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

Why do people insist on posing these kinds of absurd questions all the time?

I like these kind of questions because if someone connects with an album this much I want to check it out as I might love it too.  Feel free just not to answer.

"just ONE".....simply  impossible!  ...but as mahgister, would be inclined to perhaps a Bach album: Bminor Mass? St. Matthew Passion(Herreweghe coducting)... or an album with Beethoven's  late String Quartets (Brentano Quartet has a beautiful rendition of Op. 132)

The question of the Op is like asking to someone to read only one book for the rest of his life ...

Who will take a romance Harlequin book , or even a classic novel ?

Even Doistoievski could not be up to the task ...And i admired Dostoievsky over most classical writers ...He know what is the soul ... Read the "dream of a ridiculous man" ...Nothing so deep has ever been written before ...It is a short novel by the way ...

The bible or a number theory book are my only choices ...Or the Yi-King ... Guess why ?

We need books to meditate not a linear story; we need music to meditate not simplistic melodies on repeat ...😁

The OP did not ask what is your taste , the OP ask what will resist forever to repeated listenings and which you like for sure ...

People dont get it i think ...

I will check the Brentano version ... Mine is Talich ...😊.. I own it but never listened to it because i love Talich ...I had many music i never listened , life is short ... I spend more on books and music than on a audio stereo system by the way ... The opposite of many people...
