You forgot Poland.

1. Gipsy Kings - Cantos De Amor.
2. Beatles - The White Album.
3. Cream - Wheels of Fire.
4. Shakira - Pies Descalzos.
5. Norah Jones - Come Away With Me.
6. Diana Krall - From This Moment On.
7. Cat Stevens - Tea for the Tillerman.
8. Dave Matthews/Tim Reyonlads - Live at Radio City CD.
9. Chron. of Narnia: Lion, Witch, Wardrobe CD.
10. Celtic Woman - Songs from the Heart.

Peter reminded me, I'm subbing in Mad Season for the AIC album.

And not a Cat Stevens album among them.

You missed #7.

I would need a lot of time to really think about this list. I can honestly say this one would probably not make it, but only because I never would have thought to consider it. Great pick!

Based on how I feel about music right now, and sticking with pop music (maybe I'll do a classical list later), I guess I'd pick:

1. Porcupine Tree "Deadwing"
2. Chet Atkins "Sails"
3. Camel "I Can See Your House From Here"
4. Max Webster "A Million Vacations" (Hey, it's a desert island with a beach, right?)
5. Mike Rutherford "Small Creep's Day"
6. Peter Gabriel "Secret World Live"
7. Yes "Going For the One"
8. Grand Funk "Live"
9. Joe Satriani "Surfing With the Alien"
10. Frank Zappa "The Greatest Band You Never Heard In Your Life"

No doubt I've missed things that will have me weeping and gnashing my teeth on my lonely island...

Speaking of gaming the system...

If we all ended up on the same island (or at least if our CDs all ended up on the same island) we'd have the start of a mighty fine record collection.

C'mon, Ken; which performance of the Beethoven 9th? Would the one with the squeaky chair passage which Beethoven added after consultation with Mozart still be your favorite?
