Of course, I'd have to start with a couple of Beatles albums. I'd probably go with Abbey Road and Revolver.
But then I thought that I may want the White Album, which led to wondering if that counted as one album or two because it's a double album. I'd want something tropical and sunny, because I'm on a tropical island, and so I'd take Jimmy Buffett's Greatest Hits and the Beach Boys Endless Summer (again, a double album, so does it count as one or two).
I'd also probably take Journey Escape, Eagles Hotel California and Bruce Springsteen's The River (a third double album). For harder rock, I'd take Van Halen Women and Children First, AC/DC Highway to Hell and Guns & Roses Appetite For Destruction.
Due to the double album question, I have no idea how many choices I have left, but I know I'd also want The Masterplan and Definitely Maybe by Oasis and Just Enough Education to Perform by Stereophonics.
I'm not sure if these last ones were even released on vinyl, so I then wondered if I would be allowed to have a CD player instead of a record player. This would solve my double album problem, because a double album takes up only one CD, allowing me to take most of my choices to a deserted island. And would it be possible for me to bring 20, or even 15? Because 10 just isn't enough.
Then I realized that regardless of which choice I made, I wouldn't have electricity on a deserted island. Plus, would I have the foresight to pack a record player or CD player, and 10 albums or CD's? Doubtful. So even if I had the music, I'd have no way to play it.
Unless I was stranded with the Professor...
