Lykathea Aflame! Elvenfris is great, that would be an interesting album to be stuck on an island with.

For me...

Jakob - Solace
Cynic - Focus
Devin Townsend Band - Synchestra

Given how much I love these bands, that was a hard pick between albums...

 

[Harry]

Jeff Buckley- Grace
Between the Buried and Me-Colors
At the Drive In- Relationship of Command

 

[Daemoniac]

What The Fuck Is Wrong With You People? - Combichrist
SuperCoolNothing V2.0 - 16volt
The War Of Art or The Feeding - American Head Charge

 

[Empryrean]

WhiteChapel- The Somatic Defilement
All Shall Perish- Awaken The Dreamers
The Faceless- Planetary Duality


I'd like if my ipod was an option too... haha

 

[Swippity Swappity]

Cynic - Traced in Air
Incubus - A Crow Left of the Murder
Periphery - WTF WHENS IT COMIN OUT?! (Or just a CD full of Bulb's soundclick stuff. Either way.)

This thread is just unfair. 3 is too hard. I'd be hard pressed to realistically pick 10.

 

[lucasreis]

odious mortem - cryptic implosion
black dahlia murder - nocturnal
and some sort Flamenco CD

Steve Vai-Passion and warfare
Dream theater-Scenes from a memory
Opeth-Still life.

 

[Fred]

Morte Macabre - Symphonic Holocaust
The Mercury Program - A Data Learn The Language
Van Halen - 1984

Symphonic Holocaust basically encapsulates everything I love about music. Just remembering the lead mellotron line to the title track in my head right now actually got me close to tearing up, haha. Couldn't possibly say what it is that works so perfectly, but fuck it, it sounds amazing.

A Data Learn The Language is one of those rare, rare albums that has so far proven impossible to overplay. I've listened to it probably about 4 times a week on average for the past couple of years, know it back-to-front and inside-out but am I bored yet? Hell no. Some of the best textures, layering and quasi-climaxes I've ever heard, and anyone who thinks vibraphone isn't the sexiest-sounding instrument around is clearly slightly sick and to be pitied immensely.

Had to think quite hard about not including anything heavier, but no metal album has ever got my head and fist pumping to the same extent that 1984 does, so it seemed the only logical option. One album that contains songs as good as "Hot For Teacher", "Panama", "Drop Dead Legs", "Top Jimmy" and, of course, "Jump"? Fucking count me in!

 

[Makelele]

Opeth - Still Life
Porcupine Tree - In Absentia (or maybe Stupid Dream)
Pain of Salvation - Remedy Lane

King's X - Gretchen Goes To Nebraska
Mad Season - Above
Opeth - Blackwater Park
