Debussy, La Mer (I know, it doesn't fill a whole album)

Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon

and I'll agree with the Joshua Tree...

Dropping "Dark Side of the Moon" from my list was a TOUGH call. Maybe I should have said top 4 CDs...

Nine Inch Nails, Downward Spiral. Fuck, I named a song instead of the album before.
Suzanne Vega, 9 objects of desire
Metallica, Master of Puppets

Three is too few. I'm sure I'll remember other CDs that I would like, but here's my short list.

I just realized how dated this thread must sound.

Why take three CDs, when you can take one iPod...

"You win a competition that entitles you to a free luxury joyflight around the Pacific. Unfortunately, your plane catches on fire after being attacked by space aliens from Poland. You just uploaded three albums from your laptop onto your Ipod/Other Generic MP3 Player, and must now jump out of the plane onto the rather desolate looking island below you. You are unable to grab your laptop because you needed to hold onto the parachute strap thingy. What were those three albums?"

There we go.

Misfits - Collection II
The Clash - Sandinista! (don't ask)
Ludwig van Beethoven - Symphony No. 9

Not my definate list. Probably think of replacements later. But these seem to be the ones I am listen to most at the moment.

Many times :)

Glad to see that someone else values that LP as highly as I do, despite its myriad faults.
