Friday Funtime: Pop Argot's Deserted-Island Discs

So since I brought up the subject yesterday, here's the list, at least the way I feel these days, of the 10 CDs I'd want to have with me if I were to be stranded on a deserted island. (By the way, this is the correct nomenclature, not desert island. Why do people say it that way? The point is that you're removed from civilization, not that sand abounds; and what's a desert island anyway?)

Anyway, here's the list. (I thought it would be cheating to include greatest-hits comps.)

Jefferson Starship, Red Octopus
Dusty Springfield, Dusty in Memphis
Love, Forever Changes
The Beatles, Revolver
David Bowie, Station to Station
Terence Trent D’Arby, Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D’Arby
The Monkees, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd. (Ed. note: Sorry, I didn't find the clip where Micky says "Psychedelic!" at the end.)
Stevie Wonder, Innervisions
Bran Van 3000, Discosis
Elton John, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

And if I can have 10 more, if you please:

Jesus Christ Superstar OST
Marvin Gaye, What’s Going On
The Beatles, Magical Mystery Tour
Carole King, Really Rosie OST
Jellyfish, Bellybutton
Joni Mitchell, Court and Spark
Seal, Seal (II)
Matthew Sweet, In Reverse
Aimee Mann, The Forgotten Arm
Hair OST
