your deserted on an island (forever) - you can only take 5 artists/bands music with you, whodoutake?

you get their entire discography, choosing the Beatles does not mean you get all their solo work as well unless your other picks where them. That goes for all the bands out there.

Don't worry it doesn't have to be on an ipod, you can have a vinyl table if you so wish and as many remasters of those particular aritsts/bands albums/singles as you like! If its on an ipod you'll have a charging device and a PC just for charging the ipod, how it works on an island I don't know but it does in a small shed like building.

5 only!

 

EZ...Stones, Beatles, Zeppelin, Rush, Floyd

 

Didn't we do this already? I had six before, so this time I'll take Beatles, Dylan, Stones, Zeppelin, Young. There's your five, my friend.

CD player with an ample supply of power + some weatherproof speakers and I'm good to go!

Nick Drake is understandable but ur going to be on this island for the rest of ur life and all his songs together probabl don't add up to 3 hours.

 

Spice Girls?

 

I had a hard enough time coming up with five artists whose entire discography I can live with - Nick will do. Besides, with my SAS training I'll be finding my way off that rock.

 

We'll see... muhahahahahahaha *strokes cat*

 

Not that there's anything wrong with it ....

 

Beatles, Stones, Dylan, Zappa, Who
