I got a list of things to listen to from Susan. Thought I would pass on her suggestions, and maybe she will send me a list of her Desert Island Records. When she does, I’ll post those, too.

Thanks, Susan. I’ve got a lot of these on my iTunes already. The ones I don’t, I’ll give a listen.

Bob Schneider:
I’m Good Now; Let the Light In; Lovely Creatures

The Black Keys:
I’m a Lonely Boy

BoDeans:
Still the Night; Go Slow Down

Big Head Todd & The Monsters

Alison Krauss

Carey Ott:
I Wouldn’t Do That To You

Chris Isaak:
Let Me Down Easy; Can’t Do a Thing

Del Amitri:
Kiss This Thing Goodbye; Always the Last to Know

When you’re marooned on a desert island, you can’t be too picky about what washes up on shore. So, instead of a list of specific records, here are ten bands – any albums from any of them will do nicely while I’m stranded. Funny thing is, my final list doesn’t have any new bands. I just couldn’t replace any of these with bands I’ve been introduced to over the past decade or so. Seems the more lists I make the more evident it becomes how stuck in the past I really am.

The Beatles
Bob Dylan
Fleetwood Mac
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Pink Floyd
R.E.M.
Led Zeppelin
U2
Dire Straits
David Bowie
