Time to resurrect this thread.

Here's my current answer:

Air - Moon Safari
Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
Brian Eno - Another Green World
The Cure - Disintegration
David Bowie - Low
Guided by Voices - Bee Thousand
The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Rush - Moving Pictures
Sigur Ros - ( )
The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden
Talking Heads - Remain in Light
A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory
XTC - Skylarking

Pretty much impossible to decide though... and this would likely change on a daily basis.

As to how my answer has changed in over 3 years...

Spoiler: show

Absolutely excellent list, Vomps. I had to leave some of those off my list, such as Children of God, Larks' Tongues, Swordfishtrombones, and Heavy Horses, that are just very, very good albums.

In reality, I think instead of desert island albums we should have desert island iPods. And that such iPods can hold an Exabyte of music. :P But then that wouldn't really lead to an interesting topic.

I have a really hard time deciding between all 4 of their albums. Honestly, one of them should be in there, I can't make my mind up as to which one, lol.

Thank you sir! And yes, our taste is rather parallel. I love Global Communication; that album you could almost say is my go-to ambient electronic album (excluding Another Green World, which is half-ambient or whatever), which says a lot.

Your list is very solid as well. I can't believe I don't have BoC, Pixies or even Henry Cow in my list, but it is what it is.

Awesome lists! Mine is subject to change as well, but here it goes...

Rush - Moving Pictures
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
Yes - Close to the Edge
The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden
King Crimson - Discipline
Brian Eno - Another Green World
Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Global Communication - 76:14
Sigur Ros - ( )
Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica
The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground and Nico

Okay, the cliche musical question:

You're stranded on a desert island and for some reason you only are able to bring 15 albums with you to listen to for the rest of your life (or your iPod is so small you can only fit that amount on there). So what are they? I made a list a few years back; I'll have to think about it myself.
