Not on Friday night. Mr R is working from home and needs the phone to be available for that from about 4PM to 3AM. And I've heard nothing good about Zoom calls.

Zoom calls are awesome IMO. We do a Friday tappy hour one with couple friends and I do a Saturday night trivia one with guys. Both are hours of fun entertainment and great contact with really good friends who we would normally see on a Friday or Saturday night pre-covid.

2.20 Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin is the sound of my youth. Wore the crap out of the cassettes in my '77 Chevy Impala (in the late 80's/early 90's). A very nostalgic sound for me.
I can't thank @Binky The Doormat enough for leaving me this masterpiece. Almost impossible to pick two songs. Have to go with Your Time Is Gonna Come as one of them. It lacks a lot of the raw power of many of their other songs, but that transition from the keys where the drums come in at about the 1:00 mark may be the best 5 seconds of music ever. You can't listen to that in a car and not roll the windows down and punch the gas to the floor. @KarmaPolice playlist songs bolded.

We will likely be trying out these headphones when they come out. I have no idea how the virus situation affects this.

In the right context, they are great. Did a couple with family around Easter, was great to see people from WI to FL to Kuwait. Been doing them with my dad about something we are working on together, great for showing computer screens while talking. But on the other hand a neighbor’s daughter said someone broke into a college class zoom and showed porn.

I'm the guy-who-hasn't-listened-to-zep in y'alls eyes now, but "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" might be my favorite of theirs. Monster of a song.

2.21 The Cure - Disintegration
Fascination Street
The Same Deep Water As You
All 3 of my other choices I was considering at 1.16 remain available to me here. Tough call. Pretty sure this is the album that I've listened to the most times.
I bought the cassette in May of '89--I'd just graduated from college waiting to start med school. I played it repeatedly that summer as I painted my grandparents' house in Seattle (they weren't big fans) and worked a job in a blueberry processing plant in a rural WA town (no internships for regular college students in those days). This was a great soundtrack for that job
.
It's one of those albums that as soon as the song is ending I already hear the beginning of the next. I can play this one when it's raining, I'm sad, or on a bright sunny day. I could randomly pick any two songs for the play list and be very happy.
Can't not have this one on my island.

Unplugged or Live or Acoustic is not my gimmick. I just need this to accompany my first pick. Back to back they are great great listen (and watch if allowed). An addiction when the mood strikes.
2.22 Pearl Jam - MTV Unplugged
Jeremy's Broken
Porch
I can pinpoint a couple of events 20 years ago that caused me to eschew most classic rock, blazing squealing guitars, etc. Simply, it just felt played, much of it even annoying. I had listened to little else. Acoustic sessions like Nirvanna's and PJ's though really thrilled. Eddie is the show here and gives a truly amazing performance. The musicianship was surprising to me at the time, and pretty amazing to me to this day.

2.23: Steely Dan - Aja
Even though it's short on quantity, it's long on quality. This album was ultimately my gateway into this band. It's tough to pick just 2 songs, but I have to go with Deacon Blues and Josie. Can't get enough of the line 'she prays like a Roman with her eyes on fire.'
Hey, @Long Ball Larry, you're up, son.

We're not going to get 36 people on Zoom to actually but we could move what would usually be the Friday drunken italics lyrics to Zoom on Friday night (probably later in the night, like 10 Eastern) and maybe some picks come up, if there's people interestedMister CIA said:

That's a little creepy. When I said I was torn between two, this was the other. Larry Carlton's guitar will never annoy me. Maybe my favorite all-time band, but I like jazzy.

13 picks away, and I have a list of 6 clear favorites. I have 0 hope for one, little for another, but I THINK a couple will be there at the turn for me.

I'd do it.

2.24 - Chris Cornell - Songbook
This is probably over drafting but #### it I don’t care, I have to have it. I love just about every song in here
i liked soundgarden ok and I was an audio slave fan, but it wasn’t until I heard him solo and acoustic that I really understood the depth and complexity and passion and raw emotion that Chris Cornell could convey. I totally identify with the many contradictions that he sings of in his songs: the hope with an ever present sense of doom; the sadness with a glint of amusement.
i hated that he died but even in that, it all made sense, all the pieces for with who he is, who he was, who he will be.
I never pay much attention to when anything happens. It’s just, it’s happening. Who cares when. As long as it happens.
I'm never more than two drinks away from crying.
Wait, just, one minute here
I can see that she's trying to read me
Suddenly I know
She's going to change the world
But she can't change me,
No, she can't change me
Fell on black days
Imagine

2.25 Sigur Rós, Ágætis byrjun (1999)
In the first year following its release, their debut album sold only 313 copies in Iceland.
Starálfur
Viðrar vel til loftárása (Wiki: "The band named the song after a quote sarcastically spoken by an Icelandic weatherman during the war in Kosovo: 'í dag viðrar vel til loftárása' (meaning "today is good weather for an airstrike").")
After much hemming and hawing, I'm back on my BS. We speaking Hopelandic on my island.
No clue if anyone was eyeing this for the near future, but despite the risk that someone in particular might take what I was previously considering here, I can't miss out on this one. Magical soundscapes, and it definitely merits a killer sound system/headphones and being played loud. I could easily just go by the "which CDs have I worn out the most from repeat play" criterion, 'cause this is up there with Ziggy. Not sure what else I can say, but it's such an amazing album to listen to in the middle of the night or early morning.
Really wish I could catch them live sometime, but my best shot was when I was too much of a broke college boi in Savannah and they played Atlanta. (So much of the albums that stuck with me come from that time, really, listening to music on my Discman on the way to class and back.)
Also, y'all missing out on drafting an island for yourselves, but I got mine.
Island Pick
Tristão da Cunha
Part of an archipelago, and the other islands sound equally interesting - if you'll pardon the spotlighting, there's ####### INACCESSIBLE ISLAND, the Nightingale Islands and Gough Island - but I interpreted a literary event recently celebrating the 300th anniversary of Robinson Crusoe and one of the guests was discussing the uncanny link between Tristão and the island in Johann Schnabel's 18th century Robinsonade "Insel Felsenburg" (which was apparently inescapable in German homes at the time) both in terms of geography and their histories, and that stuck with me. Plus, I dig the location, almost equidistant from southern Africa and South America.

With the unpredictability here, I think you just have to take what you love the most. I only have one more record that I must have, but I'll be crushed if it is taken before I get to it, so I'll overdraft it in the next round.
Chris Cornell is another person I haven't spent any time on (other than knowing some Soundgarden), and I should.

I am a big Soundgarden fan, and I haven't heard of this, let alone heard any songs. Will change that tomorrow
