auslander Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 You've been marooned on a desert island and all you managed to salvage was a Marantz CR612 CD Hifi system with custom walnut stereo speakers and a solar-charged battery to provide endless power to the hifi. Then, you spot a sealed, waterproof box with your handwritten label on it: "My 5 Ultimate Albums". Survival can wait. You've got plenty of time. Right now it's time to ROCK! What CDs are in the box?

2023 Gold Donors Darkstone Posted July 9, 2021 2023 Gold Donors Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Without delving into too much thought, these are off the top of my head. I could spend weeks/years trying to narrow it down. Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime. Lynch Mob - Wicked Sensation. W.A.S.P. - The Crimson Idol. Skid Row - Slave To The Grind. Roxus - Nightstreet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living With The Ghosts Sigur Ros - Valtari Choosing a band called "Hammock" on a "desert island" list. Nice. Hopefully you have a hammock on which to listen to "Hammock".

Crazysam Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 It would be difficult to narrow it down to just 5 and a few would undoubtedly change depending on when I made the selections. Are you sure we couldn't fit a few more in that box if we used slim cases with just the front inserts? At the moment I'd probably go with the following: Def Leppard - Pyromania Skid Row - S/T Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction Eyes - S/T Lillian Axe - Love & War 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinsane Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 Some nice picks. Jez w/the Kim Mitchel and Russ w/D'Generation... For me its easy: Metal Church-S/T Warrior Soul-Drugs, God & the New Republic (but i'd settle for Last Decade Dead Century) Enuff Z' Nuff-1985 (whaat?) Spread Eagle-S/T Kix-Cool Kids And if I was lucky like others and Dice Clay and had an opportunity for "2 boxes": Junkyard-S/T Dweezil Zappa-Confessions Ruth Ruth-Laughing Gallery The Lemons-Marvel Y&T-In Rock We Trust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auslander Posted July 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 What was the comedy movie where a character was asked what his favourite album was and he said "best of The Beatles"? 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
