The end of the world...wadda ya gonna do?

[RoknRollJesus]

Okay, it's the end of the world, you can only save 5-10 albums before your
rocket leaves for.......I dunno...Mars.

Question...which albums do you save because they are your favorite...essential...can't live without albums?
Rules: Non-Meat Loaf albums ONLY, no greatest hits, no iPods, no self-complied burned CDs, no MP3 players, no box sets.
BTW, All of Meat's catalogue will undoubtedly be included in everyone's so that's why I went for a non meat Loaf list. You can still take your Meat Loaf albums when the earth is exploding and your family is begging you to get on the rocket. I just want to know what everyone's non-Meat Loaf must haves are.

My list...
1. Bat Out Of Hell -Meat Loaf
2. Hotter Than Hell -KISS (nice little 'Hell' theme going here)
3. Hot August Night -Neil Diamond (no one had better give me grief over this one)
4. Couldn't Have Said It Better -Meat Loaf
5. Alive -KISS
6. Liquored Up & Lacquered Down -Southern Culture on the Skids
7. Ingenue -kd lang
8. Live at the Sands -The Rat Pack (Dean, Frank & Sammy)
9. Live from Hawaii -Elvis Presley
10. Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols -The Sex Pistols

Whew....that was hard! granted this list is subject to change at any time....but my top five would remain the same!

Next...

5) Call Off the Search - Katie Melua

3 of those are compy's Chris, which are stricty forbidden under RnRJ's rules.

[The Flying Mouse]

I'd take my Meat albums.
Let's face it, if we're all getting on a space ship to escape an exploding Earth, no one is going to be too bothered to check I have no contraband Meat albums

It would be funny though, "Hey, your not allowed to bring Hit's Out Of Hell on this ship , get off we're leaving you behind"

If it came down to it i'd be happy enough to stay behind and witness first hand the end of the world with a cold beer and Bat Out Of Hell blasting out at full volume

[Heli]

It would have to be:

Bat out of Hell
CHSIB
Welcome to the Neighbourhood
Dead Ringer
Bat 2
Very Best
Storytellers(DVD)((I don't have the actual CD)
Midnight
Quid Pro Quo
Bonnie Tyler-greatest Hits

There the only albums i ever listen to anyway!!

[Chris]

In that case, the revised list is:

Miss Saigon- Original Londan Cast Recording
Les Miserables - Original London Cast Recording
Cliff's Hit Album - Cliff Richards
American Pie - Don Maclean
In The Good Old Days - Dolly parton
Completely Hooked - Dr Hook
Close To You - The Carpenters
Running With Scissors - Weird Al Yackovich
Elvis At Madison Square Gardens - Elvis
No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem - Kenny Chesney

No compilations!!
