Only 3 cds for the rest of your life, What are they?

[Postulate]

I would just bring 3 copies of Fates Warning's A Pleasant Shade of Gray, in case one or two were damaged or lost. Every other album is just a disappointment by comparison.

True, but APSoG is my lord.

 

[Burnout]

Augury - Fragmentary Evidence
Demilich - Nespithe
Cynic - Focus

 

[estYMaj]

My personal list would be
1. Remedy Lane
2. Entropia
3. BE
4. The Perfect Element
5. Scarsick
6. One Hour By The Concrete Lake

Then again I would never have Ghost Reveries or any Pain of Salvation album as one of the 3 albums for the rest of my life.

Alright. Yeah I'm thinking Entropia > RL as well sometimes. Whatever, both good albums and you have them both now anyway

Well, of the stuff I've been listening to lately, I'd have to say:

- Jean Luc Ponty/Frank Zappa - King Kong (1970)
- Negură Bunget - Om (2006)
- John Williams - Home Alone OST (1990)

Shame on you. No Zappa?

Shame on you. No Zappa?

My main reasoning behind that decision is that it implies that I would have to choose between Zappa albums, which is not something I'm prepared to do. But if compilation sets are allowed to be mentioned, I'd probably go for "Lather"

And for the record, King Kong was composed by FZ, and he even performed guitar duty on the album. So there!

"Lather"

Läther. Pronounced like leather.

I am on a laptop that doesn't have a numpad. If I would've written "Leather" you wouldn've just had to correct me anyways. How do I win?

 

[Phanto]

You can't win, I'm being an ass.

Lather is an excellent choice, and I realize FZ played on King Kong, since his name didn't appear first, you gave him second billing. Shame on you again. You can't win, because I'm being an ass as well!

I can win, because I am the biggest ass.

Better than having the biggest ass, I suppose...

Nobody wins when everyone is an ass

 

[manticore999]

Hard to narrow it down to 3, but ...

Symphony X - V
Dream Theater - SFAM
Emerson Lake & Palmer - Welcome Back My Friends (live)

Although ELP is a 2-CD set - does that count!?
