I do realize this lacks in originality, but I am always curious

[rakeeb]

about this:

The prototypical question: If you were stranded on a deserted isle with only one album (CD) and it can be a double album...well you know the rest.

It has become a point of interest to me because someone just pointed out to me that my choice has not changed between the ages of 13 and 37.

Cough up a few answers and I'll tell you my unchanging first choice, (assuming you care that much).

[Ptah]

1. I would make a device that would reform that CD into an antenna.

Then I would send an urgent S.O.S.

[Fenris]

2. Mine has not changed since I was 18.

[rakeeb]

3. louder than bombs..

a sound choice, timeless as the question implies, well played...

[yellowdogintexas]

4. The Complete Steely Dan Citizen Set. I am 58 btw and have

held this is my #1 road/travel music since I was about 30

a big double of Simon and Garfunkel would do nicely as well

[Nickster]

5. Physical Graffiti

[Bennyboy]

6. String Cheese Incident/Leftover Salmon 8-02-98!

From Chico CA. Both bands, playing together and apart. Hilarious Stairway to Gilligans island through Mayberry segment.....

[Guava Jelly]

7. ok

My album of the moment would Be ...Blond on blond.. Bob Dylan
Two years ago... American idiot.. Green day
Six years ago ... Sublime..Sublime
8 years ago...A man alone..Frank Sinatra
12 years ago...Queens greatest hits
16 years ago..Peter Frampton comes alive
20 years ago ..Anthrax.. Among the living
24 years ago...Abbey Road..the Beatles
30 years ago...Probably something Disco

8. interesting evolution on that list...

Frampton and Queen more recent than Anthrax.

Even though I grew up on Social D and Bad Religion, the one album that I could listen to over and over from 1983 til now is The Wall.

[Zornhau]

12. Another vote for The Wall here too

:D

[rakeeb]

13. don't feel ashamed, younger or older

as an album it holds it own with its peers, for a quarter century i have deferred to it as "the" album to define lead lindes, melodies, harmonies, even to teach music theory to my nephew.\

[Mr. Blonde]

9. At the moment

Blood on the Tracks by Bob Dylan

[Arugula Latte]

10. "Goodbye Jumbo" by World Party.

[bicentennial_baby]
