My name is Jack and I'm with my co-host social today and we are going to do top five desert Island questions. And so today's question is social. What are your top five?00:00:31JackDesert island.00:00:33JackAlbums, music albums.00:00:38XochitlUh, my God. I mean, this one's a little bit hard, but I'm gonna have to say Shakira, MTV Unplugged.00:00:48JackInteresting. I have two MTV on plugs in.00:00:48XochitlShakira yeah.00:00:52JackMy top five.00:00:55JackYeah. Interesting. OK.00:00:57XochitlYeah, I definitely say Shakira's MTV unplugged album Shakira, volume one.00:01:04JackSo that's your second choice.00:01:06XochitlThat's my second choice, yes.00:01:07JackOK, so two Shakira albums.00:01:08JackWow, you're OK. I didn't know you were that.00:01:09XochitlShe can't albums.00:01:10XochitlShe's yes, I love Shakira. Especially OG. Shakira is just sublime amazingness, musas by Natalia Lafourcade.00:01:11JackBig of a Shakira fan.00:01:14JackOK.00:01:24JackOK.00:01:25JackI have no idea what you just said, but I'm I'm going to say, OK.00:01:25발표자UM.00:01:28XochitlMoses is like, muses, kind of, and that's what it means translates to Natalia Lafourcade is a Mexican singer-songwriter, and the Musas album is based also boleros, which is a traditional like Mexican genre of old style like 50s music.00:01:46JackOhh I can almost kind of picture it in my mind, you know.00:01:51발표자Yeah you can.00:01:52XochitlGet like the vibes a little bit.00:01:54XochitlAnd so she wrote these songs.00:01:56XochitlInspired by that time period.00:01:58XochitlAnd invited a lot of artists from that time period onto the album as features, and it's an absolutely beautiful album. I definitely recommend it. So that knocks out three.00:02:06JackOK, cool.00:02:11XochitlAnd then, OK, this one I think.00:02:18XochitlI gotta Google.00:02:19XochitlIt to make sure it's the right one.00:02:24XochitlOh great, I remember what it is, Jesse. Enjoy, which are another Mexican singer-songwriter group, and their album is Gunjin sequel Pero, which means who should the dog stay with? Because it's like a breakup album.00:02:40XochitlAnd it's a.00:02:41JackWho gets the dog? OK. Yeah, that's sad. Yeah.00:02:43XochitlYes. Who gets the dog? So it's a great album because it was iconic.00:02:54XochitlIn the time period that it was that it came out for and.00:02:58JackSo what was the time period when? What are?00:03:00XochitlIt came out in like the 20 tens, I believe.00:03:00JackWe talking here?00:03:03JackOhh. OK OK. This is not like I.00:03:05JackThought you were like 1970s or 80s, OK?00:03:05XochitlNo it.00:03:07XochitlNo, no, it was just iconic for the 20 tens because it was like a shift in.00:03:12XochitlThe genre they're they're genre sort of Mexican music was like a very indie style. That was kind of unheard of at the time. So I think that's.00:03:22XochitlLike a big shift.00:03:23XochitlAnd fifth one.00:03:30XochitlUh, my God, I'm battling here.00:03:33JackI know the fifth one is always the hardest one because it's like you're excluding 100 other ones that you love, you know.00:03:42XochitlThat's the hard part about it.00:03:48XochitlI think.00:03:51Xochitl80 Gourmet and trio Los Panchos so 80 gourmet. I guess her her English name is 80 Gorm. She's a she's an English speaking singer. I believe she's from the US and she made a an A Spanish album. Spanish speaking album with trio.00:04:10XochitlSponges, which is like a.00:04:11XochitlMariachi group.00:04:12XochitlAnd she did a bunch of classics like Salami and Bill Canela and like.00:04:18XochitlAll these boleros bolero.00:04:19XochitlWhich is a genre I was talking about.00:04:21XochitlEarlier, she did a bunch of these songs in this genre with this group, Joe punches and I.00:04:29XochitlIt's beautiful, absolutely beautiful album.00:04:33XochitlYeah. So I'm going to have to go. Yeah. That was like from the 50s. Probably. Yeah.00:04:34발표자OK.00:04:38JackYeah. And we can get a a good feeling here for your musical. I think musical taste like you. Definitely. Yeah. Well, it was female, you know, like, like, Latino. Sorry. Latina kind of singers. Yeah.00:04:45XochitlYeah, it's all women like.00:04:57JackBut it's it's very popular right now too. So very, very beautiful.00:05:04JackAlright, so it's my.00:05:05XochitlTurn now. Yes, it's your turn.00:05:07JackOK. All right. We're going to go old school here 9. We're going to go all the way.00:05:11JackBack to 1994 Nirvana.00:05:16JackMTV plug.00:05:16XochitlOhh my. That was gonna be that was it was.00:05:19XochitlHard cause I left that one.00:05:20XochitlOff of mine.00:05:21XochitlBut