Okay here goes my Desert Island Ten. Not sure what the rules are on compilations/greatest hits collections, so I'll avoid those (it would make things easier though!)

Most of these (as might be expected) appear on other peoples' lists. I will avoid my tendency to fill it up with 10 Pink Floyd albums, and try to remember that on a desert island, I'm going to want some variety.

1. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of The Moon
2. Rush - Moving Pictures
3. Tori Amos - Under the Pink
4. U2 - Achtung Baby
5. Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream (how can this not be on anyone's list?!?)
6. Pearl Jam - Ten
7. 10,000 Maniacs - Our Time in Eden
8. The Gathering - Mandylion
9. The Cranberries - Everybody Else is Doing It, So Why Can't We?
10. Morphine - Cure for Pain

If given another 10 for the "Bomb Shelter 20" I would add on:

11. Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes (very difficult to keep off the top 10)
12. Pink Floyd - The Division Bell
13. Pink Floyd - Meddle
14. U2 - The Joshua Tree
15. Rush - Roll The Bones
16. Tool - undertow
17. Suzane Vega - Songs in Red and Gray
18. Nightingale - I
19. Portishead - Dummy
20. 311 - Music

As thinfourth2 pointed out, being an Empeg owner makes this an extremely difficult exercise!!! There are albums I simply couldn't live without that couldn't make the cut here!
