Choose 5

question, if you were stranded on a deserted island and had only five records with you....and for some odd reason a record player too

which would you choose
here are my Picks:

1.) De-loused In the Comatorium by: The Mars Volta



- an hour-long tale of Cerpin Taxt, a man who tries to kill himself by overdosing on a mixture of morphine and rat poison. The attempt lands him in a week-long coma during which he experiences visions of humanity and his own psyche. Upon waking, he is dissatisfied with the real world and jumps to his death. The story of Cerpin Taxt is based on the death of El Paso, Texas artist - and Bixler-Zavala's friend - Julio Venegas.


2.) For Emma, Forever Ago by: Bon Iver



- Following the break-up of his previous band DeYarmond Edison, Justin Vernon secluded himself in a cabin in northwestern Wisconsin for three months planning to "hibernate." Three months of solitude resulted in the creation of For Emma, Forever Ago. "All of his personal trouble, lack of perspective, heartache, longing, love, loss and guilt that had been stockpiled over the course of the past six years, was suddenly purged into the form of song.


3.) The Satanic Satanist By: Portugal. The Man




- The Satanic Satanist is the fourth full length album from Alaskan experimental rock band Portugal. The Man. The album's artwork is a combination of photographs and watercolor illustrations by lead singer John Gourley.


4.) The Mysterious Production of Eggs By: Andrew Bird



- Andrew Bird & the Mysterious Production of Eggs is the second album of Andrew Bird's career post-Bowl of Fire, released in 2005, following his Weather Systems in 2003. The album art, along with track illustrations in the accompanying booklet were drawn by Jay Ryan.



5.) The Low end Theory By: A Tribe Called Quest




- The Low End Theory is stylistically reminiscent of mid-1980s hip hop. Ali Shaheed Muhammad and rappers Q-Tip (who also produced the entire album) and Phife Dawg showcase how rap was done before commercial success influenced many rappers' creativity. The album's minimalist sound is "stripped to the essentials: vocals, drums, and bass." The bass drum and vocals emphasize the downbeat on every track.
