Your shipwrecked on a desert isle for an entire year.
Thank goodness you had the foresite to know this might happen and took with you, along with food and water, a small collection of Carpenter items.
Unfortunately, you are only able to take at most one Carpenter's song, photo, CD, video and book. What are you going to take?
Although I love much of their work, I might just take the Horizon CD and specifically the 'I Can Dram Can't I' song. I've never seen a Carpenter's video and don't have any of the books so I may just see what everyone else takes to help me decide.
Disregarding the technical issues that surround listening to a CD on a desert isle, what would you take?

:)hello willbarns! what an interesting thing to think about and a hard decision...(I love that movie w/ T. Hanks..Castaway) so, I might also have to come up w/ an imaginary friend in such a situation..anyway, I guess I'd want the Reflections or Sweet Sweet Smile cd. As with most of their albums, their songs include both happy and sad. My imaginary friend might turn out to be that mysterious character Eve.
anyway, so it goes with me

Hopefully your imaginary friend thinks ahead and brings some Carpenter goodies as well.

DISC: Horizon - definitely. It's my favorite. Karen's voice is chilling. "solitaire" is one of The Carpenters best of all time. "Only Yesterday" is my favorite single and probably my favorite Carpenters song. "Please Mr. Postman" is my favorite of their upbeat songs (well okay favorite after "Sweet Sweet Smile"). "I Can Dream Can't I" is such a wonderful period piece and it would have been nice to hear an entire album of this type song. Every song on this album was strong. There was not one filler track here. It was solid all the way through. DVD: Maybe The A&E biography "Close To You: Remembering The Carpenters". But this is a tough decision. I also really like The Video Biography which I still have not purchased my own copy. But will soon. BOOK: Ray Coleman's book - "The Carpenters: The Untold Story". PICTURE:  |

If you respond 'Thank You' to this post then I can say congrats on your 200th post!
When I think of all the albums in the world with perhaps one hit and then filler material it is amazing at the almost (?) wall to wall quality of the Carpenters.
Opps, I see you've already made it to 200. No need to say 'Thank You.'

:)yes the Horizon album is terrific..and there seemed to never be any need or room for any filler material on any of their albums that I'm aware of ..and I never had really thought of that before. It's just a natural fact ..because of their great talents together.

You can't forget the M&M's, they melt in your mouth, not in your hands. |

If I was ship wrecked, I would take the import CD "22 greatest hits." This is my favorite collection of songs, although "Love Songs" is good, too. hmmmm...tough choice. While I am stuck there, I would also need my diet pepsi and snickers! The pepsi needs to be ice cold and the snickers warm and mushy! I would like my wife and son to stop by, too!  If I had a computer and the internet, who would care about getting rescued! ;D |

If we're on the same island, I'd like to borrow your Sound of Music video. In that case we might as well all get together on the island and watch the video together, such a great and wonderful movie. Julie Andrews is spectacular and she has an amazing voice herself. |
