Because it's never too early to plan for a disaster, I'm preparing my "deserted island dozen" -- 12 CD's I would most want on a deserted island. Yes, my deserted island has an endless power supply and a surprisingly high quality CD player. Unfortunately it doesn't have a USB port to plug in my iPod.
1) Modest Mouse - Good News for People Who Like Bad News
2) Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde (hard to pass on Blood on the Tracks, but since Blonde is a double album, it makes more sense)
3) Ben Harper - Live from Mars (yes, double album)
4) Ani DiFranco - Revelling, Reckoning (yes, double again)
5) Led Zeppelin - I
6) Digable Planets - Reachin' (A Refutation of Time and Space)
7) Bob Marley - Legend (more diverse than my favorite, "Live!")
8) Sufjan Stevens - Seven Swans
9) Jeff Buckley - Grace
10) Lenny Kravitz - Acoustic Live
11) Radiohead - The Bends
12) U2 - The Joshua Tree
(My honorable mention albums that I tossed out at the last minute b/c I didn't have room in my backpack were: Damien Rice - 0, David Bowie - Honky Dorey, John Coltrane - My Favorite Things, Rage Against the Machine - S/T, Tori Amos - Under the Pink, Cure - Mixed Up, White Stripes - White Blood Cells, Yusef Lateef - Eastern Sounds, Beatles - White Album, Tom Waits - Closing Time, Nick Drake - Pink Moon, Bjork - Post)If I don't starve to death or get eaten by wild boars on my deserted island, I'll probably kill myself for not adding any jazz or enough musical diversity.
By the way, this is my deserted island, and it looks like I'm not completely alone after all. Good furtune.

Bryan, you said you didn't introduce me to 2 of those 5 albums listed in the sidebar. However, you introduced me to the band, so that was the spark that created the exploration.
About Adrive. I'm ready to find a new site. I can't upload/download anything. It force close explorer everytime I try. I've written to adrive support, so I'll see what they say.
I'm using my new computer with Vista, used XP before. Maybe it is related.
We'll see.
But this means I am unable, STILL, to listen to Subtle Nevada.
Expectations sitll mounting. Grammy-winning quality assumed.
Bryan, you should pug your dog/cupcake post up here. That was our first real post.
