Desert Island: Musician Catalogs

I enjoy the 'Desert Island' thought experiment of trying to weed down favorites (music, authors, movies, etc...) to bare minimums. This time I am focusing on which ten musicians' entire catalogs I would take to the island (instead of choosing particular albums), in order to make my lifetime stay more enjoyable.

In alphabetical order:

  • Cocteau Twins
  • Miles Davis
  • Def Leppard
  • The Doors
  • Nick Drake
  • Ivy
  • Lush
  • Trevor Pinnock (classical conductor)
  • R.E.M.
  • Pete Yorn
Through a happy accident (and my wide musical tastes) I have a breakdown of: one classical, one jazz, three female lead singers, and representatives of 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and 00's rock. And while I would miss many songs from other areas, I think I could survive quite nicely on this rather large collection.
