Looks like Dark Side of the Moon, at least, has a good chance of going to the island. It's neck and neck with several others!

It's one of the classic reference albums, which is why I didn't include it in my 10 but would definitely have it on the SD card along with the entire PF discography. The difficult part would be to choose just ONE version of DSotM!

I'll be waiting for your impressions on regular N30 Vs the AP version. I'm still on the hunt too for the standalone UM AP, but I'm afraid that my best bet to get it is on MT only at eye watering $8k

I spent ~3hrs going back and forth between the N30LE vs the AP version yesterday and drove myself crazy searching for the differences. I found the difference between the two to be very subtle and can't necessarily say one is better than the other. The N30LE AP had a wider soundstage and the regular one felt a little more intimate. If the price between the two was similar, i'd probably recommend getting the AP since it "should" be better. But I honestly would not spend a ton of $. There are a few N30LE on the classifieds (mine included) that you could score for a much better deal than trying to get an AP version. My primary reason for getting the N30LE AP was to have the best possible match with the UM AP.

My opinion may change as the AP burns in more.

I'm not sure we've ever done a survey like this before, but...top 10 desert island albums. Compliations and greatest hits albums are admissable.

The approach I took for my top 10 is based on the idea that I am stuck on a island and music that would help me stay motivated to survive. Music to help energize me for hunting, passing the time by around the fire pit, and dealing with the emotional roller coaster of being stranded.

U2 - All That You Can’t Leave Behind
Yuga Wang - Rachmaninoff (Piano Concertos & Paganini Rhapsody)
Christina Aguilera - Stripped
Bill Evans Trio - Waltz for Debby
Nigel Kennedy - Vivaldi (Four Seasons)
Sasha - Involver
Green Day - American Idiot
Radiohead - Best of
Robert Miles - Dreamland
Top Gun Soundtrack

Yuja Wang - Rachmaninoff (Piano Concertos & Paganini Rhapsody)

Oh man, so sorry to have left off Blow by Blow. That, and Wired, are two of my all time favorites. Just too many to choose.

footnote: Listening to a lot of modern Jazz these days, so Snarky Puppy would be a current favorite!

That's why @Rockwell75 's - oc well meant and fun - approach was - sorry mate - a tad off in the sense of old fashioned : stranding on a desert island would definitely only occur with a few IEM, my DAP, an appropiate solar driven power loading device for it and... no albums but 10 SD-cards at hand (equalling maybe 50% of my album collection)
