Thinking logically, I would want as much music as possible so I would Go for longer albums and double albums thusly I would pick pink floyd's 'the wall' (mostly just because of 'the trial'). Between the buried and me - colours. I would need some death metal so Spawn of possession's Incurso, I think Shaolin death squad's five deadly venoms (despite the fact that it is only 45 minutes long). I would need a good dose of Devin Townsend so Ghost, addicted and ocean machine. That's seven so far, i'm still thinking. Gorillaz self titled album is a quality album and so versatile so that is eight. One of the Gojira albums between the link and the way of all flesh, I want one of David Maxim Micic's bilo albums, but they are all quite short, but if I had to it would be the third one at 46 minutes long, but I would choose TooLs Lateralus.

So that's
- Pink Floyd - The wall
- BtBaM - Colors (colours ,,/, )
- Spawn of possession - Incurso
- Shaolin Death Squad - Five deadly venoms
- Devin Townsend Project - ghost
- Devin Townsend Project - Addicted
- Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine : biomech
- Gorillaz - Gorillaz
- Gojira - The link or from mars to sirius or The way of all flesh (still thinking here)
- Tool - Lateralus.

That does it, I think that's ten albums that I could live for ever with.

 

[UltraParanoia]

No order.

Fear Factory - Obsolete/Demanufacture
Dream Theater - Scenes From A Memory
Death - Symbolic
Fleetwood Mac- Rumours
Metallica - ...And Justice For All
Judas Priest - Painkiller
Toto - IV
Star One - Victims of the Modern Age
Pagan's Mind - Enigmatic: Calling
Nightrage - A New Disease is Born


How's that for a mix!

Ghost is a great shout, that is wonderful relaxation music and has so much depth. Good to see the first Gorillaz album in there too I love that!
