Deserted Island Music

[ELECTRA]

Music? we no need no stinkin music! The beach would have its own song with sea, wind, and birds as the top performers.
I would let the whole lot go down with the ship.....the first thing I would grab is the Machete. See you on shore!!

[bacardi]

Neil Diamond - Hot August Nights
KISS - Double Platinum

[sctx]

No true soldier of the Kiss Army would mix Cold Gin with Niel Diamond!!!

Ok, ok apart from the machette I would have a disc of MP3's that have:

Speak & Spell-just can't get enough
Animotion- Obsession
Deee Lite- Groove is in the heart
Donna Summer -Bad Girl
How soon is Now- Love Spit Love
Midnight Star - No parking on the dance floor
Pet Shop Boys - opportunites
Shannon - Let the music play
Taco - Puttin on the ritz
and finally........Wall of Voodoo- Mexican Radio

Now top that!!!

ELECTRA,

Don't go breakin' the rules, boy.

I'm digging the responses, so far. Soon, maybe we should each name our favorite 1 or 2 tracks from each album, and I, in the spirit of brotherly and sisterly grooviness will burn those onto a CD and mail them out to y'all.

"The Hits of PlayaInfo"

Keep 'em coming...

Last time I checked, James A.

[TAPPY]

Fleetwood Mac - Rumors (or Greatest Hits)
Al Green - Greatest Hits


(Electra - that is a great mix by the way !!!!)...I also love Neil Diamond and the Eagles...wait I want to grab some Jimmy Buffet to !!! I would prob drown trying to decide !!!!!

Sex on the Beach - by T-Spoon

And maybe a certain song by Liz Phair.....

Okay - EVERYTHING by Stevie Ray Vaughn...

(including Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin)

and many many more....

like Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Jonny Lang, Santana, Clapton, BB King, Buddy Guy, Tab Benoit, Robert Cray, Joe Walsh, Susan Tedeschi, Jeff Beck, The Allman Brothers (LIVE at the Fillmore East), ZZ Top, Barry Manilow**...etc, etc....

I was thinking more "Island" flavor...

....mon......

**Just seeing if you're paying attention...

[James A.]

Robert Cray...whoa...and I thought I was the only one!

James A.

[Bumper]

Classical Gas - Mason Williams
W*O*L*D* - Harry Chapin (Or almost anything by this inspired troupadour)

Now THAT'S diverse!!

(For you youngsters, these selections come from the almost pre-electric era. Y'know, like when you had to watch TV by candlelight )

Paying attention indeed, Cuff. A formidable line up. You are obviously the quintessential axe fan. I'm impressed with the breadth of you knowledge. I offer Randy Bachman, Oscar Lopez, Ralf Illenberg, Stanley Jordan, Ottmar Liebert, Earl Klugh, and my all-time favourite - Lee Ritenour. Obviously, my tastes run a little more to the jazzy side.

As for your other note about Harry Chapin, I'm a major fan. He came to Winnipeg just about every year, and we never missed him. You're right about Tom & Stephen as well. They're real talents, as are Big John Wallace, whatever young lady was playing cello for him any particular year, and the rest of his band, though there was certainly never any doubt about who was the main attraction. We saw him perform here about three weeks before he was killed. I have waited in vain for someone to emerge to assume the mantle, but we've never been able to find an heir. A shame.
