Stranded on an Island (Music Edition)

So we’ve all seen the hypothetical “if you were on an island and could only bring five things, what would they be?” Well, this is the music version. What ten albums would you have to have with you? Obviously, this is my list and it is in no particular order.

Pink Floyd: The Wall

Almost everyone’s essential Pink Floyd, and why wouldn’t it be? I also love the movie.

Tom Petty: Wildflowers

I was such a Tom Petty fangirl when I was little. This is my favorite, closely followed by Full Moon Fever.

Avenged Sevenfold: Nightmare

It used to be City of Evil, but I like the diversity from track to track on Nightmare.

Disturbed: Down With the Sickness

Though I’d hate not having their version of “Sound of Silence.”

The Beatles: Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band

Gotta have something by the Fan Four and my mom used to sing me “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.”

Song of the Week: “Tourniquet”

So after hearing that Marilyn Manson is coming to town in April, I just had to honor them in a Song of the Week post. I have been waiting 15 years to see this band; needless to say, I am practically dying from excitement!

This has always been one of my favorites from them. In fact, I’m fairly positive this was the first song I fell in love with…even before “The Beautiful People.” ❤

Marilyn Manson – “Tourniquet,” from the album Antichrist Superstar (1996).

Halloween Playlist

After introducing him to several of the bands that I listen to, I was told one day by my former boss that my collection consists of “vampire music.” That description made me giggle, but I know what he meant. I do like a lot of, shall we say, darker songs. For that reason, I was given the shared responsibility of compiling a playlist for a Halloween party. This is what I came up with. (Note: not all of them are creepy, sexy, and/or demonic. Lol. I have a wide variety of tastes.)

1. Feed My Frankenstein (Alice Cooper)
2. Love You to Death (Type O Negative)
3. Black No. 1 (Type O Negative)
4. Dark Secret Love (HIM)
5. Velvet Touch (The 69 Eyes)
6. Lost Boys (The 69 Eyes)
7. Dirt Room (Blue October)
8. Diabolic Crush (Third Realm)
9. Carry On Screaming (Ruins) (London After Midnight)
10. Spider and the Fly (London After Midnight)
11. Cyanide(The Rikets)
13. This is Halloween (Marilyn Manson’s cover)
14. Traumfrau (And One)
15. The Ones (Aesthetic Perfection)
16. Big Bad Wolf (Aesthetic Perfection)
17. Military Fashion Show (And One)
18. Assassinate Me (Jesus on Extasy)
19. The Camper Velourium I: Faint of Hearts (Coheed & Cambria)
