Big Decision

If you could only keep 5 of your favorite records which ones would you choose? It's a tough call but i'm going with these...
1. Trouble - s/t
2. Sabbath - Master of Reality
3. Metal Church - Blessing in Disguise
4. Overkill - Horrorscope
5. Tourniquet - Pathogenic Occular Dissonance

1. Alice Cooper - WTMN
2. Trouble - S/T
3. Deliverance - S/T
4. Vengeance Rising - Destruction Comes
5. Bathory - Twilight of the Gods

1. Motorhead- Stone Deaf Forever
2. Alice Cooper- Life and Crimes of
3. Iced Earth- Dark Genesis
4. Misfits- Coffin Box
5. Samhain- Boxset

It's not cheating to pick boxsets right?

My head would explode... no way I could boil it down to 5 CDs... unless I can cheat and make 5 CD-R compilations of a variety of bands/songs

how about we just bring a computer with wi-fi and a HUGE hard drive?

Ok - only 5? OUCH!

So hypothetically speaking if I could only keep 5 - I'd have to have some variety, so I'd take these:


Sodom - Agent Orange (for my thrash intake)

Therion - Lemuria/Sirius B
Depeche Mode - Violator
Opus III - Mind Fruit
Manowar - Kings of Metal

Sorry that's why this is a big decision. Let's say there was no way out of it and you had to choose the 5. Oh and no box sets.

why only 5?

anyway, here goes...
1.) Judas Priest - Sin After Sin
2.) Mercyful Fate - Don't Break The Oath
3.) Motorhead - Overkill
4.) Warlock - Burning The Witches
5.) Slayer - Reign In Blood

damn, i'd be leaving behind some awesome albums.

Deliverance - Weapons Of Our Warfare
Living Sacrifice - ST
Messiah Prophet - Master of The Metal
Vengeance Rising - Human Sacrifice
Altar Boys - Gut Level Music

And maybe some water......dry biscuits or something, a palm tree maybe for shade?!?!

This is imposible, i have most of the classics on vinyl lol. Anyway, i have many cd´s too and i would take with me:
MANOWAR:SIGN OF THE HAMMER
KISS:ANIMALIZE
JUDAS PRIEST:DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH
BARON ROJO:VOLUMEN BRUTAL
URIAH HEEP:ABOMINOG

Only 5? Ouch! OK, I'll give it a go....


Aerosmith - Rocks
Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous
Kiss - Alive
Ted Nugent - Double Live Gonzo
Deliverance - Weapons of our Warfare

Piece of Mind - Iron Maiden
Blackout - Scorpions
Razor's Edge - AC/DC
Screaming for Vengence - Judas Priest
Master of Reality - Black Sabbath


I WANT MORE......................................

Very tough but I'll list some of the albums that I listen to on a regular basis these days:

Edge Of Thorns-Savatage
Somewhere In time-Iron Maiden
The Battle-Allen/Lande
Ocenborn-Nightwish (mainly for Sleeping Sun)
Burden Of Truth-Circle II Circle

(good thing this is hypothetical or I'd go crazy trying to REALLY decide which to limit to)

You and me both!

By the way - each day you asked this question - my answer would be different.

For example - had you asked this last week I would have answered this way:

Sacrament - Haunts of Violence
Ultimatum - Puppet of Destruction
Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
Deliverance - Weapons of Our Warfare
King's X - Out of the Silent Planet


I was more in a 'thrash' mood last week. This week I'm in a variety mood.

Why 5? I dunno, i guess it's a challenge for any true metal head to make the sacrifice and choose and it's also interesting to see what it all boils down to. It was hard for me to make the choices too!

This is a "big decision" but here goes:
1.) Judas Priest - Painkiller
2.) Queensryche - The Warning
3.) Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind
4.) Dream Theater - When Dream and Day Unite
5.) Fates Warning - Awaken the Gaurdian

:metal:

How about a compromise - a new 160 gig ipod with what ever you can fit on it

Thats a novel idea

Wow, this is extremely difficult. As another poster pointed out, I'd need to have some variety, so...


New Order - Substance (for when I'm in an upbeat synth-rock mood)

Iron Maiden - Somewhere in Time (my metal fix)

"Return of the Living Dead" soundtrack (goth and punk all in one, great collection of artists)

Front Line Assembly - Tactical Neural Implant (terrific industrial dance)

Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting (Johnette Napolitano's voice is soo soothing..)
