Desert Island Discs

[Jack the Stripper]

It would make for some fun if suddenly the rules were changed and we had to stick with what we had and no lending was allowed but you could trade with others before we get to the Island

^ If that happened, I'd wonder who hacked my account!

Really enjoyed seeing Agents of Fortune and The Temptations show up in Thel's collection and KDC's inclusion of Siouxsie.

Not sure Charger will be happy, as I've gone with Iced Earth's Framing Armageddon: Something Wicked Part 1 rather than Night of the Stormrider. But in my defence I've only listened to the latter once since I got it a couple of weeks back. But Framing Armageddon has long been one of my favourite albums, my only dissapointment was that for part 2 Ripper was sacked and Matt Barlow returned, and Part 2 was a real let down.

I've got to have the musical equivalent of BBQ - low heat, long time, lots of flavor. I'm very certain that all of Led Zeppelin was spinning this record as they composed stuff that would make its way to Physical Graffiti. Not that that's the reason I want this album - just that it's been a very influential disc in music, and it's not hard to hear why. Great arrangements of horns, mellotron, and other instruments when needed, but there's always a big bass sound in them to put a floor underneath Mavis Staples' amazing voice and Pop Staples' incredible guitar work. The group left behind the Gospel when they went popular, but they didn't leave behind the message in their socially charged and uplifting lyrics. They don't curse the darkness, they light a candle and this album always takes me higher.

We have 4 Priest albums so we should have 4 Maiden albums.

That used to be my favourite Maiden album, but over the years Powerslave has gradually passed it.

21...I was going to take the Asbury Park, 1975 bootleg box set Sabotaged, but it is a three disk set so I was concerned it would get tossed in the ocean as non-compliant. This is one will have to do:

19. Cirith Ungol - King of the Dead
20. Slayer - Hell Awaits
21. Black Sabbath - Past Lives
22...One more for today since I've slacked here and there. This is a fantastic slice of time and tight musicianship. I kept flip-flopping between this and All Day Music, but decided this disk just had a bit "more".

[Zzzptm]

Don't worry, the rules are not changing. I've confirmed with myself that borrowing *is* allowed.

So I'll be borrowing that NMA, War, the bootleg, and Piece of Mind.

I pick this one precisely for reasons some rank it low among Steely Dan releases - the snark of it all. But I love letting this just play all day and find the songs very inspirational. So it goes in the collection.
