post 60. desert island albums.

last night, as i watched my reverend horton heat dvd, i was suddenly overcome with the urge to write down albums i would take with me to a desert island. but i gave myself only five minutes to do so, in order to make it less of an internal debate while also a bit gutsier. and, i figured, five minutes would represent the amount of time i would have in the hypothetical event that i was on a huge ocean liner with my entire cd collection. in the middle of a nautical disaster. while being close to a deserted island that had either electricity or lots of batteries. and, i would hope, lots of beautiful women in bikinis. so. in no particular order:

reverend horton heat, SMOKE 'EM IF YOU GOT 'EM.
u2, ZOOROPA.
nine inch nails, WITH TEETH.
living colour, TIME'S UP.
dj shadow, ENDTRODUCING.
the monkees, BEST OF.
mr. bungle, CALIFORNIA.
prince, PURPLE RAIN.
pink floyd, MEDDLE.
urban dance squad, MENTAL FLOSS FOR THE GLOBE.
