Actually, if I was going to be stranded on a desert island, I'd sell
my tapes and buy some food, or, if I had enough, a boat :)
But anyway...

       an album until I read your list.  But I heard them in 
       concert last spring, and they were awesome, so I assume their
       album is too, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere.)
