The One Album to Rule Them All.

[aswiftlytiltingreality]

Unearthed by e.s. posthumus

 

[Syntax Error]

Karma/Epica/The Black Halo

by Kamelot. Help me choose...

 

[Vortigar]

The album Touched by the Crimson King by Demons & Wizards. Both CDs, mind you.

I know a band called King Crimson, who have an album called "in the court of the crimson king"
Any relation?

King Crimson (and specifically that particular album) stands at the root of heavy and symphonic rock so it could very well be a reference. The existance of a Crimson King is deeper ingrained into history though, often been used as an alias for the devil, one of the more well known ones from more recent history is from Stephen King's Dark Tower series. So I think it could swing either way, it should be a reference, if they know their music history.

Sgt.

Peppers

Agreed.

 

[LucasSlatay]

...And Justice For All

Metallica

I was asked this question by my history teacher once...

Suppose you were stranded on an island (hooray!), and had only an indestructible CD player with an infinite amount of battery life. You're only allowed one album to listen to for the rest of your days on said island (meaning actual, store bought CD. NO BURNED MIX CDs. I'm looking at you *pirates*, harhar). Which album would it be, and why?

Personally, I'd go with Octavarium by Dream Theater. Goes through a whole range of moods, so I could listen to any song for any mood.

Haha, that's cool. When i was reading through the first lines i thought to myself "mmh, definately something from Dream Theater... maybe an album with different moods.. Octavarium". Then i read your choice and and got a big grin on my face

Other possible choices would be Systematic Chaos or Metropolis: Pt.II by Dream Theater or Guns 'N Roses' Use Your Illusion I & II, if i may count them as "one" album.

 

[Conqueror Kenny]

Mtallica's greatest hits. Could keep me going for years with hits that great.

 

[KittywifaMohawk]

That's a tough one for me.


Either The Curse by Atreyu
Or Lead Sails and Paper Anchors 2.0(Yes there is a 2.0 version.) by Atreyu.

All for all, it's by Atreyu, as you all know, my favorite band.

That sounds like a mildly cool teacher. Our history teacher just goes on and on about how we're slaves to the government, how we're going to die young, and why we generally fail. It's a lot of fun.

As for the magically indestructible album, I'd probably have to take Jason Mraz's "We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things."

... or maybe "Sam's Town" by The Killers... or Ratatat's "Classics"... or Radiohead's "Best Of" album... or "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" by Coldplay...

That's a hard question >.<

 

[bluerahjah]

Appetite for Destruction by Guns 'N Roses, the greatest album ever.

 

[HollowpointHead]

Moving Pictures by RUSH

 

[sirdanrhodes]

Cradle of Filth's Dusk and Her Embrace.

That one wasn't good, the new one is better (Godspeed on the devils thunder).

I would take cradle of filth - Harder, Darker, faster Thornography deluxe edition.

 

[KyleTheAngry]

Ah...the number of GN'R fans here makes me happy

I'm gonna narrow it down to 4...

1. Appetite for Destruction - Guns N' Roses
2. Skid Row - Slave to the Grind
3. Welcome to my Nightmare - Alice Cooper
4. Dirt - Alice In Chains

How I would choose I have no idea...

 

[Arsen]

Therion's live album "Live in Midgard".

 

[Sennz0r]

One disc or an album? I'm not saying I'm going for an album with 4,5,6 cd's in it here, but I wanna be absolutely certain of that before I make a decision.
