Bad luck, the apocalypse is nigh. In fact, you only have enough time left to listen to one album before the end of days. What do you choose?


Actually, for me it's a no-brainer and everyone who knows my taste in music can easily guess it:

It's not a proper album, but it more or less is.

I can't really suggest anything over GSY!BE, to be honest.

Maybe Sigure Rós (during that crescendo in Glósóli).

Cocteau Twins - Blue Bell Knoll [remaster]

They are the only band I'm crazy enough about to have their discography in both original and remaster.

Probably easy to guess for anyone who pays attention to my comments on music threads.. but... Has to be Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart.

YouTube- Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band When Big Joan Sets Up

Its 79 minutes long too, which should hopefully extend everyones lives temporarily if God would be so kind as to let the album finish before the end.

Problem is, there's no band that has more than, like, 3 good songs on one album.

But I suppose It'd have to be something like E.S Posthumus - Cartographer (Disc 2 - Piri Reis Remixes, I prefer the instrumental ones)

Simple solution, find an album with less than 3 songs :)

But really, there are only two possibilities:

1) You are not that into music
2) You have not found the right album.

I know tons of albums that have more than 3 good songs. To me, of course.

What does it mean to be "that into music"?

I listen to music several hours a day. The last three weeks, I've been browsing various music for 1-2 hour every day, looking for something new. I haven't found more than one or two bands that have a couple of good songs.

It is rare I encounter that song that just blows my mind, unfortunately.

/end off topic

Ed: If I found an album with only 3 songs, chance is I'd only like 1 of them.

You obviously have never listened to Close To The Edge.

I have one question: just where is all the melodrama?

I don’t know about the apocalypse, but if in act of heinous betrayal I was to be stabbed in the back, this would be the sound I’d bleed:

I agree Jenova is good, but it always seemed wrong when used in the actual game.

God, it takes like two minutes before that song actually just barely resembles it original adaire, it sounds a lot like the Futurama theme.o-o

Veh. Not telling.
Hmmm... What is better than Mozart's Requiem? Though the work wasn't fully completed by him, it is rather suiting. Plus, the tune is quite beautiful <3 Even if I weren't dying, I could very well listen to it. lol

Frankly, I'd like to hear my parents singing. Even though I'm assuming I'll die after them. My mom and/or dad used to actually sing this to me when I was little:

YouTube - Animals - The House Of The Rising Sun (lyrics)

And, you've got to hear it to understand, but my parents sing off key, and poorly, but in such an earnest way that you can't help but give your heart over to it. And then mom starts on the out-of-tune piano...but with such grace.

So yea, that's what I'd like to hear as I die.

I have no idea how to answer this. I have never heard my parents sing so there out. My most popular songs wouldn't fit well. Maybe a song I have not heard before but , wait just thought of a good one, Paramore's Hallelujah. I would assume this would make me smile before I die.
