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.

Marilyn Manson: Mechanical Animals
Love this album from start to finish.

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

Tremonti: All I Was
Another one I can play without skipping a single song ❤

Collective Soul’s self-titled album
My other original band crush ❤

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.”

Alter Bridge: Blackbird
Um, duh!

Lynam: Slave to the Machine
Still my favorite by them and always will be.

Feel free to make your own list! 🙂
Throwback Thursday: “Don’t Come Around Here No More”
Tom Petty was my first rock star crush. My parents took me to see him twice when I was eight-years-old. This is not my favorite song by him, though it is one of them. However, I really adore this video. 🙂
Song of the Week: “Rain Wizard”
This was one of about four songs I saw from them last week at the show with Tremonti and Shaman’s Harvest. See my next post for details 🙂
Black Stone Cherry — “Rain Wizard,” from the self-titled album (2006).
Song of the Week: “Country Band Man”
I saw this band for the first time on Saturday and it was instantaneous love! They put on a great show. Even more importantly, they are extremely talented musicians. I could be biased because they hail from the South–ha!–but seriously, y’all should listen to this song, love it (because you will), then go stalk their YouTube channel for more! 🙂
Framing the Red — “Country Band Man,” from the album Welcome to the Show (2012).
