If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over.............


Your " best ever " recording, which has likely been discussed ad nauseam, would you select, say, if given a choice of only one ( whatever the scenario would be; stranded on an island, locked up in isolation, all music gone, but this one ). As hard as this is, as there are so many to choose from, I have selected " A Tribute To Jack Johnson ", by the esteemed Miles Davis ( 1992 Columbia version ). I have selected this, specifically for the performances, as I do with all of my listening. The playing.....the musicianship.....the arrangement.....the story, set to music, by the esteemed M.D.. And, my system delivers the message, so I feel proud of my set up. What can I say ? I hope everyone well, and, ENJOY ! Always, MrD.

This is l almost impossible to answer. I’d like to see if all our choices are the same a year from now. For some, probably. For many I don’t think so. Any takers on this?

My albums right now are either the Moody Blues Days of Future Past, or Steely Dan Can’t Buy a Thrill…..merry Christmas.

Impossible task.  I guess Rumors or one of the Beatles albums, but CNSY is very listenable as well.  No one is mentioning more current music for this generation; I would guess TS would be on their lists,

Better would be picking 12-14 individual songs to make one "album" of favs that would be more listenable over time.  I would have one side of rockers and one side of slower tunes.  That way, you could mix jazz, rock, classical, etc.

Cheers!

Allman Brothers Live At The Fillmore being a close second.
