Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One.

If you somehow got stuck in a situation (lol) and had to spend the rest of your life completely by yourself, all alone, on a desert island ... and, as part of your situation you only got to choose one album to spend the entire rest of your life with.

Let’s say, some weird circumstance, and you also had at your complete disposal the system of your dreams, that you had assembled thru the years. And thank goodness you were a prepper and you thought ahead to install a solar power system, so power would never be a problem either.

Kind of like Tom Hanks on that island, except instead of a just a soccer ball, you had your dream stereo setup and one album only.

One album and that’s it. Got to pick one. Not necesssarily your all time favorite album, just one you could live with for the rest of your life.

Is there any album that just completely does it for ya, on that level?

I’ll kick things off by sharing mine: Steely Dan, Aja

Bach ,variations Goldberg ... for strings trio version Sitkovetsky

Bach, art of the fugue .. Neville Marriner version

What else?

We cannot listen to something without a deep complex content this amount of time ... Few pop tunes will make us becoming mas everyday ...

Then taste is not enough ... There is much more other music i loved too but nothing compared to these 2 pieces in deep inextinguishable meanings ...

The other possibility are all Beethoven quartets ...Talich version ...

Nothing simplistic melodically or rythmically and harmonically ...

All Scriabin pianos will do too ...😊

CCR- "Green River". I still play it often after all these years.

Pete Namlook/Tetsu Inoue "Shades of Orion". That CD set can be played for LONG-LONG time.

It has all of it in abstract minimalism.

Hard to pick one, of course, but while I have eclectic tastes, I grew up listening to soul and funk, and would likely never tire of Tower of Power's Back to Oakland
