What would you pick?

[Elwood]

Guitar World Magazine used to have a column called "60 Minutes" in which a famous guitarist would pick 60 minutes worth of music they would put on a blank tape to take with them on a desert island. I was talking to some of my friends about this today and we're all going to compile our own list that we would put on a CD-R if it was going to be the only music we would have from now on (other than what we play ourselves on that island.) We decided to go with 18-20 songs, because that's about average for an 80 minute CD-R.

 

 

So, what 20 songs would you pick if it was the only music you would have from now on (or at least for a few years until you get rescued).
