The 5 albums that Rob Halford would take to a desert island Black Sabbath "Black Sabbath" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lVdMbUx1_k&pp=ygUbYmxhY2sgc2FiYmF0aCBibGFjayBzYWJiYXRo "My number one choices of albums… I would have to go with Black Sabbath, the original 'Black Sabbath' album that I think is the motivator for all great things in heavy metal," Rob Halford said. Jimi Hendrix "Electric Ladyland" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFfnlYbFEiE&pp=ygULdm9kb28gY2hpbGQ%3D "Some Jimi Hendrix — definitely a Jimi Hendrix album, because I'm a frustrated guitar player and I love what electric guitars can do. So 'Electric Ladyland' from Jimi Hendrix, most definitely," Rob Halford said. The Rolling Stones "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sf7x_sqUmKo&list=PLglUu7rOaMDvLniIzKSkkPnQgRaiUj5p_&index=1 "The Rolling Stones' 'Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!', I think from Madison Square Garden, a live record, which really shows the energy and power of that band. One of the greatest rock and roll bands that that ever lived. Let's bump up into more recent times," Rob Halford said. Slayer "Reign In Blood" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gy3BOmvLf2w&pp=ygUXU2xheWVyICJSZWlnbiBJbiBCbG9vZCI%3D "Let's go really fierce and aggressive with something from Slayer and really burn things off on the island; that palm tree's gonna fall over. And so I would go with 'Reign In Blood' by Slayer because of its fierceness, its relentless intensity," Rob Halford said. Any Tool album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_nQhGR0K8M&pp=ygUEdG9vbA%3D%3D "For number five, I'm gonna jump out a little bit into something a little bit more cerebral, if that's the right word to call Maynard's (James Keenan) band Tool. But Tool, for me, has always been a great adventure, because they go to some remarkable places and it really, really is great music to put your headphones on, which I have here on this island to get lost in some Tool," Rob Halford said.
