If I had to pack my bags to go to a deserted island, the following albums would be essential cargo. These influential albums shaped who I am and can serve as a basis of what my musical background and preferences are.

There is very little musical style I shy away from and when I filter this list the results reflect that.

This list changes and grows from time to time but it’s these gems that I would want to spend the rest of my days with.

Most are obvious, but there may be a few surprises that are worth checking out for the 1st time or revisiting again.<\/span>"},"content":{"rendered":"
