Hunky Dory - David Bowie

I'll go with something current. 'The Loveliest Time' by Carly Rae Jepsen. People around me seem to like this album a lot...

For the rest, I'll just bang some coconuts against each other to create sound. This way I'll become the best tribute band for various classic works on the island. Everyone's welcome!

Incubus - Morning View

I'd have to go with the album that's verbal instructions for how to build a two way radio out of a coconut and seaweed.

Distinguishing Marks by Fingerprintz. I've been listening to that album since 1985 and it never got old.

...even though apparently I did

The one that immediately comes to mind is Wolfgang Amadeus, by Phoenix.

The Duran Duran Tribute album (1997)

I can't figure out if I'd want something with vocals to give me a sense of companionship, or something without vocals so it doesn't drive me insane.

With vocals: Grateful Dead - Cornell 5/8/77

Without vocals: John Coltrane - Live at Village Vanguard
