Desert Island Picks by btener11

50 albums. One album per artist. Comps/live albums OK. No box sets. Taking into account the desert island scenario: many different moods and genres must be present to cover as much of the spectrum of human emotion as possible. Sometimes albums with more songs will be chosen over better/more cohesive ones if doing so serves the aforementioned criteria.
