Desert Island discs used to be (or still is??) a programme on the radio where I come from. A famous person would have been interviewed on and would have had to have picked their 8 fave tracks that they would have liked if they were to become stranded on a Desert Island. Along with the complete works of Shakespeare and/or the Bible you could also choose one book to have as well as a luxury item which in no way can help you to escape from the Island or enable you to have contact with the outside world.
For the answers here members can choose their 8 (and 8 only please guys ;) ) favourite albums instead of single tracks.
Mine are as follows:
Albums:
Vinnie Moore: Minds Eye
Yngwie Malmsteen: Trilogy
Vinnie Moore: Time Odyssey
Racer X; Street Lethal
Tony MacAlpine: Edge of Insanity
AC/DC Back in Black
Iron Maiden: The Number of the Beast
Antonio Vivaldi: The 4 Seasons
My fave book: The Lord of the Rings
Luxury item: A flamenco guitar so that I could get practising a style of music that I've always wanted to play.
Albums
Metallica - ...And Justice For All
Metallica - MoP
Metallica - Load
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
Queen - A Kind of Magic
Queen - Innuendo
Queen - Made in Heaven
Book - Maybe The Hobbit or Conan Centenary edition
Luxury Item - Tough choice but either a big box of porno mags or a flamenco guitar
