so we all know how DIDs works, but here we're asking for your choices - but with a twist.
10 Recordings - these can be singles, EPs, LPs or CDs - in their original release form and no Greatest Hits or live compilations - and NO ARTIST can appear more than TWICE. Complete Written Works - - no longer required to take Shakespeare. this can be the complete works of any author or playwright 2 Luxury Items - these can be anything and will have all necessary means available in order to fully utilize them (permanently) - as long as they are not a means to assist escape from the island
here's mine: (my individual highlights in brackets)
10 Recordings: Beatles - Abbey Road...............................(final medley: GS/CTW/TE) The Cars - The Cars.................................(Good Times Roll) Guess Who - American Woman..................(No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature) Killers - Battle Born..................................(Runaways) Queen - A Day At The Races......................(Somebody To Love) Beatles - Rubber Soul...............................(In My Life) Marvin Gaye - What's Going On.................(Mercy Mercy Me) Electric Light Orchestra - Out of the Blue....(Sweet Talkin' Woman) Eagles - Hotel California...........................(The Last Resort) Crosby, Stills & Nash - CSN [1977]............(Cathedral)

I bet if you allowed each contributor 100 recordings they would still have to leave out some absolute gems from their collections. (I know I did!) Anyway, here are my choices:
10 Recordings: Big Country - The Buffalo Skinners David Gilmour - David Gilmour Diamond Head - Lightning To The Nations Extreme - Extreme II: Pornograffitti Jackson Browne - Late For The Sky Judas Priest - Sad Wings Of Destiny Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard Of Ozz Pink Floyd - The Wall Rush - 2112 Supertramp - Crime Of The Century

I can't do ten albums, but my author would be Isaac asimov and the luxuries would be an inflatable doll and a puncture repair kit!
On a related subject...the fabulous island of Antigua has recently instituted a Digital Nomad visa for those who can work remotely and would like to do so from paradise...

Since I don't read as much, I'll probably just have to pick the only book series I've read.
10 records: (I'll add my highlights as well) ((yes I got a bit carried away))
Queen - News of the World (if allowed CMI's expanded collection) (It's Late, My Melancholy Blues)
Queen - A Day at the Races (if allowed again the expanded collection) (The Millionaire Waltz, Teo Torriate)
My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade (japanese version for the B-sides) (The End./Dead!, I Don't Love You, House Of Wolves, Cancer, Kill All Your Friends) Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon (Time, The Great Gig In The Sky, Us And Them)
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (Shine On You Crazy Diamond (parts I-V), Wish You Were Here) Freddie Mercury - Mr. Bad Guy (if allowed CMI's hopefully upcoming expanded collection, otherwise the special edition) (Made In Heaven, I Was Born To Love You, Your Kind Of Lover, Mr. Bad Guy, Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow)
Freddie Mercury - Barcelona (if allowed again the hopefully upcoming expanded collection, otherwise the orchestrated version) (Barcelona, The Fallen Priest, The Golden Boy, Guide Me Home/How Can I Go On)
Eagles - Long Road Out of Eden (no specific songs, the whole album serves as great background ish music, but not in a bad sense)
C418 - Minecraft - Volume Alpha (Cat)
ABBA - The Album (Take A Chance On Me, Thank You For The Music)
Complete Written Works: J.K. Rowling
2 luxury items: Phone (with a great camera system of course ) Telescope with phone attachment (might not get pictures as great as Brenski, but it's good enough, plus I can play random games on my phone)
