What is the one album you can be trapped on a desert island with for the rest of your life?
Hmmmm…
Voroxpete, The one that immediately comes to mind is Wolfgang Amadeus, by Phoenix.
ren, 
Oh dang!!
I’m still struggling to pick one. Lol
Toto, What immediately comes to my mind is my “super party mix” mix tape so good on you
BonesOfTheMoon, Neko Case, Middle Cyclone.
ren, oh dang! Great album. It’s also a sonically diverse album. Great call!
BonesOfTheMoon, Her voice! Knocks me out every time.
ren, No doubt! Running out of Fools destroys me every time.
serpentofnumbers, really hard to say, but the first one that jumped to mind is Miles Davis - Filles de Kilimanjaro
ren, I always appreciated Davis, but never got into his work. Love jazz, but jazz-jazz? Tough one for me.
Andjhostet, If you're coming from a rock background you could check out In a Silent Way or A Tribute to Jack Johnson, and if you like those, go to Bitches Brew.
Mothra, 
Carbon Based Lifeforms - Hydroponic Gardens (definitely a Carbon Based album, but it’s a tough choice)
18_24_61_b_17_17_4, 
Primus - Sailing the Seas of Cheese
Andjhostet, I can't figure out if I'd want something with vocals to give me a sense of companionship, or something without vocals so it doesn't drive me insane.
With vocals: Grateful Dead - Cornell 5/8/77
Without vocals: John Coltrane - Live at Village Vanguard
ren, I’m torn on if I want a “favorite album” or a compilation/best of?
clovernorth, 22, A Million
xfts, 
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - Smashing Pumpkins
kvn, I think you have an error in your question. My first thought when you said “desert album” album was to take that literally and say Mdou Moctar - Ilana: The Creator.
But I suppose you mean “desert island” album so I’ll say Sigur Rós - Takk…
I also thought about The Avalanches - Since I Left You but I fear that Frontier Psychiatrist will drive me insane.
ren, welp, that’s what I get for posting first thing in the morning DURING coffee and not after…
kvn, At least you can edit the title! Unlike that other place
ren, Right???
teddy-bonkerz, The Wind at Four to Fly, by The Disco Biscuits
But I'd have that Basis on repeat
Gejarrett, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco
ren, Such a good album.
dualcoreduron, Off the top of my head, Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
Master, Counting crows august and everything
ren, Oh dang! Classic.
krzschlss, 
I’ll go with something current. ‘The Loveliest Time’ by Carly Rae Jepsen. People around me seem to like this album a lot…
For the rest, I’ll just bang some coconuts against each other to create sound. This way I’ll become the best tribute band for various classic works on the island. Everyone’s welcome!
