Queen II
Desert Island album 1: If you're reading this, you're a fan, so what else can I say about this magnificent piece of art? When's the DVD-A coming?
Mike Oldfield

Tubular Bells
D.I. album 2: This album not only redefines classic rock, but directly inspired heavy metal, new age, industrial, progressive, and anything Bjork and Radiohead ever put to tape. Fantasical on the first listen and even better on repeat listenings.
The Beach Boys

Pet Sounds
D.I. album 3 : "No one is educated musically until they's heard 'Pet Sounds'...It is a total classic record that is unbeatable in many ways." -Sir Paul McCartney
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds

Murder Ballads
D.I. album 4: A dark, terrifying campfire ghost story of an album. If Edgar Allen Poe or Stephen King could compose with the skill of Bach and sing with the soul of Elvis, you come close to this album. Not for the faint of heart.
Holst

The Planets
D.I. album 5: Mars, The Bringer of War; Venus, the Bringer of Peace; Mercury, the Winged Messenger; Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity, Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age; Uranus, the Magician; Neptune, the Mystic...What else can I say? Well, don't go anywhere near a recording of Pluto! It ain't Holst, it's crap. Stick with the original seven suites, you won't regret it.
