Hmmm...

#2 Metallica - Load
#3 Metallica - Reload
#4 Green Day - International Superhits

#13 Josh Groban - Closer

Those are not in any order at all...just which bands I rememberd first off the top of my head.

 

@ Harbourboy

Cheers! Well we are stuck on an island after all, so variation is of utmost importance. No matter how ludicrous Bloodbath and Jewel side by side sound. I really like both CDs!

 

Metallica - S&M. OMG, Kitrax. This is the biggest show of disrespect one can have towards one's own art.

Now look at me for a well thought and balanced list - as not to affront Death Rabbit.

1) Verdi - Requiem
2) Pink Floyd - Pulse
3) Fields of the Nephilim - The Nephilim
4) Manu Chao - Proxima Estacion: Esperanza
5) Metallica - ...and Justice for all
6) Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine/Biomech (the best stuff Canada has to offer!)
7) Death - Symbolic
8) Iron Maiden - Life after Death
9) Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
10) Marduk - Panzerdivision Marduk
11) Schubert - Winterreise
12) Nick Cave - Best of (incl. Bonus Disc)
13) Manowar - Hell on Stage

Hm, I left out Christmas Songs from Sinatra, Crosby and Cole... well, nobody's perfect...

 

Nightwish - Over the hills... ep
Opeth - Orchid
Sisters of Mercy - First Last and Always
Imortal - At the Heart of Winter
Cadaveria - The Shadows Madam
Primordial - Spirit the Earth Aflame
Inflames - Clayman
Judas Priest - Painkiller
My Dying Bride - Like Gods of the Sun
Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengance
Iron Maiden - 7th Son of a 7th Son
Sigh - Imaginary Sonicscape
Ensiferum - Ensiferum

Well my list covers my every mood and even has a Christmas song - Nightwish's version of 'Walking in the Air'.

 

Forget the CD's -- I want Ginger and Mary Ann.

Or Keira and an endless supply of rum ... no ... wait ... she burned the rum ... I'll stick with Ginger and Mary Ann.

 

Mmmmmh...

Okay:

Eurythmics - 3 CD's (I can't find them right now, so I can't tell what they are called)

The Secret of Monkey Island - The Soundtrack

LOOM - Game Soundtrack

Shrek - Movie Soundtrack

DRAGONHEART - Movie Soundtrack

My self-made CD with lots of Monty Python quotes, and other quotes. Though the end is being cut off by the CD player, I can complete them, because I know them by heart.

Monty Python - Monty Python sings

Dawn until Dusk - Tribal Song and Didgeridoo -- by Adam Plack, Johnny (White Ant) Soames, William Brady & Luke Cummins...although I would prefer it to have my own Didg' with me...

The Dig - Soundtrack (not sure which of the two. Probably the "Additional Game Sountrack", which has 34 titles, while the "Original Game Soundtrack" only has 11)

The Longest Journey - Soundtrack

The 8th of the CD's in the Mega Beat Box thingy we have...


Yeah, that's about it.

Now if I had a computer with at most Win98, OR with WinXP and ScummVM, DOSBox, and VDMSound installed, THEN my choice would be a lot different...(I'd probably bring all the games of which I listed the Soundtracks...There's nothing better than adventuregaming on a lonely day...)

 

In no particular order:

Lord of the Rings soundtrack (all three)
Afro Celt Sound System - Release
Afro Celt Sound System - Sound Magic
Enigma - Love, Sensuality, Devotion
Enigma - MCMXC a.D.
Cirque du Soleil - Alegria
Cirque du Soleil - Quidam
U2 - Best of 1980 - 1990 and 1990 - 2000
Santana - Abraxas
Santana - Shaman
Loreena McKennit - The Book of Secrets
Loreena McKennit - The Mask & Mirror
Gladiator Soundtrack
Paul Simon - Graceland

And if anyone makes any comment on how similar my list is to Tak's, know that I introduced him to Loreena, Cirque and Enigma.

 

Finally.... somone else with a selection I both know of and like.

 

Oh go wine to some hard-core redneck Metallica fan who actually cares. S&M is a very good album...if you are too closed minded to enjoy Metallica and an Orchestra, playing some of Metallica's best songs ever written, then you are missing out. I actually like the S&M verson of 'Master of Puppets' and 'Of Wolf and Man' better than the origanl versions.

 

In no particular order:

1. Röyksopp: Melody A.M.
2. Outkast: SpeakerboXXX/The love below
3. Muse: Origin of symmetry
4. Eminem: Encore
5. Aphrodite:Urban Junglist
6. The White Stripes: Elephant
7. Goldfrapp: Black Cherry
8. Placebo: Once more with feeling
9. The Beatles: 1
10. Massive Attack: 100th window
11. Linkin Park: Meteora
12. Franz Ferdinand: Franz Ferdinand
13. Soulwax: Any minute now/50 cent: Get rich or die trying.

Don't think I'd get bored quickly.

B..b...blasphemy! Thou shalt be punished for thine crimes!

 

@Saber the Arsonist: Coconut boat sounds nice

The reason that it are only 13 CD's is because thats th amount of CD's that fids in my CD wallet

I did see Children of Bodom - Follow The Reaper in a few lists, but I don't understand since IMHO it was the worst COB album ever...

BTW my list is not all punk/metal but since there are a lot of band in it that arn't that well known people could easilly think so...

@Jazhara7: Where do you get all those game soundtracks???

There are so many kinds of metal that it wont get boring soon... I mean if you have both Nightwish and Cradle Of Filth with you, you would know exactly what I mean...

 

I will send you a PM about this. There were never any released on CD (at least no complete soundtracks with all the in-game music. And the Monkey Island Sountrack also got some interpretations of the main theme on it!), so it is a fan project called "Lucas Soundtracks". LucasArts seems to know about it, and does not mind this project (apparently).

And the "The Longest Journey" Soundtrack is available for download on the official homepage of the game (there was also one available for buying once, which had some extras)

 

I also consider some S&M versions better than the originals. Like all the Load and Re-Load ones and "Of Wolf And Man" (i hate the original version).
As for Master of Puppets...sorry Kitrax...but the original blows away the S&M-version!

 

Yep, you've only brought one metal album with you.

 

@Warrior of the World so you don't call Nightwish Metal?

 

@ Sleepless

I really enjoyed Follow The Reaper, followed by Hatebreeder - couldn't stand the others! Something Wild was just a random shredfest and Hatecrew Deathroll was dumbed down and pushing into hardcore territory (mainly the vocals).

 

You have to try Norther. For me, their cds (mainly the last one) are like the lost albums of CoB discography. They are shameless. TOTAL RIP-OFF!!

 

I was not referring to Nightwish in my post. I merely caught a whiff of sell-out on the breeze.

 

I've had to revise my list a little:

1) Poison - Flesh And Blood
2) Evanescence - Fallen
3) Everlast - Whitey Ford Sings he Blues
4) Thirty Odd Foot Of Grunts - Gaslight
5) Alice In Chains - Jar Of Flies/Sap
6) Pearl Jam - Ten
7) Guns N Roses - Appetite For Destruction
8) Metallica - S&M
9) Casey Donovan - For You
10) Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Let's Face It
11) TISM - De Riguer Mortis
12) Live - The Distance To Here
13) Live - V
