Julie London
Velvet Underground
Françoise Hardy
Scott Walker
Marvin Gaye
Serge Gainsbourg
David Bowie
Joy Division
Kylie Minogue
Cat Power

― Susan (Susan), Friday, 19 September 2003 09:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Take out Serge Gainsbourg for inventing Trip hop

and add the Fall

Julie London
Velvet Underground
Françoise Hardy
Scott Walker
The Fall
David Bowie
Joy Division
Kylie Minogue
Cat Power

― MikeB, Friday, 19 September 2003 09:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Orbital
Velvet Underground
Françoise Hardy
Scott Walker
The Fall
David Bowie
Joy Division
Kylie Minogue
Cat Power

Take out Julie London cos I don't know who she is; add Orbital cos they're great.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 19 September 2003 09:16 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a hard choice but I think the VU have to go - nobody else will bin them and I can't bear listening to them in bustling London, let along on a desert island. I'd replace them with Lata Mangeshkar, who beats most-comers in prolificity (?) so you'd have plenty of variety, and because not much gets me up in the morning better than Bollywood music.

Orbital
Lata Mangeshkar
Françoise Hardy
Scott Walker
The Fall
David Bowie
Joy Division
Kylie Minogue
Cat Power

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 19 September 2003 09:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Marvin Gaye somehow got accidently removed, so I'm putting him back in to make up ten... oh and I've never heard of Lata Mangeshkar, who he?

Orbital
Lata Mangeshkar
Françoise Hardy
Marvin Gaye
Scott Walker
The Fall
David Bowie
Joy Division
Kylie Minogue
Cat Power

― Susan (Susan), Friday, 19 September 2003 09:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Lata Mangeshkar = Asha Bhosle's sister, super-prolific Indian film industry recording artist. She'll be on pretty much any Bollywood compilation you care to mention and Nascente do a nice one-disc best-of too.

NB Nick Southall you should pick up a cheapo Julie London comp, she's fab!

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 19 September 2003 09:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Francoise Hardy, pretty tender in a blissed-out urban context, would be too sirupy on a desert island, so I'd replace her with Joni Mitchell for some jazzy introspective nights on the beach:

Orbital
Lata Mangeshkar
Joni Mitchell
Marvin Gaye
Scott Walker
The Fall
David Bowie
Joy Division
Kylie Minogue
Cat Power

― Fabrice (Fabfunk), Friday, 19 September 2003 09:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, I used to listen to Joy Division when I was 17 too, and I love them dearly, but come on, would you really want to listen to Atrocity Exhibition on a desert island?

Orbital
Lata Mangeshkar
Françoise Hardy
Marvin Gaye
Scott Walker
The Fall
David Bowie
New Order
Kylie Minogue
Cat Power

― P.J. Harvey-Nicks, Friday, 19 September 2003 09:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Whoops, that should be:

Orbital
Lata Mangeshkar
Joni Mitchell
Marvin Gaye
Scott Walker
The Fall
David Bowie
New Order
Kylie Minogue
Cat Power

― P.J. Harvey-Nicks, Friday, 19 September 2003 09:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I vote to remove Lata cos I (still) don't know enough about her. I'm voting for Steve Albini to replace her cos he is with me in everything I do (this is a slight exaggeration).

I originally interpreted this as having the actual people on the island, not just their records. Which I think would be a better game. Or is that what you meant?

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Friday, 19 September 2003 09:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Hmmm, no I was more thinking of trying to hone down a group of 10 artists (musically) that we can sort of all agree on... or what the fuck it's only a stupid thread! My bosses really need to give me some work to do one of these days...

It now stands:

Orbital
Steve Albini
Joni Mitchell
Marvin Gaye
Scott Walker
The Fall
David Bowie
New Order
Kylie Minogue
Cat Power

― Susan (Susan), Friday, 19 September 2003 09:50 (twenty-two years ago)

"a group of 10 artists (musically) that we can sort of all agree on"

I personally feel confident that we shall quickly reach a unarguable conclusion here.

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Friday, 19 September 2003 09:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Remove The Fall because they make rock music, and rock music sucks. Replace them with Duke Ellington, because I've never heard anyone say a bad word about the Duke.

So the list is now like this:

Orbital
Steve Albini
Joni Mitchell
Marvin Gaye
Scott Walker
Duke Ellington
David Bowie
New Order
Kylie Minogue
Cat Power

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 19 September 2003 09:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Orbital are a bit boring, aren't they?

Captain Beefheart
Steve Albini
Joni Mitchell
Marvin Gaye
Scott Walker
Duke Ellington
David Bowie
New Order
Kylie Minogue
Cat Power

― Lady Grinning Soul, Friday, 19 September 2003 09:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Remove Steve Albini because he fucked up PJ Harvey's Rid Of Me. Replace him with PJ Harvey. (sorry Mencap!)

Captain Beefheart
PJ Harvey
Joni Mitchell
Marvin Gaye
Scott Walker
Duke Ellington
David Bowie
New Order
Kylie Minogue
Cat Power

― The Lex (The Lex), Friday, 19 September 2003 09:59 (twenty-two years ago)

(Susan I think this is a great thread! I wish I'd thought of it! The desert island music regimen is getting stricter and stricter though!)

