Velvet Posted December 5, 2001 Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 Okay, kinda bored, thought I'd throw out a topic at y'all. Here's the scenario: aliens without ears are about to blow up the earth, but you have miraculously been spared. Not only that, they're gonna take you back to their planet! Turns out though that they have no music, so they'll let you bring a discman and five, count 'em, five cd's. What're you gonna bring?here's my list: -Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier by G Gould (Bach was an alien anyway) -Picture of Nectar -Charles Mingus Anthology -Nevermind by Nirvana -Ween's live one, Painting the Town Brown.

Velvet Posted December 5, 2001 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 Wow, I can't believe I forgot Blow By Blow. Guess I'll have to leave the Ween behind. By the way, Mr. Monkey, I'm surprised you're a Steve Miller fan. Jungle Love, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted December 5, 2001 Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 I have a problem with the power. First of all, I'd doubt that they could provide the voltage necessary to power the discman, nor would they have enough AA batteries. I'll just assume that they've created a bridge between their unlimited quantum power source and our archaic electronics.Beatles: Abbey road Phish: Billy Breathes Grateful Dead: Live Dead (I'd have to loot it off of Andre's corpse though) Lenny Breau: Five O'Clock Bells/Mo' Breau Garcia/Grisman: Pizza Tapes It's damn hard to think too far back. I was sitting here trying to imagine the lp's that I have boxed away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted December 5, 2001 Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 The Grateful Dead - Live Dead (Looks like I have to hide it) Beatles - White Album Hendrix - Band of Gypsies, Live at the Fillmore Dereck&theDominoes - Live at the Fillmore (go buy this fucking album, best Clapton EVER) Miles Davis - Bitches BrewI feel like I am being abducted as we speak and I had 5 minutes to decide. This was surprisingly easy (at this moment however, come 6 oclock, the list may look different)I also just realized that each disc, aside from Live Dead, is a double album so I might want to reconsider Live Dead. Who am I kidding, if there were only 1 disc I could bring it would be that one. Darkstar crashes people!By the way, I love Velvet's signature. That is one of the best quotes I have seen in a long time.GordonHasSeenANOTHERPhilShow I am so jealous, he has seen more Phil shows than Treyter and Harpua have seen Phish shows.....I cant wait for the Spring Tour. Lets all go to Boston for 4 shows or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted December 5, 2001 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 Here I Go Again was on the setlist of my very first every gig. So was You Give Love A Bad Name, as I recall. (I'm shuddering, I'm really shuddering!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
