You, an island, ten records. (tracks, not albums)

What are they?

[edit: you have to come up with ten as yet unmentioned tracks, so if someone has already chosen your's, by all means agree with them, but that means you have to come up with a different track for your own choices]

I'm gonna go for variety here.

Foo Fighters - Everlong.
Symphony X - The Odyssey.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Sir Psycho Sexy.
VAST - Pretty When You Cry.
AFI - Clove Smoke Catharsis
Blind Guardian - And Then There Was Silence.
Nine Inch Nails - We're In This Together.
Death In Vegas - Scorpio Rising.
Smashing Pumpkins - Stand Inside Your Love. (just replaced Matthew Good Band)
Hooverphonic - Shake the Disease.

These do not reflect my favourite songs of all time, mind you.

If I were to write this list again in 2 minutes... it'd be completely different.

EDIT: Typo. Psycho.

Would I listen to them on headphones or a real system? Makes a big difference.
