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

Mine would be: Genesis The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.

1- Has to be a double album, more music!  2- It probably helps that I saw Genesis perform the album at the NY Academy of Music on Dec. 7th in 1974 (on Broadway!), in the 11th row (what a coincidence, exactly 49 years ago), an incredible show, one of the best!  btw I know the date and seat because I actually kept a log of all the shows I attended back in the 70's.

Damn that's a shame!  The show that I saw went smoothly, they were fantastic.  They did the entire album, then a couple of encores, the last being The Knife.  An incredible show!
