But "The Stalker" is one of those quintessential ICP tracks that has no class and a 10/10 hook that is everything to me and wins the battle all by itself. Not quite any song off Ringmaster is as fantastic.

I think that this ho likes me
SHE TELLS YOU TO **** OFF WITH SUCH CLASS
I think that this ho likes me
YEAH GO ON AND GET THAT ASS

Never heard of him. Will check it out. A track or two to get me started?

I think the only thing that throws me off of Beverly Kills is Joke Ya Mind. It's corny (even by ICP standards) and aged terribly. Ringmaster has the spooky feel to it that always reminds me of October and the Halloween spirit, though.

Here's some Paris that's stuck in my head.

Paris is meh tbh.

Understandable.

Edit: You may like other songs in his catalog do to different taste but none of it really varies much from what I've shown you.

Yeah early 90s hardcore hip hop could be pretty uninteresting.

The thing is he's stuck to the same shtick across decades. Which is cool for people who were fans listening in real time but coming from somebody that listened to it all in one go it just got redundant.

All right, that is a whole lot more than I had expected. That's a lot of space. Have you an extra external HDD you keep it on? My own comics collection only just barely tops out at 300 gig.
Amateur, I know...

Alright I feel good about my list

The No-Brainers:

David Bowie - Low

Elliott Smith - Either/Or

The Replacements - Let It Be

These are probably my 3 overall favorite albums. They have stuck with me for years now and never get old, I didn't even have to think about these.

Variety:

Paul Simon - Graceland

The Clash - London Calling

Ween - The Mollusk

A few albums here that hit a wide variety of genres. To keep things fresh I want these around because not only are they great but they are very eclectic and unpredictable, even though I've heard all three dozens of times.

Chillin' Out:

Nujabes - Metaphorical Music

Have to get some hip-hop in there, and this doubles as one of the most relaxing albums ever produced in my opinion. Great for meditation or whatever I might start doing on this hypothetical desert island. It's got some jazzy elements in there too which helps increase the number of instruments I get to hear.

Yay Girls:

Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas

Big Thief - U.F.O.F.

Gotta get some female vocalists in here and these two have the most beautiful voices out there. I initially thought I'd only want one of these two albums but I think I need both.

I'm stuck on a desert island therefore I am angry:

Megadeth - Rust in Peace

Finally I need some hard-hitting aggression so I'll go with my favorite album from my favorite metal band. There were some other strong competitors but I think this is the one I want to replay the most, therefore it wins.

I do keep them on an external HD. But my 5 tb external HD is running low.

You did not read the OP did you? Shocking.
