I think Neil and I could exist quite comfortably on that hypothetical desert island - we've got a lot of similar choices! Hard to narrow it down to just six, but mine would be (at least at the moment):

Frampton Comes Alive - PETER FRAMPTON
VH I - VAN HALEN
Led Zeppelin IV - LED ZEPPELIN
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - ELTON JOHN
The B-52's - THE B-52's
Brand New Man - BROOKS & DUNN

They're not all the "most influential" - but all of them are great listening (for me), and as justinthyme said, they all take me back to some happy time/place.


A few that I'd have to try to sneak into my luggage because they'd be hard to leave out:

Tres Hombres - ZZ Top
Boston - BOSTON
The Cars - THE CARS
Spring Session M - MISSING PERSONS
Heart Shaped World - CHRIS ISAAK
Cracked Rear View - HOOTIE AND THE BLOWFISH
News of the World - QUEEN
Aja - STEELY DAN
5th Gear - BRAD PAISLEY
90125 - YES
Powder Keg - GUANABATZ
Unleashed in the East - JUDAS PRIEST
Friends - LARRY CARLTON
Moving Pictures - RUSH
