8 songs? I'll give it a try.

Jimi Hendrix - Freedom
Dinosaur Jr. - Pick Me Up
Van der Graaf Generator - Meurglys III (The Songwriter's Guild)
Univers Zéro - Dense
My Bloody Valentine - When You Sleep
Kultivator - Barndomens Stigar
Kayo Dot - The Manifold Curiosity
Indian Summer - Angry Son (the 16 minute version from Live Blue Universe)

This list is in no way definitive.

Well, you can never be to careful when holidaying in the North of Scotland
Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat?

Now it I had a perpetual power source, I guess I'd just take my digital music player along and have it all. Big%20smile
Seriously, I have such a huge collection, I could not pick.  I used to have a hard enough problem figuring out which CDs I wanted to take with me when I went on vacation.  It was a rough life in the pre-digital music player era.Cry
That's my two cents for what it's worthless.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

You raise a good point, so if this was the case then you'd naturally go for the albums with the best artwork. In which case...
1. King Crimson-ITCOTCK
2. Yes-Relayer
3. Genesis- Nursery Cryme
4. Pantera- A Vulgar Display of Power
5. Frank Zappa- Weasels Ripped My Flesh
6. Hawkwind- Hall of The Mountain Grill
7. Led Zeppelin- Houses of The Holy
8. Pink Floyd- Animals

you mustve heard of the extremely long running radio show 'desert island discs', if not heres the idea

if you were stranded on a desert by yourself, and were only allowed 8 [or 10-i cant remember] songs, which songs would you choose and why?
 
I can never think of just 8, becuase i try to think of a song thatll remind me of each of my siblings and my mum, thats 6 already taken, then I also want a few that remind me of certain times in my life, and songs thtave helped me through bad times etc
 
the definite songs I would take are
 
castles made of sand-jimi hendrix experience [i wont say why]
fragile-nine inch nails-makes me think of my sister 
karma police-radiohead [again i wont say why, tis a private reason]
make you feel better-chili peppers-reminds me of my family as a whole, especially my brother
 
the next 4 or 6 fluctuate all the time
 
could anyone decide a definitive 8 [or 10 lol]?
