Desert island

I'm taking Music 100 to satisfy a Fine Arts core requirement. I wasn't expecting much. On the first day of the class, the professor asked everyone to name one album they would take with them if they were trapped on a desert island, and the answers were, well, embarrassing. I wrote down the names of the bands that were mentioned.

  • Dave Matthews
  • Linkin Park
  • Rise Against
  • "Death metal
  • Pearl Jam
  • "Musical soundtracks
  • Maroon 5
  • "Guitar Hero III"
  • Lamb of God
  • Jack Johnson
  • The Eagles
  • "A mix CD" (that's cheating)
  • Prodigy
  • Jack Johnson (again)
  • Lil' Wayne
  • Jack Johnson (again again)
  • 'N Sync
  • Spamalot soundtrack
  • Across the Universe soundtrack
  • Dave Matthews (again)
  • Across the Universes soundtrack (again)

Seriously.

In the class's defense, there were a couple people who named Radiohead, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and a few other notables, including one kid who dropped Daft Punk's Alive 2007 and instantly became my new best friend. The professor chose The Beatles' "The White Album."

    God help you if you're trapped on an island with nothing but a Maroon 5 CD. Was this Dr. Ward's class?

    I was reading through this list again and realized that, hey, if you're on a desert island all alone you might just want to kill yourself and be done with it. Listening to Linkin Park over and over again might help me give up the will to live.
