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

I saw that tour in Boston! It didn’t lessen my view of them, but things were going so badly, that 1/2 way in, Gabriel offered everyone to go to the box office and get their $$ back. Almost no one did. The cocoon thing wouldn’t lift back up off of him for the costume change, then it collapsed on him. The rest of the show didn’t go much more smoothly. Good LP pick, though!

Oh, and just I spent another $30 on him. Looking forward to its arrival.

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!

 

How nice for you. 😁

The perennial: "I may be old, but at least I got to see all the cool bands."

I saw Led Zeppelin in a 400-seat tent! So there!

Two. Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On. Issac Hayes Shaft, and or Black Moses. Each were done in 1971. I’ve never recovered, as nothing else comes close. And I’m a jazz man.
