8.- Queen: A night at the opera.
9.- Rush: Moving pictures.

Good one! This will be tough: (note I'm throwing them on as I think f them, this isn't necessarily a ranking thing):

1. Pink Floyd - "The Wall" (it's 2-disc set, too!)
2. Weird Al Yankovic - "Bad Hair Day" (I need some funnies)
3. Rush - "The Spirit of Radio: Greatest Hits 1973-1987"
4. Dream Theater - "Train of Thought"
5. Silversun Pickups - "Carnavas" (for mellowing out)
6. Metallica - Load
7. Purity Ring - Shrines
8. Outkast - Speakerboxxx/The Love Below ('nother set!)
9. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication
10. Dream Theater - "Metropolis Part 2: Scenes from a Memory" (hidden inside a "Boston" by Boston jewel case) :)

No one checked inside the cases.....

2. Gustav Mahler “Symphony #2: The Resurrection”
3. John Coltrane “Giant Steps”
4. Steven Wilson “The Raven That Refused to Sing”
5. Grateful Dead “Terrapin Station”
6. Alice Cooper “Welcome To My Nightmare”

12. Jethro Tull “Songs From the Wood”
13. Stevie Ray Vaughan “Couldn’t Stand the Weather”
14. Pink Floyd “Animals”
15. Mumford & Sons “Sigh No More”

Well, I'm already over the ten album mark and I'm just getting started. Makes me glad for my iPod. Now, how to charge it on a desert island is another story...
