If you could put together a CD of 15 your favorite songs - songs that you like so well, that you could listen to this one CD over and over again if you were stranded on an island - what songs would your CD have.

There's a catch: the CD has to be metal, and you can only have one song from any given artist.

Here's mine (songs listed in alphabetical order, but only 'cause that's how they are on my hard drive):

01. Amorphis - Divinity
02. Angel Dust - Addicted to Serenity
03. Armored Saint - Creepy Feelings (from the Nod To The Old School CD)
04. Brainstorm - The Leading
05. Dokken - Mr. Scary
06. Iced Earth - Dracula
07. Jag Panzer - Black
08. Judas Priest - Green Manalishi (the live version from Unleashed in the East)
09. Megadeth - Lucretia
10. Metallica - Fade To Black
11. Pagan's Mind - A New Beginning
12. Riot - Twist of Fate
13. Steel Prophet - One Way Out
14. Tad Morose - When The Spirit Rules The World
15. Twelfth Gate - Waiting In Shadows

(ok...this is only a cheap ply to see what kinda stuff everyone else likes, and to maybe get some ideas on new stuff to look for, so don't be shy)

TOO much was removed from my list. These days, one disc would hold hundreds of songs. I won't settle for anything less. Shoot, I'll use Sony's ATRAC technology and place up to 490 songs on one disc. I should do that just in case. BUt here is my minimalist best:

Chastain - "Night of Anger"
Disturbed - "Prayer"
Dream Theater - "Pull Me Under"
Fates Warning - "Monument"
Fear Factory - "Securitron (police state 2000)"
Iron Maiden - "Alexander the Great"
Judas Priest - "Painkiller"
Megadeth - "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due"
Metallica - "For Whom The Bell Tolls"
Ozzy Osbourne - "Crazy Train"
Pantera - "Shedding Skin"
Savatage - "Hall of the Mountain King"
Slayer - "Seasons in the Abyss"
System of a Down - "Chop Suey"
Tool - "Sober"
