I don't know if a topic of this type has ever been posted here, but I thought I would bring it up.
I host a radio show called "Traditions" on WFDU-FM. A listener asked me to give him my 5 "essential" folk recordings of all time - the recordings that I would want with me if I were stranded on a desert island somewhere.
Depending on the day of the week, I would have a different selections. It is a tough question, but I thought I would pose it to this illustrious group!
What albums/CD's would you choose? I'm not asking for the top 5 albums of all time, but rather for your personal choice for 5 albums/CD's that you would take with you. Since it's a personal question there can be no disagreements. I'm curious as to what everyone would choose.
