"the hits/b-side" do count!

Prince Albums

Grafitti Bridge
Rave
Lovessexy

Non Prince

Sly Stones Greatest Hits
Radiohead Kid A
and, don't laugh
G'NR Appetite for Destruction

SOTT, 1999, the Hits triple disc.
Debut (Bjork), The Singles (Depeche Mode), Greatest Hits (Lenny Kravitz)

For value for money, I would take Hits/B-sides, Emancipation and Crystal Ball (10 CDs!!). But SOTT is too good, so I'll go for:

Hits/B-sides
Emancipation
SOTT

still 9 CDs, which isn't bad...

Purple Rain - I could settle for just this one
Graffiti Bridge
The symbol album from '93

Others:
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (Elton John)
Lap of Luxury (Cheap Trick)
The Whitesnake album wioth "Slow & Easy"

I'm new here too, but also a lurker from the old site. I think I'm 10+ years older than the rest of you!

Prince CD's
1. Purple Rain- THE best album ever, front to back, loaded with jams.
2. Emancipation- Not just for the sheer volume of the work, but some of the funkiest tracks ever.
3. Sign O' The Times- This has Adore on it right? nuff said


Non-Prince CD's
(you know i would want every Prince CD before any of these, but i'll play your little game)
1. It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back- Public Enemy....tight, funky, and raw. Chuck D said it all, and Flavor Flav had no conscience. "She Watch Channel Zero" is some serious shit.
2.Appetite For Destruction-Guns N Roses....Front to back, you can't beat this CD for quality. Hell, their signature song on this CD, "Welcome to the Jungle", isn't even one of the top 5 songs.
3.Garth Brooks-The Hits....I can do without his Honky-Tonk act, but this man has a GREAT voice for slow jams.

Handclaps....

2's company, 3's a crowd. Just me, P & the sea.

Prince-The Hits/B-sides, Emancipation, and Crystal Ball

Non Prince-Tori Amos-Crucify, Enya-The Memory of Trees, and Sarah McLachlan-Surfacing

2) Public Enemy-It Takes A Nation Of Millions (To Hold Us Back)---THE BEST RAP ALBUM
3) James Brown-Foundations of the Funk---the best JB complilation Ive heard.

Crystal Ball, Dirty Mind, Lovesexy

U2 - Best of...(cuz everything is on there too)
Bush - Sixteen Stone

TRC, The hits/disc one, Emancipation/disc 3

Non-P's:
Van Morrison MOONDANCE, Fuel SUNBURN, Radiohead, THE BENDS

prince,

emancipation
millennium grooves(boots from thunderball)

park cd set...any vol.(then i can pretend im at the park instead of some crappy island)

other artists:
the cure's greatest hits
lucky dube (this might help me groove the island more)
sugarcubes

if i were stuck on a desert island i'd scream for help til my throat's dry... then i'd use the back of newpower soul's cd to reflect sunlight in2 incoming ships... use another newpower soul disc as a weapon 2 fight off pirates... and at the end.. when all else fails.. end my life by listenin to new power soul forever... so NEW POWER SOUL is the winner!

NON-PRINCE ALBUMS

"Heroes" - David Bowie (because I've always wanted to listen to this album over and over when I had all the time in the world to pick it apart)

Tiger Bay - Saint Etienne (if I'm getting stuck on a desert island, I'll be needing some deliriously happy music)

Koyaanisqatsi - Phillip Glass (not really an all-time favorite, but it would be perfect listening for being stuck on an island)

Great choices on the non-prince albums!
