Lol @ wyltk. I gotta really think about this one. Like what if I picked Speakerboxx/The Love Below? Does a double-cd count as one if it’s in the same jewel case?

India Arie – Testimony: Vol. 1, Life & Relationships

It’s the only album I can listen to from beginning to end and love every single song. I’m still pissed she didn’t get that Grammy!

I’d bring a CD filled with about 150-175 MP3s of my favorite songs…assuming I can use my CD player that handles MP3s.

I would love to put down something like Innervisions, or Love Supreme, but in all reality, 1.) I think the batteries on my cd player would burn out, and 2.) this island that I’m stranded on, I’m sure, lacks the luxury of electricity, let alone an outlet to plug in my adapter, but hypothetically speaking, if I could do these things, even if I brought my most favorite cd to a stranded island, I’m sure I’d get sick of it–I’ve been to too many places (bars usually) where people have killed songs that I love because of overplay…yes…even Stevie Wonder.

I think I’d try to compose my own music with coconuts, twigs and palm tree leaves…and try to find a stream of water so I do not dehydrate. The cd I would have, I could maybe use as a crude hunting device luring in indigenous wild life with it’s shiny reflection from the sun.

Um, is that over-thinking the question?
