Dean Pierce's Favorite 'Desert Island' CDs

Posted on Wednesday, February 14 2007 @ 01:28:56 CST by Duncan Glenday

Rhapsody - Power Of The Dragonflame - The greatest album I have ever listened to in my life. Everything I could ever wish for in an album and more!

KISS - (Music From) The Elder - An album that failed, but was way ahead of it's time. This would sit along nicely along side albums by Rhapsody, Manowar, and Virgin Steele. The album that showed me just what it was that I always searching for in music.

Bad Company - The Orignal Bad Co. Anthology - The band who started it all for me, thier music is timeless. Picking a single album by these guys is impossible!

Helloween - Keeper Of The Seven Keys - Note I didn't say part 1 or part 2. Both are essential. These were 2 truly groundbreaking albums, that influence a whole future generation of progressive power metal bands!

Star Queen Faithbringer - Something very unique, and something very special from the most special of people. This album inspired me to launch my first domain, need I say more?

Winterlong The Second Coming - The more I listen to the work of Thorbjorn Englund, the more I am impressed with his uncanny knack of playing right things at the right time. His natural musical instincts are amazing!

Glass Hammer Lex Rex - A real revelation to me in modern progressive rock. Combining my love for symphonic music, legendary tales, and the ability to bring it all alive through this music!

Neal Morse Testimony - An album where the artist and the music become one. This is his Testimony, this is his progression, this is him reaching out with his music and his spirit to touch his Lord. One of the most well put together and executed albums I have had the joy to experience!

Kansas (box set) - Much like Bad Company, there are just too many great albums by this band to pick just one! Song For America? Leftoverture? Masque? Point Of Know Return? Give me some of each, for I will never forget any of it!

Mott The Hoople The Ballad Of Mott: A Retrospective - No one served great hard rocking music with a lot of heart and soul better than Ian Hunter and Mott!

Angra Holy Land - The magic of Andre Matos and company is a thing of beauty. Combining power metal, progressive arrangements, and their own touch of world music is something truly memorable, and a breathtaking listening experience...
