Yep, Decade is a 2 disc set, but hey, this is *my* fantasy. ;-)

This was *extremely* hard.  I can't even limit myself to 60 CDs when
we go out of town for just a weekend.

	Gene Eugene
	Michael Knott
	Sam Phillips
	Ramald Damkus
	Terry Taylor
	Michael Been
	Derri Daughtery
	Ashley Cleveland
	Chagall Guevara
	Galactic Cowboys

Boy, you've never been on a desert island for very long:  you don't
get to choose these kinds of things.  They are chosen for you by TV
producers.  Here's what I would probably get, much to my despair:

	Keith Green:	So You Wanna Go Back To The Womb:
			30 year retrospective by people not even alive
			when Keith died.

	Sandi Patti:	Sings duets with tapes of Mother Teresa.

	Amy Grant:	Spleen In Stasis, featuring the hit single
			'Doggie, Doggie, Doggie'.

	Steven Curtis Chapman:	Songs about my grandkids
			(40 minutes of classical music by some no-name
			philharmonic but he gets 3 dove awards for his
			musical performance, and he still looks too young)

Same here, the TV producers thought it would be much more fun to see
if my heart could stand the stress after all of these years with only
coconuts to eat:

	some teen-drivel-band who spent more time picking out their
	wardrobe and hair than their lyrics.

	Armand Morales and 3 no-names who call themselves the Imperials.

Thanks for the quiz, I enjoyed it.  No really. ;-)
