    Well you don't get the entire compendium. An artist and an album. But a greatest hit album is acceptable.

    One artist? I'll take the Riverside Shakespeare, no CD player or batteries needed.

    1 CD? I'm sure there is one out there with a compilation of '80s hits, mixing some Prince in with a couple of my favorite New Wave tunes, so, that one.

    In the Improvisational Acting class I took a couple of years ago, one assignment everybody had to do was bring in a song and lead the entire class in an improvised dance to that song. I brought in "When Doves Cry".

    Yeah, see there's my conundrum. My single album is Yoshimi, but my easily favorite band is Wilco. I suppose the cynic in me would choose Kicking Television, a live double album that reads basically like Wilco's greatest hits up to 2005.

    If it is one artist on one album, I can't pick one, but definitely under consideration would be "Imperial Bedroom" (Elvis Costello) and "Purple Rain".

    Also under consideration: "What's the Story, Morning Glory?" (Oasis), "Everybody Else is Doing It, Why Can't We" (The Cranberries), Patsy Cline's Greatest Hits, "Marshall Crenshaw" (Marshall Crenshaw), The Eagles Greatest Hits, an album that I own called something like "The Best of the Motown Sound", and "Home" (The Corrs)

    By the time I figured out which one to bring, I would have missed the plane (or the boat) and I wouldn't wind up on the desert island in the first place.

    An incredible album

    This is tough b/c I am a music mix person. I might have to go with the Traveling Wilburys first album.

    Why not a box set?

    I guess if it is your island it's ok.

    Hmmm, maybe I should just bring a juke box? That would limit it to items that have been pressed into vinyl however. Though I hear there are some efforts to expand offerings.

    Somewhat more apropos of this thread than most of my posts, I offered pop tarts to my 2 y/o son this morning for breakfast as a treat. He was less than interested.

    Well, sure - but what fun is that???

    I was tempted to try one; I can't think of the last time I had one.

    When my wife was in college, she had chocolate fudge pop tarts and a diet coke every morning. I'm surprised she's still with us!

    Realizing that this completely misses the point of the question, I have 30 days of Red Book (CD) quality music on my phone. I mean, if we're allowed to bring an album, presumably this desert island comes equipped with a current bush, so recharging shouldn't be a problem.

    The diet coke was probably worse for her than the Poptarts.
