Most probably a silly topic , but we used to do this a lot at school.
Name your ten best albums (doesn't have to just be guitar) or Albums you would take with you to a deserted island!
Mine would be-
1. Genesis - The lamb lies down on broadway
2. Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffitti
3. The Beatles - white album
4. The Who - Tommy
5. Yes - Fragile
6. Steeleye span - commoners crown
7. The Beatles - Revolver
8. Extreme - 3 sides to every story
9. Rush - Moving Pictures
10 Neil Young - Decade
Could change next week though. Most probably gives my age away.
These albums most probably changed my life.

1. Metallica - Black
2. Joe Satriani - There are at least 5 awesome ones to choose from.
3. Andy Timmons - Resolution
4. Judas Priest - British Steel
5. GnR - Greatest Hits
6. Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms
7. Queen - Greatest Hits I
8. Queen - Greatest Hits II
9. Queen - Greatest Hits III

Probably Queen would be the absolute most important to me. Such a variety and such balanced music, although I'd be certifiably loony by the time I got off ?
