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?

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.

Choosing a band called "Hammock" on a "desert island" list. Nice.

Hopefully you have a hammock on which to listen to "Hammock".

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

Solid choices, but I think adding a "best of" album may be cheating or a clever loophole. 

Well played.

      Melodic Hard Rock Song of the Day

      By Mr.AOR · Posted

      Yep, cracking indie release of which there are so many but this one is actually really good.

      Babymetal

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      I have been a Band Maid fan since their early days (2015) as I really don't mind foreign vocals as long as the music is great, but I always kinda avoided Babymetal as I saw a video of them once and really wasn't impressed with the kiddy vocals, so never gave them another chance. Fast forward to now and on the back of the collab with Electric Callboy I have decided to give them a go. I thought they had a huge discography as they have like 25 albums, but on closer inspection it is only four studio albums and 21 live albums. As I am not a fan of live albums anyway, I decided to buy the four studio albums as they are all quite cheap. Have to say there music is a mixed bag, but overall really enjoying a lot of it. Not sure if I just picked the wrong song to start with, or if it is just that I have adapted more due to getting into a lot of weird and wonderful foreign bands over the last few years, but I am glad I finally gave them a proper go. Have to say, if this song was sung in English I think they would have a lot of fans on here
