Mine is 'Crawdaddy' by the Darling Buds. Came out in 1990, and 16 years later it still sounds as fresh as ever. 10 catchy, hook-filled, memorable songs in 39 minutes, no b.s. rock and roll; every song shoulda been a hit (college radio played "It Makes No Difference", "Fall" and "Crystal Clear"). THIS is the album I would take on a desert island.

"Images and Words" by Dream Theater. I have probably heard this CD at least 1000 times since I first got it (on tape) back in 1993! It has some of the greatest guitar, drum and keyboard work I've ever heard and some of the greatest lyrics. The instrumental sections of the songs, along with the time changes throughout, are absolutely phenomenal!

One of my top faves of all time is is the incredibly obscure CD "Excello Vocal Groups" issued on Excello 3013 in 1995 and quickly cut out of print shortly thereafter. It's a collection of '50s doo wop songs from artists who were on the Excello label. With 31 songs it is loaded with a whole lot of unbelievable stuff. It literally blew me away!
Yes, I've got Crawdaddy -- very good CD! I'd also recommend Pop Said... and Erotica (which contains "If" which is my favorite Darling Buds song!)

For obscurity, a band called Disco Tex and the Sex-O-Lettes. The album I would want on a desert island I couldn't play. No electricity.

"Jackpot" by the Derailers. Great traditionalist country band out from Austin. In the '90's I got this CD and thought it was going to save country music. Of course, country radio didn't touch it. I think they got a minor hit off a later album, but nobody remembers them

The Dead Can Dance for obscurity. I lost my copy and I miss it terribly. This one would definitely make it to the desert island portfolio as would Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime I and anything ever released by Tool.

Jason Mraz's Live and Acoustic 2001. He is amazing live; he has a great voice and is amazing on the guitar. It far surpasses both his studio albums.
