Title: Top 10 Stoner/Doom/Proto-Metal for a Desert Island?
Post by: MR. CREEPER on December 18, 2010, 06:54:49 PM
There has always been the question of, If you were stuck on a desert island and could only have 1 album what would it be? I have too many really to narrow it down, so since this is the infantile stages of our new board, I was thinking, what would be your top 10 of the music we discuss the most around here?

1-Down-NOLA
2-Black sabbath-s/t
3-Thin Lizzy-Live and Dangerous
4-COC-Deliverance
5-Cathedral-The Ethereal Mirror
6-Black Sabbath-Masters of Reality
7-Sasquatch-II
8-Mountain-Climbing
9-Sleep-Holy Mountain
10-Dixie Witch-Into the Sun

Couldn't the island be tropical, or at least sub-tropical ?   :)

And make sure it's one of the islands formerly occupied by pirates, so there could be some hope, however slim, of finding some buried treasure. Airlift me about 100 cases of Whaler's Rum and 1000 cases of Pepsi 2 liters while you're at it. I'll learn to like it without ice.

Allright, American list, and I'm not going to be overly serious about this, because that kind of takes the fun out of it- so some of these could be "changeable".


The Electric Prunes ~ Mass In F Minor
Jimi Exp ~ Are You Experienced ?
Iron Butterfly ~ In-a-Gadda-da-Vida
Love ~ Four Sail
The MC5 ~ High Time
Mountain ~ Nantucket Sleighride
Nuggets Box Set !
Mitch Ryder ~ Rev Up
Steppenwolf s/t
the stooges ~ Funhouse

Read your list before, but just noticed your comment. Sister Justice, sweet ?
Yes it is. Couldn't have said it better myself.
