Music is my radar
Or rather it is for real people. With real people I spend time around them and notice what music they play. Sometimes discovering that people's taste in music can quite surprise me. And I do use taste in music as one way to evaluate how similar someone is to me...
But of course with you lot that doesn't work. And I really have no idea what you all like to listen to.
So a question to all of you. Desert island scenario, and you are allowed to keep the entire musical output of one band/composer/singer-songwriter/whatever floats your inflatable dinghy.
Who do you keep?
Impossibly hard to think of giving up the rest, I know. But do it.
Yes, it's R.E.M. for me. They juuuust about beat the Beatles.

Frank Zappa, mainly because that is what I always play when I am really angry, and when sometimes when I feel whimsical. Seeing that I only play music when I am either really angry or whimsical, Zappa is the only one that can be used for both. Wouldn't say that he's entirely representative of my musical taste though.
That is not an easy one.
I think I would have to go with Marilyn Manson. My favourite songs are mostly by other people, but I either haven't heard enough of them or don't like all of their stuff enough to make it worthwhile.
I love his stuff though.
John Butler Trio. Although he hasn't got a huge music backlog so I want another album before I get on this island.
Oh, I think Amazon deliveries of future releases to said island could probably be organised.
Gah. That's far too hard, Skit. But I think if it was an actual decision, I would have to go with Pink Floyd. Similar to what biped said, they're fantastic whatever your mood. They certainly do whimsical... definitely deep and meaningful, and their angry stuff is fab. Plus, the prospect of having their entire backlog at my beck and call is almost worth getting stranded on a desert island for! :)
I love so many bands and types of music, but I don't think I could live without Floyd.
FLASH! Ahhh oooooh! He's the saviour of the universe!
*cracks up*
I think a lifetime of only Queen would drive you insane...r.
Flash is going to be in my head for the rest of the night now, isn't it?
No bad thing.
Flash! You know I love you... but we've only got 14 hours to save the Earth!
Hang on - what happened to post-apocalyptic love? 14-hours-pre-apocalyptic just doesn't have the same pazazz.
