Welcome back to Sitting Here in Limbo, where the subject picks 10 albums they would take with them on a desert island, rules for the list here. This week, we’ve got a heavy hitting blogosphere guest. He really needs no introduction, but I’m delusional from interviewing* David Stern and having Shaq foreclose on my house, so he’s getting one anyway.
When Will first asked if I’d be interested in doing this list, my first reaction was to say “no” because I’d be mortified if people knew what kind of music I like. But then I thought about it and realized this could be a liberating experience. I could stand up and say, “My name is Jimmy Traina and I like bad, embarrassing, cheesy music.” If you’re expecting to see “cool” bands on here, you’re gonna be sorely disappointed. If you’re expecting to see bands and singers that every guy seems to fawn over, i.e. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones etc., think again. I like ’80s, I like cheese and I like ’80s cheese. (Ed. Note: Stamos and Show are secretly already fawning over this list.)
If you follow the blogosphere, you best be reading Hot Clicks everyday. Today’s lister culls the hottest sports stories, the best looking women, pop culture nuggets a slew of hysterical videos and sprinkles it with some random sports betting advice and puts it all in the same place. So, uh, basically all our favorite stuff. Oh, and occasionally he tosses in the casual interview with a superstar like Erin Andrews or Jeff Van Gundy (to name some recent ones). Anyway, without further ado, please welcome Jimmy Traina to the Island.
1. Bon Jovi: Slippery When Wet — It’s this simple: I can’t NOT take the CD that has “Livin’ on a Prayer” on it.
2. Bon Jovi: New Jersey — This is the the band’s best CD BY FAR. The opening three tunes of “Lay Your Hands on Me”, “Bad Medicine” and “Born to Be My Baby” get things off to a great start. “Blood on Blood” might be Bon Jovi’s most underrated song of all time, and “I’ll Be There For You” is either their best or second best song ever.
3. Prince: Purple Rain
