Saw your Exiles (excellent album, best sax solo ever, "Rip This Joint") and realized there were no Stones on my list. If not Exiles, then Beggar's Banquet.

Sounds like a decent list; where you go towards country I veer towards jazz though. Good music is just good music.

" My country" is is listed. I never could figure out Jazz. Miles Davis? "Good Music Is Good Music." ( I Agree)

damn, thats a big ole island

I would cheat a little and take:

Tom Pettys Greatest Hits
Don Henleys Greatest Hits
Beatles Greatest Hits
Sades Greatest Hits (New CD Coming Out Next Month)
Dark Side of the Moon
The Wall
Bob Segers Greatest Hits
Long Road out of Eden (Last one from the Eagles)
Hank Seniors Greatest Hits
Johnny Cash Live at Folsolm Prison

I've got some Miles, but he's not my favorite jazz artist. I lean more toward the great sax players like Charlie "Bird" Parker, Lester "the President" Young, and Dexter Gordon. I have about six albums (78rpm, 4 records to an "album") of Norman Granz' 13 volume "Jazz at the Philharmonic" set. These were recorded live in the late '40s... just some incredible jamming.

Oh yeah, there's definitely room for you on the island, huh Gen70?

The island is simply going to have to get bigger. After looking at my list, it was depressing to note that i would never be able to hear Francis Albert Sinatra again, CCR, the Guess Who, Heart, Tony Bennet, Annie Lennox, Elton John, Journey, Dylan, Simon and Garfunkle,Garth, etc, etc, etc.

My day is now ruined and its only noon.

As far as the Pixies go I would hate to pick any single one, my favorite changes from month to month. Been listening to Bossanova lately, Cecilia Ann is one of my favorite opening tracks for any album.

Good call with Take it from the Man, really good album. The newest stuff from BJM, not so great.

Just about any Rolling Stones, Ten Years After, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Beatles, Robert Cray, Eagles, Moody Blues, James Gang Rides again.

It's about time someone mentioned TYA! I must have seen them 4 or 5 different times in concert at the Fairgrounds Arena in the 70s! Best lineup: Robin Trower opening, followed by King Crimson, with Alvin Lee & co. closing!
