paranoidantroyd Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 The name says it all. As an homage to the long running series on the BBC I thought it'd be fun to see what members would choose as their "desert island discs". The show has a different guest on each episode and they're asked to give their top 8 albums that they would like to have with them if stranded on a deserted island. So with that said, what are the 8 albums that you couldn't possibly live without? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nothingnatural Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Failure - Fantastic Planet Queens of the Stone Age - s/t Deftones - White Pony Melvins - Houdini Tool - Aenima The Sound - From the Lions Mouth Lush - Spooky Black Sabbath - Paranoid These are the ones that just popped in my head. This would be a really difficult decision if faced with the actual situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zacooper Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I know, I know too many overhyped bands and all from the 2000s. I think these records give me a little bit of everything I need to get through though. Brand New - The Devil and God blink-182 - Self-Titled Jack's Mannequin - Everything In Transit My Epic - Yet Thrice - Anthology As Cities Burn - Son I Loved You At Your Darkest Taylor Swift - Red Johnny Cash - American IV or Greatest Hits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
