Imagine for a moment you're going to be stranded on an island with a magical jukebox, which you get to program before. What's the first song you'll put on there?

Right now, it would be “Sugar Tongue” from Poseidon and the Bitter Bug, the new Indigo Girls album that came out yesterday. It’s one of the most amazingly beautiful and meaningful songs I have ever heard.

“HELP!” by the Beatles.

These are Days by 10000 Maniacs: it’s uplifting and I’d always have something to dance to.

When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong by Emmure. yeahhh mannn.

Message in a Bottle is a clever answer, though. & awesome song.

What A Wonderful World – Louis Armstrong

Fix Me- Black Flag

Across the Universe by The Beatles. It reminds me of my dad and evokes magical feelings in me.

Desperado

Hotel California.

Jane Says- Jane’s Addiction

Momma’s boy- chromeo

“All Along The Watchtower” – “There must be some way out of here…”

(See also my desert island discs question for a similar discussion.)

@jonsblond The album version or the live version?

Help Me – Joni Mitchell

Coconut Woman – Harry Belafonte

Anything by CCR, and Blue Oyster Cult.

@aprilsimnel. Nice choice with classic Joni Mitchell.
@asmonet. Lurve for CCR.

Wish You Were Here – Pink Floyd.

@essieness Live for sure. I saw them at the first Lollapalooza back in 91. The best show I ever saw!

Specialist – Interpol

@hiphiphopflipflapflop You win for best avatar. I picture his skits every time I see it. :)

I think we’re alone now.

Actually, that was a joke. My first song would probably be a Bach composition.

look out for some of those airplanes
this song makes me feel life. Theres many more I’d put on the juke box though.

Quite a few songs by this group would make it on my jukebox. :)

Maybe Not by Cat Power:
“We won’t have a thing
So we’ve got nothing to lose
We can all be free
Maybe not with words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind”

Gotta Have You, by the Weepies
