On an island with 13 CD's...

Remove all ads!

Alright you’re aboard a very large cruise ship. Then before they play Passion of the Christ in the onboard cinema the ship sinks. You are the only survivor and you strand on a deserted island, asleep. When you wake up there is a crate next to you with 13 CD’s and a CD player working on coconut energy so you can listen to the music all the time. To your surprise it are just the 13 CD’s you want to hear when you know you will be alone for a very long time. What CD’s will be in the crate for you?

Here is my pick:

Mago De Oz-Finesterra
Cradle Of Filth-VEmpire
Star One-Space Metal
Boards Of Canada-Music has the right to children
AntiProduct-Made in the USA
Mandragora Scream-Fairytales From Hells caves
Ship Of Fools-Let's get this Mother...
Within Temptation-The Silent Force
Tiamat- Wildhoney
Ambeon-Fate of a dreamer
TurboNegro- Apocalyps Dudes

With more than one from either 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, or 11. I'm not THAT picky, since nearly all are killer, though some are more killer than others. Couldn't decide on 13 specific.

 

In no particular order:

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Chronicle
Popa Chubby - Hit the high hard one
Live - Throwing Copper

Howlin' Wolf - His Best
Fleetwood Mac - Live at the BBC
Santana - The Very Best Of

 

@Aikanaro: It was realy hard for me to drop After Forever from my list, but I did because i also had Nightwish and WT and because Floor Jansen is singing in Star One as wel.

@Harbourboy: You don't know any of them? well Maybe you do if I say that Ziggy Stardust is David Bowie .

 

heh, I've never heard of any of them either. well... ok, heard of Bowie. But that's because I cant stand metal. Seems as though the same groups are very popular here though.

Man, I haven't heard of any of these albums.

Only Takara, Sarevok, and Chandos have listed albums that I have heard of and might listen to. I wouldn't mind being stranded with Sarevok's list (although I'd probably chuck Frank into the sea).

Everyone else has listed artists that sound a bit grisly: Death, Obituary, Morbid Angel, Bloodbath..... I assume this isn't happy Christmas music.......

 

Like you HB, I feel a tad out of place. As RPG lovers, it seems as though we are supposed to listen to gothic, death metal.

/me hunts down his slippers and pipe, and sits by a roaring fire muttering about youth today

 

@Takara:
You're supposed to listen to the music that you like.
At least, that's what i try to do.
(...)
We could start a discussion about music tastes, but i think that's pointless...

 

There's already a discussion about musical tastes somewhere else. I remember reading it and I hadn't even heard of some of the musical genres, let alone the artists.....

 

Hmmm...

Nightwish - Oceanborn
Nightwish - Wishmaster
Nightwish - Once
Enrique Iglesias - Bailamos
Enrique Iglesias - Enrique Iglesias
Enrique Iglesias . Escape
Enrique Iglesias - Cosas Del Amor
Davd Bowie - Ziggy stardust
David Bowie - The Singles Collection
Spice Girls - Spice World
Luciano Pavarotti - The Collection
Once Upon a Time in Mexico OST
Shrek 2 OST

And yes, I know that I am a deviant when it comes to music
