I hate these questions, but I'll try.

1. 13 Blues for Thirteen Moons, by A Silver Mt. Zion

2. In Rainbows, by Radiohead

3. To Bring You My Love, by PJ Harvey

4. Homogenic, by Bjork

5. Blackout, by Britney Spears

And before anyone says anything... that last choice is posted in absolute sincerity!

Dixie Chicks/Top of the World Tour(live).

I could survive on that.

Britney Spear's Blackout CD is great though so I can understand why you would add it. Being stranded on a desert island could use Britney's upbeat album, aha.

3) Missy Elliott - Miss E So Addictive

"Mirrorball (live)" by Sarah McLachlan

"Hybrid theory" by Linkin Park
