Music Poll! <3

[batskeets]

After sitting at my desk all of yesterday, in a great big cube farm of which I was the lone occupant, the complete and utter lack of background noise started to drive me a little nuts. But, now that I've fixed the sound drivers on my work computer, I want to get a fledgling music collection going for at-my-desk listening, in the hopes that such madness NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN.

So, I pose this question to you:
If you were stuck on a desert island, and had only ten songs to listen to for some indeterminate length of time, what would they be?

Or, alternately:
If I was going into space for many months, and you were given the task of putting ten songs that *I* would love and enjoy onto my tiny, space person's data unit, what songs would you choose for me?

Whee! I look forward to your thoughts! (note: if 10 is either too many or too few for you, feel free to suggest whatever random number you choose)

EDIT: Sort of in the music vein: I forgot to mention that my burst of consumerism on Friday resulted in my getting a copy of KARAOKE REVOLUTION 3! :O I still need to get KR2, but I have an itch to give the duets mode on KR3 a go...

i would feel too evil to do the alternate one, but if it was me on a desert island...i find myself playing the same songs over and over anyway..left off stuff like Luna Sea and the like that I know you already have...OH! BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE FANTASTIPO DAMMIT :)

20th Century - "Dahlia" and "Hikari Sasu Basho he"
Laputa - "Beauty x Butterfly"
TOKIO - "Feel It" and "Heart" ..this list was gonna get a lot longer there, I'm on a big kick right now x_X
Ketsumeishi - "Yoru*kaze"
Kinki Kids - "Ai no Katamari"
Ota Crew - "Ota-ku ii toko..." the name is really long but it's awesome and I don't think they have any other songs anyway. XD
Orange Range - "Asterisk"
Checkers - Giza Giza Heart no Komori uta
Yaen - "Chicken Guys" or "Fish Fight" (you will shit yourself laughing but YOU CAN SHAKE YOUR ASS TO IT!)
Pornograffitti - "Wakusei Kimi," "LACK"
Regurgitator - "I sucked a lot of cock to get where I am" ...just cause =P

[the-lizzel.livejournal.com]

yeah, regurgitator is always good. i considered putting "i like your old stuff better than your new stuff", but i wasn't sure how well liked they were.

hey, so you're in ichinomiya? i'm in the tajima area doing JET too. i'm in the middle of goddamn nowhere with a town of 6,000 peeps. other than snack places, there isn't much else going on.

[pyrobaby.livejournal.com]

6000? dude, that's huge compared to my town. 6 times huger to be exact. no wonder i blow all my money on trips to osaka...
