You only get 3 albums for the rest of your life

[Yama]

What are your 3?

1. A Fever You Can't Sweat Out by Panic! at the Disco
2. Dive by Tycho
3. JPN by Perfume

What about double albums? Do they count as one album or two? Do box sets count as 1 album? What if I have a shitload of albums burned to a DVD or BluRay disc; does the disc count as one album then?

Talk about a small desert island list. Usually I see people doing lists for 5 or 10 albums. You're not making this easy

Follow the rules!!!! #SJ

Okay here: If it was one 'release' then it counts as an album. Even if it has like 5 or 10 discs. Best albums count as 1 album. Burned CDs do not count. 3 only!

I could cheat and say something like the Bowie Who can I Be Now? Box set which is technically one release but contains like 6 or 7 albums within it. Shit, if I include the Five Years box set too, that's like over half of his 70's discography (live albums, studio albums, rarities) and with the loophole I've exploited in your SJ rules , it all would only count as two albums

But I'll be fair and think of actual albums, so this will take some thought. I found one of my desert island lists from a few years ago and immediately hated most of it. I would worry that the 3 albums I chose would not sustain me for the rest of my life

I detected a good musical taste here. hmm.

I'd have a hard time picking one Floyd album to take. Sometimes I'm in an Animals mood, other days I want Saucerful or WYWH. I'd probably take WYWH as I think it's the most balanced of their albums and assuming I'd be on some desert isle, I think it would be a little less of a downer than Animals and Saucerful.

Gravel & Wine - Gin Wigmore
T.N.T. - AC/DC (yeah yeah, cliché)
Moonshine in the Trunk - Brad Paisley
