My buddy Drew posted this earlier today and it got me thinking a bit about what albums I’d bring along.  Of course, this is all a moot point since taking 5 albums along would be bigger than taking my ipod along, but that’s beside the point.  I guess the five that I would bring along are:

• Joshua Tree - U2 - Yes, its overplayed and some of the songs have been covered too many times to count, but its an album I keep going back to time and time again.
• Vista - David Wilcox - Thankfully he’s not referring to Microsoft’s disaster of an OS, but instead about a good view.  Just a marvelous collection of folk music.  Varies in mood, tempo, focus, etc.  A close second by him would be his newest album, Airstream.
• Blues Brothers Soundtrack - I don’t think I’ve listened to a soundtrack more than I have this one.  If I were stuck on a desert island, I’d need something like this for some humor.
• A Liturgy, A Legacy, and a Ragamuffin Band - Rich Mullins - If stranded, I’d need some music that would help to get me focused on Christ.  No album comes close to this one for me.  This album is a liturgical worship service that Rich put together in a stunning way.

And because no list would be complete without some type of hair band or variation upon said theme, I would lean towards

• Use Your Illusion 1 & 2 - GNR - If they would have only combined this into one album, it would be easily their best effort, but as it stands, they go together.  Amazing mix of songs.

Honorable mention in this category goes to S&M by Metallica & The San Francisco Symphony
