Pajiba commenters pick their five "Desert Island" albums: "...this isn’t a list of what you think are the best albums ever, nor is it a list to show off your wide and diverse musical tastes. It is your true comfort albums. The discs you know you could listen to for the rest of your life, in between cracking coconuts and pushing buttons in the hatch ( Read more... )

I know, right? That's why I had to cheat and put so many honorable mentions on there. ;)

Swap out Achtung for Ani DiFranco's Living in Clip and The Clash for The Essential Leonard Cohen Disc 1 and I'm good. Doughty can stay in the first alternate slot.

I know, like seriously...how can anyone just choose FIVE? I cant even...nevermind--the mind boggles at what to pick. I'll probably think about this all the rest of the afternoon now.

You SERIOUSLY have a Bubs album in your almost-top five?

that's amazing.

I'll have to think on mine and get back to you.

It's SUCH a good CD! :) Also, I'm kind of a nerd.

....how do you have a Bubs CD?? Did you GO to Tufts? Can I look you up in our awesome Alumni Database and stalk you for money? What is this, clarify, plz.

Also, since I am at work, I have no acess to my music, but I will certainly think on this one. I have an inkling about them, but I know I'm forgetting some. :P

No, I went to Brandeis, but I was on the arts section of our school paper, so I went to a LOT of a cappella concerts. We saw them at a couple, and CJ and I just fell in love. I was at school during what I think was a particularly good stretch for the Bubs... and I could definitely listen to that CD a million times, if just for their version of "Major Tom/Space Oddity". So good, srsly.

I'm thinking I might go upload all these albums now...
