I don't have an iPod, so no albums for me

But yeah, I guess these are the albums I'd pick :

Metallica - Master of Puppets
Amoral - Fallen Leaves & Dead Sparrows
Swallow the Sun - New Moon
Pantera - Far Beyond Driver (or their best of -album, even though it doesn't actually contain their best songs )
Alestorm - Back Through Time (because of Shipwrecked, get drunk or die! )

Really hard though. MoP is pretty much the only 100% certain one out of those, because I consider it the best album ever.
The Amoral album is one I'm listening to a lot right now, but I don't know how long it'll last yet.
New Moon is my #1 winter album, it's really nice to listen to when it's -30C and you're walking in the snow, but I don't know how it would work on an island. It's a depressing album though, so it'll help me to get of the island (by hanging myself ).
And of course you need to have some Pantera. Can't live without 'em.
Alestorm... well, it's mostly quite happy music, so I guess it'll be a nice change between the agressive and depressing stuff Get drunk or die!
