If you knew you were gonna be stranded...

[bestseller92]

...on a deserted island for six months, what three Jimmy Buffett CDs would you take along? (And yes, I know that if you KNEW you were gonna be stranded you probably wouldn't go in the first place, but play along, K? And yes, you will have batteries for your CD player.)

The CDs must be original factory albums (no compilations, live sets or self-made mix CDs).

I think I'd have to go with "Fruitcakes", "A1A" and "Changes in Latitude".

If I amended my own scenario to allow live albums I'd throw in the Anguila set.

Anyone else wanna Pick Three?

[SharkysMV1]

A1A

Floridays

SOASOAS

and if live releases were allowed, I'd pick Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays

Wouldn't be a problem as I'm assuming I'd be stranded with my iPod

Why only 3?

If you knew you were going to be stranded, why not take them all?

[citcat]

I'd have to go with the ones I already play the most:

Banana Wind
Fruitcakes
A White Sport and a Pink Crustacean (sp?)

[cdnkeywest]

Hmmmmm...

Have to take these 3 to be stranded with:

1) Floridays

2) A1A

3) Far Side of the World

[the good fight]

A1A
Barometer Soup

1994-1996 was a great time to be a Parrothead!!

in my opinion (humble as it is) I believe these three albums are one of the best 3-consecutive releases of ANY artist.

--wow, did I just issue a CHALLENGE!?!?!


OK, so I didn't really think about that too long, so I'm sure there are plenty others.
Including :
A White Sport Coat & A Pink Crustacean
Living & Dying In 3/4 Time
A1A


Achtung Baby
Zooropa
Pop

I like the way you think....I'm goin' with those too

Changes in Latitude

Son of a Son of a Sailor

A1A


Live: You Had To Be There

[popcornjack]

this is a funny question. To me, far and away, no second thought involved is CINLCIA. That to me is the Jimmy buffett album, which just goes to show how subjective this question is. Going just studio albums, I'd have to go CILCIA, Banana Wind, and White SportCoat.







ask me in 5 minutes, though, and I'd probably change 2 of those 3.

[VanillaGrl]

Achtung Baby
Zooropa
Pop

Those are my 3 choices too!!! But I would find a way to sneak in Rattle and Hum as well!

I've always said that U2 are usually ahead of their time with their music. The music/songs on Achtung Baby!, in my opinion, would be more popular today than they actually were when it was released. It is definitely an album I can listen to every song, every time, no skipping to one I like better...all of them kick ass. (okay...so I may be just a bit biased here )

And regarding the posted question, for me:

Banana Wind
Floridays
Far Side of the World

[Tequila Revenge]

L&D in 3/4 Time
A 1 A
Barometer Soup


or I could take

Beaches

Bars

Boats

They're damn good, but Elvis' "From Vegas to Memphis" (1968), "From Elvis in Memphis"(1969) and "That's the Way it Is" (1970), John Denver's "Farewell Andromeda" (1973), "Back Home Again" (1974) and "Windsong" (1975) and Waylon's "Ol' Waylon" (1977), "I've Always Been Crazy" (1978) and "What Goes Around Comes Around" (1979) are MIGHTY tough competition.
