10 CD's to Have On A Deserted Island

dtp_skullisland_800.jpgImagine that you somehow get stranded on a deserted island, sorta like that TV show Lost…except without polar bears, crazy people and shit. So you’restranded there and you just happen to have 10 cd’s there to listen to. If you could have your pick of ten cd’s to have with you, loaded on your IPod, whatever, what would they be? This was a tough choice but here is mine.

1. Megadeth: Peace Sells
2. Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here
3. Black Sabbath: Paranoid
4. Danzig: III How The Gods Kill
5. The Misfits: Collection 1
6. Pantera: Vulgar Display Of Power
7. Lamb Of God: Ashes Of The Wake
8. Iron Maiden: Number Of The Beast
9. Marvin Gaye Collection (2003)
10. Led Zeppelin: 4

I mixed it up a bit because I wouldn’t want just metal to listen to, I’d go crazy. Besides, you need a little Marvin Gaye cause you never know if there is going to be some one else stranded with you and no one sets the mood like Marvin.

    Wow; does everyone have great lists or what. I love your list actually. I would be ok without the Danzig and Pantera. But the rest are all good. Wish You Were Here is a amazing choice and also fitting plus I love your Marvin Gaye line — too funny. So far all the list rock.

    yeah, only ten. It wasn’t easy picking the list but what I had to do was pick some of my favorite artists and then choose an album from each. Then you start to think…batteries…