it was hard to leave it.00:05:23XochitlOff, yeah.00:05:23JackOh, I love that album and I can, you know, it's like, these are all albums that on my list that I can listen to all the.00:05:32JackWay through from front to back.00:05:34JackLike I don't skip one song on the on the album, which is weird because I usually used to buy albums and then I would listen to one or two tracks. You know the the title tracks or the title track and then maybe at the singles and I would never listen to the kind of the the other songs on the album.00:05:54JackBut I love all of the songs on this album, so MTV 1994, I believe, Nirvana, MTV Unplugged, #2.00:06:06JackIs Alice In Chains MTV Unplugged, which is? And if, if our listeners don't know Alice In Chains, was a kind of heavy metal grunge rock band from Seattle in the early 1990s.00:06:26JackAnd the unfortunately, the lead singer, Lane Staley, died of a drug overdose. Quite.00:06:34JackA few years ago.00:06:36XochitlRight on.00:06:37JackYeah, it was really terrible. He suffered a a bad drug addiction, like so many artists do. And so yeah, but that they did an MTV unplugged session that had all such great kind of acoustic versions of their.00:06:56JackAmazing songs. So I love that album #3 is Weezer is a band and they have their very first album. Was this blue album. It's like a blue. It's almost like solid blue.00:07:14JackCD OK like the it's just a solid blue color and it says Weezer or something and that whole album I can listen to all the way through and I I love that album. It's just a a brilliant, brilliant album.00:07:35JackDo you know Weezer? Do you ever listen to Weezer?00:07:39발표자There's still.00:07:41XochitlI think I I I've I've heard of them, but I don't. I couldn't say. Oh, I know that song or something, but I think I'm sure that if you played a song of them, I would probably recognize it.00:07:44JackOK, OK.00:07:51JackYeah, I think maybe our only crossover here in this Venn diagram between the two of us is Nirvana. I think it's it's probably, but.00:08:00XochitlYeah, that album specifically.00:08:02JackYeah, #4, my fourth album is a kind of a weird choice, like a lot of people wouldn't wouldn't understand this choice, but.00:08:13JackIt's a. It's a. It's a single guy. Who? It. It sounds like a band, but it's actually just one guy and it's he's called badly drawn boy. And he did a soundtrack for the movie about a boy, which came out about 1819 years ago.00:08:35JackIt's based on a A, a novel, and the movie is fantastic. I love it about a boy, but the the songs that he wrote for that album I can listen to that album all the way through. I just love it and I just think it's amazing. So I.00:08:54JackThat's my number four album. Is the soundtrack to the movie about a boy by the artist, badly drawn boy.00:09:04JackAnd #5, I'm going to go, Bob Dylan, blonde on blonde, and that's probably his most famous album. It's got all the hits in there, but I can listen to that album over. I could listen to it multiple times in a row, just on a road trip. I'll hit play.00:09:24JackListen to the whole album. Go back to the beginning, listen to it again and find new things in there that are more interesting.00:09:31JackUh. And so I I really, really love that album. So Bob Dylan blonde on blonde and I miss you.00:09:40JackKnow I didn't put any Beatles in there.00:09:41XochitlBob Dylan is another one. My dad listened to as well. So.00:09:45JackYeah, I'm. I'm sure your dad.00:09:45XochitlI am familiar.00:09:46JackAnd I probably have more more musical.00:09:48XochitlYeah, I mean, I was introduced.00:09:49JackTaste or something? Yeah.00:09:51XochitlTo Nirvana by my dad and then Bob Dylan. Also, my dad listened to a lot. So.00:09:59XochitlI'm familiar with Bob Dylan.00:10:00JackOhh. Your dad listened to Nirvana as well.00:10:03XochitlYeah, my dad also did listen to Nirvana.00:10:05JackWow, OK, you dance cool. My dad listened to The Beach Boys and The Beatles.00:10:12JackYou know that kind of that era? So he's my dad's a bit older than your dad though, so.00:10:17XochitlYeah, your dad's my dad's.00:10:20XochitlYeah, my dad's, like, between your dad and your age, right, I guess.00:10:25JackYeah, he's like one generation. Well, he's like an old.00:10:28JackGen. Xer right?00:10:30XochitlYeah, he's like a really old Gen. Xer or like a.00:10:33XochitlReally young boomer.00:10:35JackRight, right. My dad's a straight up boomer all the way, yeah.00:10:42XochitlYeah. All right, listeners. Well, I am actually really interested to hear what your five favorite albums are, because I'm. I'm curious.
