Depending on what kind of island you're on, this could be one of the most epic things ever experienced by man.

Evergrey - Torn
Eluveitie - Helvetios

^The premise was 10 - 20 albums...I guess you´ve reached that limit by now Big smile. But I know the feeling. I don´t think I would be able to chose either...an impossible task.

In no particular order but the ones towards the top obviously came to mind first:

FNM-Angel Dust
GNR-Appetite
Priest-Unleashed
Slayer-South of Heaven
Morbid Angel-Blessed are the Sick
Deicide-s/t
Death-Symbolic
Angel Witch-s/t
Black Sabbath-Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Mercyful Fate-Melissa
Skid Row-Slave to the Grind
Megadeth-Countdown to Extinction
Opeth-My Arms, Your Hearse
Helloween-Keeper of the 7 Keys Part 2
Emperor-Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk
Cradle of Filth-Cruelty and the Beast
Alice in Chains-Dirt
Led Zeppelin-Physical Graffiti
Rush-2112
King Diamond-Conspiracy

That is 20. That was difficult. The first 3 are always close to my mind, regardless of genre discussed.
I would gladly take poor quality copies so I could stretch my gigs. :)

^I think there are a couple of yours I´d probably also put on my list. "Dirt" in particular, but also "South of Heaven", "Appetite" and "Blessed". I´d probably pick "Abigail" and not "Conspiracy" and "Don´t Break the Oath" over "Melissa", but yeah King Diamond would also be heavily represented on my list.

The King decision was tough. I'm just a mark for "Sleepless Nights."
