if you were stranded on a desert island and you had the choice of 10 albums to have with you (with the facilities to be able to play them of course) which 10 would you choose?

Don't forget - you could be on the island for years and years and years.................

I haven't compiled mine as yet - I'm still thinking...........

Just found this sight thru a Google Alert I have sat up for Timothy B Schmit. In looking at this sight, I am enjoying reading all the music stuff so I thought I would sign up. I only belong to 2 other forums and one of them is an Eagles board.
Got to say I was very pleased with this list right here!! It really got my attention. Obviously someone who has the same taste I have.

My list tho would be:
Long Road Out Of Eden-Eagles
Feed The Fire-Timothy B Schmit
Best Of The Eagles Volume 1-Eagles
Hell Freezes Over-Eagles
The Long Run-Eagles
Hair Of The Dog-Nazareth
Zeppelin 2-Led Zeppelin
Anthology-The Cars
Give Us A Wink-Sweet
Dark Side Of The Moon-Pink Floyd
