Your twenty albums you would take to a desert Island.

[Guest]

Welcome! Anybody with Slayer, Harout, Nick Cave and Miles Davis is A-OK

 

I've been wanting to check out Natacha Atlas. Would the one you listed be a good first one to get? She did some work with Jah Wobble that I liked.

 

Pink Floyd--Meddle, eh? The creepy part of Echoes was always a buzzkill.

 

Delerium, now there's something different! Never heard them, but I do like their main band Front Line Assembly.

 

Are you sure you'd take Rust In Peace over Peace Sells???

 

Doesn't the organ on that Harout CD make you think of Dodger Stadium??? Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is Ross Porter. Today we've got good a game lined up for you with Harout Pamboukjian starting for the Dodgers. Harout is 2 for 2 this season with an ERA of...(there's also a song where I swear Harout is singing, "Aaa Mondesi!")

 

BTW, clever name!

hmmm... very interesting...

 

i'm reading every1's posts & am amazed @ the variety in each pick on every list! personnaly, i would have a hard time picking specific albums 4 such a purpose becuz, as all of u know, most albums only have a couple of good songz that make the album actually worth sumthing! i'd rather burn 20 of my own personnalized CDs with sum particular artists & their specific songz; it would b much more productive & would certainly b alot more entertaining!!! sorry half breed if i'm screwing up ur topic alittle!!!! my purpose is not 2 derail it but rather 2 take it 2 the next level...

 

so, let me engage in my own musical taste analysis:

 

1) being a hardcore armenian music fan & a rabid "kef @nogh" & fun-loving partygoer, i'd definately have 2 include the top armenian popular dance artists & bandz & sum tekno-freakish armenian musicians as well...

 

-aram asatryan

-harout pamboukjian

-tata simonyan

-nune

-rabiz

-hokis

 

2) when thinking of armenian music, it is also necessary 2 consider the more instrumental & symphonic sides of our musical culture... we can never deny the classical forshadowing in our present-era armenian musical interests! now i couldn't possibly live on a deserted island without the comforting cries of the legendary duduk 2 ease my lonelyness, now could i??? not 2 forget the likes of our ancestral musical legendz:

 

-djivan gasparyan

-sayat nova

-komitas

-aram khatchaturian

-ara gevorkian

 

3) then comes the inevitable question of the everlasting parties... i'm young & i like 2 enjoy my youth!!! i live my life, i have fun... without the hypnotizing beatz of the tekno-trance-rave phenomenon of the 21st century, how could i possibly attain the level of moral & physical satisfaction that is required 4 a happy & joyful realisation f a lifetime!!!

 

-delirium

-dj tiesto

-daft punk

-trance control

-paul oakenfold

-paul van dyk

-atb

-enigma

-new order

& all other good trance tunes like kernkraft, sandstorm, on the move...

 

4) now, we obviously also must integrate some variety into our musical repertoire... this implies that our tastes get stretched 2 other cultures & more diverse styles of music. arabic, persian, latin, greek, french... and yes, event turkish... n e thing goes, as long as it soundz good:

 

-black catz, andy & some other kool teknoish bandari tunes

-alabina, amr diab, & sum khaled-mami-faudel (rai)

-shakira, gypsy kingz,

-monaxos, dimitris mitropanos & angela dimitriou

-charles aznavour, eric lapointe, dubmatique

-ohhh yesss... definately tarkan... his songz arn't bad!!!

 

5) every1 needs 2 rock once in a while... dont u???

 

-creed

-metallica

-pantera

-david usher (black black heart!!!!)

-lenny kravitz

-jimi hendrix

-ohhh dios!!! carlos santana!!!

-staind

-system of a down (armoz rock!!!!)

 

6) now, considering the trendz of pop culture, we can't deny the popularity of american artists & their dance-pop-rnb-hiphop music...

 

-sylver & safri duo

-sash & dimitri

-j lo & destiny's child (but not 2 much!!!)

-fragma, elissa, ian van dal & the rest

-busta rhymes, 2pac & dmx

-eminem & molotov

 

7) local favorites & remix djs... these individualz (or organisationz) r the ultimate form of musical satisfaction... well, now that i think about it, pick n e song from the list above, let the artists below remix it & i'll definately listen 2 it 4 a whole lifetime on an island!!!

 

-mc mario (canada's premiere dj)

-dj pulsedriver

-dj thunderpuss

-dj quicksilver

-ministry of sound

 

these pix might seem radical, i must agree... but they r nonetheless very relevant from a personnal point of view... consider these as the point of departure 4 most ppl of our era!!! u might not alwayz agree (it's totaly irrelevant in my opinion, but u might :-)), but believe me that if my list wuz realized in the context & the circumstances stated above, then i can assure u that u WILL enjoy the time spent listening 2 it!!! that i guarantee u!!!
