Desert Island Discs


Recommended Posts

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?

Off the top of my head, in no particular order

 

 

Queens of the stone age- self titled

 

Hrvrd- the inevitable and I

 

Glassjaw- worship and tribute

 

Guns and roses- appetite for destruction

 

Finch- what it is to burn

 

Fairweather- luisitania 

 

The movielife- 40 hr train back to penn

 

John Mayer - Continuum

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.

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

Really didn't think it'd be so hard to narrow down a lifetime of music into 8 selections when I made this thread.
