And then you die!

I had a stroke in June & looked death in the face several times over the years. If I get to hear great music first, I'm OK with that.

If God said "You have enough time left in your life to listen to ten rock albums only, one each by ten different rock bands", which bands (not albums) would I choose?

Boy, this is tough! I'll answer your first question and stick to bands (that actually makes it a little easier). So, in no particular order:

1. Anglagard
2. The Flower Kings
3. Spock's Beard or Neal Morse
4. Dream Theater
5. Yes
6. Gentle Giant
7. The Enid
8. Transatlantic
9. Karmakanic
10. Moon Safari

* I suspect my list would look different should I attempt this again tomorrow, or the next day, or the day after....

Someone else beat me to it, but I'd find the 10 longest albums ever released. Who cares what they are, I'd turn the volume down and try to live out the rest of my life for as long as it lasted!

Ok, here's my real answer (not necessarily in this order)
1. Zappa - One Size Fits All (couldn't live without hearing the Inca Roads guitar solo one more time)
2. Camel - Snow Goose
3. Renaissance - Live at Carnegie Hall
4. Genesis - Lamb
5. Yes - Tales
6. Magenta - Home
7. Phideaux - Doomsday Afternoon (pretty appropriate for the topic)
8. VdGG - Pawn Hearts
9. Holst - the Planets
10. Ambrosia - s/t

If music be the spice of life... play on.
Play it loud... play it all, and play it now, for tomorrow may be too late.

Something like that:

The Beatles - Rubber Soul

Electric Light Orchestra - Out Of The Blue
Asia - s/t
Transatlantic - Bridge Across Forever

Moon Safari - A Doorway To Summer

It would have to be a slow day in human affairs for "God" to finally get to this file, wouldn't it? I guess it would be to either decree this, or keep playing Free Cell on his computer.

Do you think we should tell him that he can also play to Mahjong on his laptop??

just so the arsehole would leave humankind alone, instead of have them fighting on ways how to adore him
