I've tried to only select albums that I've been able to come back to, years after having first listened to them, and liked more than on my first listen ie albums/artists that weren't just a 'phase'. If I knew more classical music and/or jazz I would probably put those records on my list before "rock" (broadly defined as anything that isn't jazz, classical, of folk music).

Laurel Halo - Quarantine

Bitches Brew - I own this on CD but have barely listened to it next to Kind of Blue, which I’ve listened to a hundred times. I like the length (94 minutes) and complexity for the island scenario though.
Rain Dogs by Tom Waits is one of my favorite albums but I can’t see it being good for a desert island.

I feel like I covered all my moods.
Hey, nice stuff.
I checked out the band, Kill Hannah, on your list. Nice. I really like a couple of their songs: "Bedroom Demo" and "From Now On" (off the Never + Ever album version).
They remind me of a band i stumbled across, have you heard of this band called "The Music"?
Assume a CD or Record Player and electricity ?
Agree with other poster, lots of these selections are going to get stale fast. I rather be stranded with some instruments and create my own music. Just think, if one was stranded for eternity, they would eventually recreate the whole Global Canon of Music !
Here's my frivolous 10 :
Help - The Beatles
Animal Tracks - ( We Gotta Get Out of this Place ) - The Animals
Electric Ladyland - ( "1983...( A Merman I Should Turn to Be )") - The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Islands - King Crimson
La Mer - Claude Debussy
The Best of the Castaways - The Castaways
The Pious Bird of Good Omen - ( Albatross ) - Fleetwood Mac
Closer - Joy Division
A Salty Dog - Procol Harum

Ok. Music is subjective. I will find a way to replace the Pet Sounds album I destroyed.
