Title: 10 albums you'd take on a desert island?
Post by: Rusco on April 21, 2018, 10:16:52 PM: Another silly thread...

If you'd be forced to move on a desert island and you could bring only ten records with you, what would they be?
Only one album per artist!

Mine could include:

NMA - T&C
S.O.B. - Thrash Night EP
Dead Can Dance - Towards the Within (live)
Pete Namlook & Bill Laswell - Outland, vol. III
Voivod - Dimension Hatröss
Miles Davis - (come on, any compilation by him...)
Discharge - Fight Back EP
Damned - Machine Gun Etiguette
E.N.T. - Holocaust in Your Head
Kimmo pohjonen - Kalmuk

Post by: Master Ray on April 21, 2018, 10:42:20 PM: LOVE a silly thread, sir! ;)

Now, my opinion could / WILL change on a daily basis (as it did when there was a previous thread about 'top ten albums ever'...) but as of today, with only one album per band/ act (and in alphabetical order...) it would be...

Bruce Springsteen - The Wild, The Innocent and the E Street Shuffle
David Bowie - Hunky Dory
Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible
Marillion - Clutching At Straws
New Model Army - Impurity
Pulp - This Is Hardcore
Rollins Band - Weight
Talk Talk - The Colour Of Spring
The Smiths - Meat Is Murder
The Who - Quadrophenia

:D

Post by: Pol on April 22, 2018, 08:30:25 PM: Cheers Jack, a bit surprised someone else likes some of my choices, went for stuff I wouldn't get bored off n a bit of a range of rock music. Went for nobody else as it's a double n love the way the gig builds up.
Title: Re: 10 albums you'd take on a desert island?
Post by: Master Ray on April 22, 2018, 08:49:44 PM: Pol, I'll also throw out some love for Cyclefly (haven't we talked about this before? Saw them supporting some band or other in the 90's and I thought they were excellent...)

Already re-thinking my top ten... I somehow missed out 'Dog Man Star' by Suede, 'Master Of Puppets' by Metallica and '30 Something' by Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine. But which albums would I replace them with? They're all great albums and I can't pick one above the other! :-[

Ten albums? Not fair! :D

Title: You ask the impossible... just 10 ALBUMS... no BOX SETS... lol. ;D
Post by: 8 on July 02, 2018, 10:13:38 AM: This is an impossible task for me. Been pondering it for quite a while now. lol, I was going to cheat by picking my favourite box sets, but you clearly state / request albums. So I can't nail it down to just 10, because they'd be all NMA/JS albums beginning with 'Winter' going back 9 but excluding all the live ones because I'd want to get as many different songs in the pile as possible, so that I would be able to include 'Navigating By the Stars'! So there you have 'em. :D
