles-Abbey Road (must-have)
Thursday-Full Collapse (need a little raw energetic rock)
Wilco-Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (need my share of challenging records if i'm stuck on an island)

now off to make a thread for the ten CD's you thought you brought with you to the deserted island
the rumble of the train trails off to infinity, a place where no one goes anymore

JC, no not that one
