Next I would have to choose the band Tool and I would have to burn my favorite Tool Songs onto a blank CD.
I would also have to have to take a compilation of Coheed and Cambria songs with me as well.
I'd have to take the Rolling Stones album Hot Rocks 1964-71
And finally I would take On Letting Go by Circa Survive.
This was probably the hardest thing I've ever done. I probably changed my mind about 15 times in the course of creating this list. I don't have a pocket five artists that I swear by, because I love so many different bands for different reasons. Some bands that I really love I still couldn't listen to everyday because their songs either make me feel melancholy or I would just get tired of listening to them. So what I decided on was to go with a variety of stuff.
I had to pick Mozart because his music is timeless to me, what I've heard anyway which is why I picked the album that I did. It has many songs that I don't think I've ever heard. At least then I would be able to listen to new material.
Then I went with a band that would help me maintain my mental sanity through symbolism and metaphor, I don't think any other band does that better than Tool, they used to be my favorite band until my musical great awakening.
Next I picked a band who's songs would make me happy and that's Coheed and Cambria to me. Their songs shred real hard, great vocals, funky bass, and good poetry. I've been listening to them for years and haven't gotten tired of them yet.
Stones... One of the greatest blues bands ever. The best part of it all is that most of their songs aren't sad but about hope, I'd need that on an Island.
Finally I picked Circa Survive, this was a hard choice to make because I was introduced to them just recently and I'm listening the hell out of them right now. Their music is very passionate, but also mathematical at the same time which is why I feel as though they would be a perfect closing point to my Desert Island top five.
