In an effort to liven things up, here's my current list of ten (actually 12 because I couldn't just choose one Okkervil River to end it with) songs to take to a desert island in no particular order.
The Fall Peter and the Wolf
Tonight Sibylle Baier
Grendel's Mother The Mountain Goats
If You See Light The Mountain Goats
I Wish That I Could See You Soon Herman Dune
Strange Machines Peter and the Wolf
Fake Palindromes Andrew Bird
Whistle of a Distant Train Ed Harcourt
The Vice and Virtue Ministry Happy Bullets
Song of Our So-Called Friends Okkervil River
The Velocity of Saul at the Time of His Conversion Okkervil River
The War Criminal Rises and Speaks Okkervil River
What are yours?

Apparently you couldn't keep it to TWO either...
Nope, and in retrospect, I'd also like to add several more Mountain Goats songs, a couple of White Stripes songs, and one or two from Bishop Allen.
If I was going to be on a desert island, in reality I'd insist on a top 100. At least.
Good choices, by the way.
Hmmmm...
Off of the top of my head, they are:
Little Miss Sunshine
Narc
Garden State
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Science of Sleep
