Apologies again for taking so long.
Ok, so my own time to start the soundtrack game:
Dazed & Confused (1993) [Soundtrack]
One of the nifty things about this draft is the ability to break away from only getting 20 artists to listen to forever. This soundtrack was a potpourri of all kinds of fun classic 70s rock and better than just about any "Best of 70s" collection of which I am aware.
1. Rock & Roll, Hoochie Koo - Rick Derringer
2. Slow Ride - Foghat
3. School's Out - Alice Cooper
4. Jim Dandy - Black Oak Arkansas
5. Tush - ZZ Top
6. Love Hurts - Nazareth
7. Stranglehold - Ted Nugent
8. Cherry Bomb - The Runaways
9. Fox On The Run - Sweet
10. Low Rider - War
11. Tuesday's Gone - Lynyrd Skynyrd
12. Highway Star - Deep Purple
13. Rock And Roll All Night - Kiss
14. Paranoid - Black Sabbath
Nice. That looks a lot like a list for Guitar Hero

Pick #11, and I need me some Clapton. This is a nice Greatest Hits disk of his, with songs from his early Cream and Blind Faith days to Derek and the Dominos and primarily his solo career. I love Eric Clapton's "stuff", and on Vinyl no less
.
Pick #11: Complete Clapton 69-2006 4 LP Boxed Set (Eric Clapton)
Crossroads, Lay Down Sally, Change the World

The Ramones - Weird Tales of the Ramones (2005)
3 CDs and a DVD make up this collection which contain all of the hits, but the main feature here that distinguishes it from other Ramones collections is the 54 page comic book celebrating the superhero myth of the Ramones, which I'd much rather have on my island than the Ramones as shown through The End of the Century documentary.

Various - The Heavy Metal Box (Rhino 2007)
This 4 disc box set comes in a neat little box packaging set to resemble the head of a Marshall stack.
It covers everything nicely from the early dawn of metal with Blue Cheer's cover of "Summertime Blues" to Pantera and Sepultura with comprehensive sections on the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and the hair metal scene of the 80s.

Pick #12 time, and I'm sticking with the classics. I was bummed that the Best of the Doors was taken, but I didn't want to reach for it in the fist couple rounds. This boxed set is much more in depth, as is covers the wide range of the Doors' studio recordings, as well as several B side tracks too.
Pick #12: The Doors: Perception 12 Disk Boxed Set 2006
Ghost Song, Alabama Song, Roadhouse Blues

I had another soundtrack here, but went for a last minute shuffle to keep this list from looking too repetitive.
Astrud Gilberto - Compact Jazz: Astrud Gilberto (1990) -- Not sure how many votes I'll earn with 1960s bossa nova, but at least I'm going for the top of that particular genre. Songs written by Antonio Carlos Jobim and featuring Astrud, husband Joao Gilberto, and saxophonist Stan Getz -- all huge names, even if the hip hop crowd doesn't get 'em.
And, really, is there a better song for being stuck on an island than this one?
And a bonus. In karaoke form!!

I'm now at the point where I have WAAAAAAAY more list than I do remaining picks (my current back-up list is at 35 without really stretching my brain), which always makes the selection process more difficult than it should be. This next pick is an album I knew I would take since the moment I thought up this draft, however.
Etta James -- 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection (1999) -- I've loved Etta James' voice for as long as I can remember, and this is a great little (itty bitty, miniscule) collection of some of her biggest hits. As the Allmusic.com write-up mentions, real fans would likely prefer a more extensive collection, but since I'm picking only from albums I actually own this will have to do. Only eleven tracks, but not a single dud. It, predictably, starts off with "At Last" (easily her most well known song), but the highlight for me is "Don't Cry Baby." It's probably one of my favorite songs ever.

Etta James is brilliant...no doubt about it. I think you'll like this pick, too...or I might just end up back on your hit list. You realize this was just a matter of time, right?
Wild, Cool, and Swingin': The Artist Collection - Louis Prima - 1999
Actually, there are so many Louis Prima collections out there that if GGG decides to pick one up, she'll have plenty to pick from. This just happens to be the one I have...44 tracks strong. Has huge hits like Jump, Jive, An' Wail, Just a Gigolo, Buona Sera, of course...but some of my favorites, too: Angelina, The Lip, There'll Be No Next Time, etc. This collection is just FUN...and my Sicilian in-laws are proud that our toddler is growing up loving Louis, too.
Wild, Cool, and Swingin': The Artist Collection - Louis Prima - 1999
Actually, there are so many Louis Prima collections out there that if GGG decides to pick one up, she'll have plenty to pick from. This just happens to be the one I have...44 tracks strong. Has huge hits like Jump, Jive, An' Wail, Just a Gigolo, Buona Sera, of course...but some of my favorites, too: Angelina, The Lip, There'll Be No Next Time, etc. This collection is just FUN...and my Sicilian in-laws are proud that our toddler is growing up loving Louis, too.

Were I taking a Prima collection, this would definitely be the one. I'm not only because my list was getting crowded enough that I forbade myself from picking artists I took in the initial album draft.
While this pick hasn't put you on my hit list, however, the fact that you've opened the "Artist Collection" can of worms will definitely inspire some shuffling. The last few picks on my list are dependent on any/everything involving the words "ultra" and "lounge" remaining my own little secret.
Note: My 12th pick was One Wild Night: 1985-2001 = Bon Jovi.
