You're going to be marooned for a while. No ships in sight.

Choose ten (10) cds you just could not live without. Ten individual albums. That's it.

And, after much thought and elimination, here are my picks.

01) Bjork - Homogenic
02) Cave In - Jupiter
03) Dredg - El Cielo
04) Glassjaw - Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence
05) Isis - Oceanic
06) Mad At Gravity - Resonance
07) Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
08) 30 Seconds To Mars - 30 Seconds To Mars
09) Tomahawk - Tomahawk
10) Tool - Lateralus

These would probably be different in time, but I consider all of these CDs to be timeless.

Hmmm....

Sadist - Lego
NiN - Fragile and Downward Spiral
Trevor Pinoch's Brandenburg Concertos

CoF - Damnation and a Day (haven't listened to all, so this one or Lovecraft and Witch Hearts...better yet, a burned cd of my favorites)
Coven - Boneless Christian
Lords of Acid - Farstucker (or better yet, a burned cd of my favorites)
KMFDM - NIHIL

dude! burned cd's are cheating. you get 10 albums, not 10 discs packed with as many good songs as you can get on them. the question wasn't, 'what 700 minutes of music would you want on a desert island?'

that said, i have no f'ing clue. mebbe i'll think about it.

I'll cheat, you can go ahead and listen to the same 10 bands over and over and over and over. Assuming that you managed to bring a solar-powered cd player with you. If you didn't, we'll its a moot point. Also its assuming you have some source of food and water, else you're going to die in 3 or 4 days anyhow and even good music isn't going to help.

So burned cds it is for me.

700 minutes? What f\/@king CD's do you buy!! I want them!!

1) Powerman 5000 - Tonight the Stars Revolt
2) Static - X - Wiscounsin Death Trip
3) Static - X - Machine
4) Karmic Jera - Zombies, Blood and Go Go Girls
5) Rammstein - Mutter
6) Mad Capsule Markets - OSC-DIS
7) Our Lady Peace - Naveed
8) Our Lady Peace - Clumsy
9) Bush - Golden State
10) Noise Therapy - Tension

Now what about Mini-discs, Cassettes, MP3 players etc :p

god is irrelevant asked for individual albums not discs that you have put together but that just points to the fact that picking 10 albums is hard in itself and especially when you like so much music and the reality is that if you were stuck on a desert island you would get bored with those ten albums pretty fast.

anyway, my tastes change alot and I usually get rid of albums I don't really listen to anymore, but here is my current top ten out, mostly out of what I have:

1. Nas- God's Son
2. Richard Ashcroft- Alone with Everybody
3. Jay-z- the blueprint
4. Dave Matthews Band- double disc acoustic live with tim reynolds (oops I cheated too)
5. Nas- Stillmatic
6. Radiohead- OK computer
7. Coldplay- Parachutes
8. Afgan Whigs- 1965
9. System of a Down- Toxicity
10. Styles P- Gangsta and a Gentleman

In reality however, these 10 would probably all be classical music because I could probably delve into the classical more deeply and it would hold my interest longer, but this is my "pop" list.
