Eight fucking records people, eight records.

And a good book and a luxury.

Phucking filistines.

I'm listening a lot to two albums by a band called 3hostwomexicansandatinofspanners if that helps anybody know me or find their music. One is called Everything Is Fucking Shit. The other is Pegasus Bridge. Anyone can allow me to have some digitals of the other stuff I'd be really super terribly grateful, I don't really know where to look. Fucking aces.

I expect some of my other records on my desert island will be a bit less shouty.

Aha, back on track, as it were.
More rewarding lists, and if 100 fit in your pocket, lay it out there.
Miss M: I'm sure your list would be divine.
croft: friendliest forum, remember?
hippy: "whinging bitches". Can't find anything on them, some kind of supergroup?

Jeez I liked alot of your list. I'd love to hear all those Husker Du albums again - I guess my brother had them cos I know them but don't have them. I'd really forgotten about them.

You heard 3hos btw? They're from Bristol, around up to about five years ago

Great thread, given me a lot to listen to
I wonder why this didn't catch on:-

http://www.lfgss.com/post2670614-68.html

Probably because the initial parameters were too wide:
Airplanes, et cetera.

In no particular order.

Earl Sweatshirt - EARL
Various Artists - Eccentric Soul: Twinight's Lunar Rotation
Madvillain - Madvillainy
MF DOOM - Operation Doomsday
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
Death Grips - The Money Store

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
KRS-One/Boogie Down Productions - Edutainment
Entire Bombay Bicycle Club Discography

Then I'd have to burn a fuck load of Northern soul singles to a disc or five.

Radiohead - OK Computer
Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power
Louise Attaque
Manu Chao

My almost complete inability to understand either of the final two artists (French and Spanish) does not detract from my enjoyment of them. I'm assuming that a limitless supply of unspecified Drum and Bass is available on this island? That and the works of George Orwell and I'm a cheerful little castaway. Can I make rum whilst I'm there? I'm quite resourceful.

I absolutely love Manu Chao!

One ex called my music collection "Indie vagina emo music with warbling folky world overtones AKA utter dross".

that's amore

I absolutely love Manu Chao!

Not as much as I love rum...

This sums up my 2002-2004. Wow.

Are you saying that I need to get into some new records? I have to agree.

Ooops, no. Just some of them remind me of a certain chapter in my life.
There are some of your list I have never even heard of :)

I started to write out my top 25 but somehow managed to press the back button and it was all lost

However, Candy Apple Grey by Husker Du was in there - such a great album. And Sister by Sonic Youth.......ahhhhhh, those days.......

Just sticking to 8 to keep in the spirit of things.
