Rock Island - Chapter Twelve

Tired of the games, you decide to go for a walk. You soon discover a pussycat swallowtail butterfly, one of the rarest in the world. As you excitedly follow the butterfly, you stumble across a thermal vent. You forget the butterfly and run back to tell Roy about your discovery. Soon everyone is taking hot baths and showers, and Roy even manages to create a hot tub using spare parts from the boat and space capsule.

Everyone appreciates your discovery. Ann Marie is especially happy. One night while enjoying a soak in the tub, she asks about the rest of your music. You finish the list:

You're alone with Ann Marie. She catches you staring at her. And then you hear Roy calling for you. "I guess I need to go," you say.

Top Ten (+ 15) - Albums by British Bands

Almost 1/3 of the albums I've rated are by British bands. Because of that (the total is 611, by the way), I'm going to post my top 25 British albums. There are only 13 different bands listed here, a result of a few bands being listed more than once. Black Sabbath leads everyone with four albums, Iron Maiden, Deep Purple and Gillan are next with three each, and Saxon, Sweet and Uriah Heep all have two albums in the Top 25. Also interesting is that most albums were recorded in the 70s and 80s, while only 4 were recorded in 1990 or later.

Top 25 Albums:
98.14 -- Deep Purple - In Rock (1970)
