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
Wow, only one of you chose dead guys from a coupla/three of centuries ago, and the rest have chosen LP's featuring more "recently" dead people. I'm comforted that no one chose an opera. I just got here. I wouldn't want to have to get confrontational so soon. The White Album is a two-fer title, and, like johnto wrote, it's almost a rock and roll compendium. If It can't be a dbl LP, then definitely, Vincebus Eruptum. |
@retiredfarmer freaking hilarious ! Styx - Come Sail Away - the 45 on repeat….. Hopefully Sol Gabetta - Prayer is on the “ B” side……. |
