Desert Island: You can only pick three musical artists

You can only pick three musical artists. Who do you pick?

by Anonymousreply 48July 20, 2025 3:36 PM

I would pick Johannes Brahms, Leontyne Price, and Don Williams

Bach

Joni Mitchell

Miles Davis

There’s no way I could pick 3.

I love music SOOO much. And all types of music, too.

I used to answer these questions easily, but the older I get, the more I realize that I just don’t ever want to be stuck on a deserted island, without myriad choices.

Deseret Island: Marie Osmond, Donny Osmond, Jimmy Osmond

Am I just picking whose CDs I would bring along, or are the musicians actually going to be stranded with me on the island?

Actually, I might switch out Ministry for Alice in Chains.

I'd take a lyricist, composer and a singer (hot male like Sam Smith) to write songs I ask them to.

R37 - I can't believe I forgot Depeche Mode.

Maybe I'll remove The Beatles from my R35 list and replace them with DM - but only because I'm so familiar with their music, they'll always be in my subconscious.