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 19 September 2003 10:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd remove Bowie for the purely subjective reason that I despise the sound of his voice. Although I'd be tempted to replace him with Orbital again, but I think that's cheating, so I'd replace him with Jean Sibelius... need something really *expansive* for those desert island sunsets (also I'm wondering how long a classical composer would last in this game).

Captain Beefheart
PJ Harvey
Joni Mitchell
Marvin Gaye
Scott Walker
Duke Ellington
Jean Sibelius
New Order
Kylie Minogue
Cat Power

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 19 September 2003 10:08 (twenty-two years ago)

You know, this list actually is beginning to look like what I might want to laze the days away with on a desert island. I think I'll dump New Order though and add Krafwerk. Same thing only better.

Captain Beefheart
PJ Harvey
Joni Mitchell
Marvin Gaye
Scott Walker
Duke Ellington
Jean Sibelius
Kraftwerk
Kylie Minogue
Cat Power

― Jonathan Z., Friday, 19 September 2003 10:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Take out Scott Walker, if I am on a tropical island, I wouldn't want to hear songs about Stalin.

Add Professor Longhair, because if I am on a tropical island, I want it to be a party.

Captain Beefheart
PJ Harvey
Joni Mitchell
Marvin Gaye
Professor Longhair
Duke Ellington
Jean Sibelius
Kraftwerk
Kylie Minogue
Cat Power

― earlnash, Friday, 19 September 2003 10:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Get rid of Kylie for her late-90s career moves (appearing in the Vicar of Dibley? Hosting Top of the Pops?). Replace her with Sammy Davis Jnr, if only because someone reminded me of the "You may be wondering why I asked you here" joke the other day.

Captain Beefheart
PJ Harvey
Joni Mitchell
Marvin Gaye
Professor Longhair
Duke Ellington
Jean Sibelius

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 19 September 2003 10:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm amazed that Cat Power has lasted so long. I mean she's great, but something of the plucky underdog in this company. However she's better than Joni Mitchell, so she can get gone instead. I'm going to throw Lemmy in, just to be a boorish cunt. So:

Miles Davis
PJ Harvey
Lemmy
Marvin Gaye
Professor Longhair
Duke Ellington
Jean Sibelius
Kraftwerk
Kylie Minogue
Cat Power

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Friday, 19 September 2003 10:20 (twenty-two years ago)

You need some pop on a desert island - and who better to provide the pop than ABBA? Rather meanly I'm going to ditch Cat Power without even knowing her stuff that well, but the only other one I don't know is Professor Longhair and he has a great name.

Miles Davis
PJ Harvey
Lemmy
Marvin Gaye
Professor Longhair
Duke Ellington
Jean Sibelius
Kraftwerk
Sammy Davis Jr
ABBA

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 19 September 2003 10:22 (twenty-two years ago)

No I've never heard of old Longhair either and I'm pissed off Scott's gone - what to do but go for Jacques Brel...

Miles Davis
PJ Harvey
Lemmy
Marvin Gaye
Jacques Brel
Duke Ellington
Jean Sibelius
Kraftwerk
Sammy Davis Jr
ABBA

― Susan (Susan), Friday, 19 September 2003 10:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm chucking Lemmy out, who needs stuff like that on a desert island? In his place goes Brian Eno, obviously.

Miles Davis
PJ Harvey
Brian Eno
Marvin Gaye
Professor Longhair
Duke Ellington
Jean Sibelius
Kraftwerk
Kylie Minogue
Cat Power

(Professor Longhair: 60s New Orleans piano funk god)

If we keep ABBA on the island, people may feel tempted to start throwing ABBA parties. That I cannot condone. What I can condone, though, is ODB.

If I couldn't get Kate Bush in last time I damn well will this time. But I'll spare a flamewar with The Lex and kick out Jacques (again) not Tori.

No one needs Kate Bush AND Tori Amos on a desert island. Tori is axed, replaced by Thomas Bangalter. I want to watch the sunrise listening to French filterdisco.

OK, we officially seem to be out of the glory period where there was a vague semblance of a male/female 50/50 ratio. Men are BORING, especially if they are schmindie men who are fixated with the 60s California feel like the Super Furries. SFA out, Black Box Recorder in.

Check out their MP3's and try to catch one of their UK gigs.' which is fucking funny.

This game used to take place on the Film4 forum (1st films then directors then actors and actresses). It never ended. Ever. It slowed down to a trickle at times but would always rise back. Same thing happened there as is happening here: the 'big names' would get shot down sharpish and the list would mutate into a parade of the ever more obscure and unlikely. It only ended when the forum itself was stopped (to be re-sterted again but crap) Wow).

I really have to listen to more improv. In the meantime, I'll remove Shostakovich because I find the work I've heard pretty characterless and I suspect he gets a free ride from certain quarters because of the opression angle. Instead, let's get real NOW for change:

oops, I think that's kind of a voluntary thing. Since the thread didn't start with that rule (about not eliminating on the basis of not knowing the artist is), I don't think we can really enforce it; we can only encourage others to voluntarily follow it. I do think it makes things more intereting to eliminate that reason though. (Also, Dan hasn't posted much to this thread, that I've noticed, and maybe everyone should get a chance to use that excuse at least once.)

(Dan do you dislike Prine? I know plenty of non-MN folks who like him the answer, btw, is that his songs are aural Coen Bros. films.)
