Hey NS, say you were stuck on a deserted island with enough food, water and shelter to last a lifetime, and you had a source of unlimited energy flowing into a standard 110 volt outlet (enough to plug in your huge stereo system that you brought with you). The person who sent you there gave you the option of bringing 5 albums.
Which ones would you select to be your only source of musical entertainment for the rest of your life?

Mine:



XO - Elliott Smith
Abbey Road - Beatles
Live 66 - Bob Dylan
O.C.M.S. - Old Crow Medicine Show
Ram - Paul McCartney

Hey Arabian.

Do you, PERHAPS, look like this?

I mean, if you think it's fair to cluster anyone who listens to a certain type of music into one stereotype then why can't I cluster you into a certain stereotype for being gay? Literally ALL gay guys worship The Village People right?

No Wish You Were Here? So solid, but that might just be me since Welcome to the Machine and Have A Cigar are two of my favourite Floyd songs.
