Music

• Sum 41 - Does this look Infected?
• The Offspring - Americana
• Metallica - Master of Puppets
• Childern of Bodom - Follow the Reaper
• CKY - Vol. 1

My first three CD's would be music. I'd bring

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Soundgarden - Down on the Upside
Pearl Jam - Ten

My fourth CD would be a self-help CD teaching me how to fish with bare hands, build fires and things like that.

The fifth CD would be very large and inflatable.

Prodigy - The Fat of the Land
Rammstein - any of them
Thousand Foot Krutch - Phenomenon
Final Fantasy X OST
and really any other CD in my collection, they're all really good to listen to.

Ween

Leo Kottke

Eminem (dont laugh)

something heavy...maybe Tool or Rage ATM.

Stupid, stupid brain of mine read DES-ERT insted of DESERT. Shouldn't there be an options to delete your post btw?

Anyways here's my list.

Common - Like Water For Chocolate
Bone Crusher - Attenchun
Trick Daddy - Book of Thugs: Chapter AK, Verse 47
50 Cent - Power of the Dollar

And the last would be
Wilson - Story of the volleybal

311 - Grassroots
311 are one of my all time favourite bands without a doubt, and picking one CD from their collection is a very tough call, but I reckon this one would probably claim the space. I'd consider taking others, but with only 5 CDs to spare I guess I should vary.

The Anniversary - Designing a Nervous Breakdown
I'll be honest, I don't yet own this CD as I ordered it in a shop some months ago and they still haven't got it! I've heard 5 tracks from it though, and they are all amazing, so its gotta be with me.

Big D And The Kids Table - The Gipsy Hill EP
One of the coolest ska/punk bands I know of - not only do they play great music but I met a couple of them and they were really nice guys. Some classic tunes on this, and thankfully its 10 tracks make it a little better than just an EP.

Rx Bandits - Resignation
Overall I may well prefer their last album "Progress", but my favourite bandits tracks are found on this CD, so its coming with me.

Reel Big Fish - Why Do They Rock So Hard
I'd have to take this one as it is such a mood lifter. Whenever you hear "Somebody Hates Me" cracking in at the start, you can't help but pull a smile, and it doesn't let it go until the very end.

Reel Big Fish were great at this year's V-Festival, couldn't stop laughing at that trumpeter's afro

Reel Big Fish are just loads of fun to begin with. I just love the many Scott jokes throughout their first two albums. Great stuff there.

And I've only got one track by the RX Bandits, VCG3. Might have to look into getting more.

ReNo, 311 are ace - you got the new album yet?

And abuse this website, I get all my CDs from them as their dirt cheap, free postage & packaging and they're all imports so you can get 'em long before their out over here in the UK :smile:

not an easy task...

MUSIC:

• Tool: Lateralus
• Marilyn Manson: Antichrist-Superstar
• Godhead: 2000 years of human error
• Compilation CD of all my mp3's
• either Tool: Aneima, or a copy of cash's self-help cd, unless he would let me borrow it...lol PLEASE!!! :razz:

GAMES:

• HL2 aslong as this island comes complete with an uber system :wink:
• C & C: RA2
• HL, CS, DOD burned. hehe kinda cheating :razz:
• someone elses working copy of Xcom apocolypse
• Operation Flashpoint: 3cd compilation.

just wondering... where are we getting power to use these cds? can someone tell me where this magical island is? LOL

From solar power either that or we have to run around in a big hamster wheel

I do love a bit of RBF, they are always a good laugh live. 311 I've been into for a long long time Adam, I got a copy of the new album off a mate as he appears to have bought the only copy in Scotland, some of its really good, in particular "Crack the code" and "Other Side of Things" IMO.

Tis a really good album, maybe a little more mellow than usual but all the better for it :smile: It's been out in America for a few months now but still no sign of it over here - not even a review in Kerrang (though they will slate it anyway...they have no taste).

RBF's cover of Take On Me is pure class too :biggrin:

All these people are listing games (and with the expansion packs no less!) And I think some of you are forgetting the fact that this said 5 CD's and not 5 games. In other words, HL + OpFor would be TWO CD's, not just one, Total Annihilation which someone mentioned requires TWO CD's for install, and so on and so forth. Please be reasonable with your answers people, like I was.
