If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over.............

Your " best ever " recording, which has likely been discussed ad nauseam, would you select, say, if given a choice of only one ( whatever the scenario would be; stranded on an island, locked up in isolation, all music gone, but this one ). As hard as this is, as there are so many to choose from, I have selected " A Tribute To Jack Johnson ", by the esteemed Miles Davis ( 1992 Columbia version ). I have selected this, specifically for the performances, as I do with all of my listening. The playing.....the musicianship.....the arrangement.....the story, set to music, by the esteemed M.D.. And, my system delivers the message, so I feel proud of my set up. What can I say ? I hope everyone well, and, ENJOY ! Always, MrD.

Some nice choices made...

As stated, very difficult to decide, and many  choices came to mind. These were chosen not only because they are loved, but they also are associated to experiences in my life that were extraordinary. Rather than outright cheat the OP's rule, my end run is to let chance decide. I'd take a single six-sided die, roll and accept the result.

1. Jethro Tull : Bursting Out

2. Beatles: White Album

3. Cocteau Twins: Blue Bell Knoll

4. Genesis: Seconds Out

5. Fishbone: Reality of my Surroundings

6. Altan: Harvest Storm

@fred60 +1 As a Prog guy an inclination would be to pick The Yes Album or DSOTM but the 'Lamb is just more of a total journey IMHO.  Decided this question in college.  Same answer today but loads more coming close.

+1 on "Quadrophenia" by The Who.   My all time favorite band and all time favorite album.  "Who's Next" would be a close second.
