Here's the topic folks...(Paul Frank pj's - mine)
My rules were: no Soundtracks, no Compilations or Greatest Hits, no "doubles" (same band can't be listed twice), and no "live" albums (those could be separate categories on their own!).
In no particular order:
Van Halen - Van Halen
Rush - Moving Pictures
Duran Duran - Rio
The Police - Regatta de Blanc
AC/DC - Highway to Hell
Echo and the Bunnymen - Ocean Rain
Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard of Ozz
Guns 'n Roses - Appetite for Destruction
The Pretenders - Pretenders
The Cure - The Head on the Door
The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
The Beatles - Revolver
Depeche Mode - Some Great Reward
Eric Johnson - Tones
Def Leppard - High 'n Dry
Boston - Boston
Queen - A Night at the Opera
Prince - 1999
Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien
U2 - The Unforgettable Fire
As you can see, I tend to favor a lot of rock (classic and hard rock) as well as early to mid 80's rock/new wave. My tastes haven't changed all that much either...
This post would have been longer had I posted the album covers plus my snarky and rambling commentary but I just wanted this to be quite "Wham Bam, Thank you Ma'am!"...
Got any fave albums you'd like to share if you were leaving earth on a spaceship? I'd really love to know!

Desert island discs... I love it! FI've got several of these on my list as well.... though I prefer A Via Musicom beter than Tones. Did I ever tell you that I once saw a guitar clinic by Eric Johnson...... he's one interesting dude. He claimed that he could tell what kind of batteries being used in his pedals by the white noise!
hi kirk, so what's YOUR list eh? by the way, congrats on your first published food review in the sdreader! very nice!
DID's - i loved reading those in the old Pulse! magazine from Tower records.
re: Eric Johnson, i also like 'ah via musicom' but i like the mellowness of 'tones'. i saw eric johnson for that tour in 1990. it was either at the california theatre (now defunct) or the OAT. can't remember which.
