This sort of thread drives me (more)crazy: how could I bear to whittle down my collection to 100 (I could never go to the mythical Desert Island with only 8 records!). Most of my 100 would be jazz or blues, only about half a dozen folk, but after a sleepless night deciding which of my babies to leave behind I've given up!
We were listening to Bill Broonzy's "Big Bill's Blues" last night- that would be in there for sure, certainly the Weavers, McColl & Seeger,Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, Kingston Trio, Ian Cambell Group with Swarbrick, but every disk, cassette or CD I look at calls to me ("pick me!"!
