THE POLL QUESTION:
Pick the types of music you will bring with you on a desert isle. Vote for up to eight selections.
Reading the scenario below is only neccessary if the logic-dominant left side of your brain protests with "Hold on a minute. Why in the world would I have to choose up to 8 genres of music to listen to if I was a desert isle?"
You imagination driven rightsiders, on the other hand, can go and vote right away. Be rest assured Yes music will be available on this desert isle, although no other rock or popular music will be allowed. (There I did it! I confused you right siders too. Fine! Read the damn scenario. Then cast your votes...Sheesh! Ask people to answer a simple question and...Aaagh! Fuhgettabout it!)
THE SCENARIO:
You are on a small ocean freighter en route from the mainland US to Hawaii. Half way there the ship's bottom is pierced by a hereto uncharted section of shallow rocky ocean floor. Another passing freighter rescues the ship's crew --that is everybody except you! You are in your bunk, with your headphones on, both halves of your brain enraptured as you listen to Close the Edge. Oblivious to all the confusion transpiring above, you finally notice something is very wrong after the final sounds of CTTE fade into silence.
Instinctively you leap to your feet, knowing the moaning ship has only minutes until it submerges completely into the sea. You grab your boots and your solar powered portable CD player, Yes CD's tucked neatly in its little storage compartment, then run to the ship deck where you realize there is nobody left on the ship. With no time to dally, you put the one ship's lifeboat in the water and start to load supplies.
After you load all the essentials and nonperishable food you could get your hands on, you have very little space left on the lifeboat for anything but yourself. With only a couple minutes to spare before pending catastophe, you run to the main freight area of the ship. In the corner is a stack of cartons intended for a small record store in Honolulu.
Each of these boxes is labeled with the name of a genre of music and apparently contains inside a broad mix of music from an individual genre. You have room on the lifeboat up to 8 cartons of these CDs, but no time to cherry pick through the boxes. There are no cartons of Rock or Popular music (thankfully you do have those Yes CD's in the CD player--this is not a horror story, afterall!)
Now you must quickly decide what boxes of CDs to take with you on this lifeboat that will take you to your desert isle. Pick up to 8 from this list.
(And, for crying out loud, please just play along next time somebody asks you a "desert isle" question!)
