If you were stranded on an island and could only take 10 CDs...
So what are your top 10 CDs ever that you think everyone should own?

Two different questions, with vastly different answers. Just because I think someone should own a disc, doesn't necessarily mean I want to be stranded on an island with them.

I'd bring CD's that can generate the shiniest reflection to signal planes flying over since I wouldn't be able to play them on anything with no power on an island.

If multi-disk CD set is considered one CD, then I'd take
Five different Books on CDs, very long books
Four collections of classical music / opera (like The Ring which is something like 20 disks long)
The Beach Boys greatest hits (something upbeat and summery)
That would be 120 to 150 worth of CDs to listen to.
