For no significant reason, I'd like to conduct a USENET poll (Upoll?
no, I poll... where was I). In short,
Which record would you take with you on a desert island?
This island is equipped with suitably solar powered audio equipment.
This is a single "unit", i.e. 33 rpm lp, cassette or CD. EPs and 45s
are OK, though I expect one would seek to maximize the amount of music.
Double and triple albums are OK if they were released *together* originally,
so something like "The collected works of the Rolling Stones" (available
on a small, hi-fi label) is not allowed. The unit also has to have been
commercially available at one point (out of print stuff is OK) so
a cassette that you made with your 15 favorite pieces by your 5 favorite
composers/performers is not allowed. Remember, this is a *SINGLE* unit,
that you would be willing to be marooned with for the rest of your life
with no TV, no SO or any other pleasurable items or creatures.
Please mail responses to me, I will post poll results around early March

Now please tell us WHY you would take Beethoven's String Quartet #16, Op. 131 to a desert Island as your only choice? (It IS a very fine piece, though. No argument from me there...) -- Berry Kercheval Zehntel Inc. (ihnp4!zehntel!zinfandel!berry) (415)932-6900

I would vote for maybe "HPSCHD" by John Cage and Lejaren Hiller, or maybe "The Photographer" by Philip Glass. Or "In A Glass House" by Gentle Giant. Tough choice.

I'd take Husker Du's "Zen Arcade," just to hear B. Mould scream "I will never forget you." He's got the feeling right. David @ if this is chapter 11, what's 12 like?

I think I would take my old Edison phonograph record. It is about half
an inch thick and must weigh over a pound. I could bring down game with it,
crack coconuts..
Oh, you say I can take a record player too.. Hmm that changes things.

This is a tough one if you own about 800 albums, hummmmm . . . I guess it would have to be ZZ-Top's "Deguelo"(sp?), cause it's the only one that has "Cheap Sunglasses" on it!! Mike ------

The album I would take with me onto a desert island
has got to be Led Zep's Physical Graffitti,the greatest
rock album ever made.john@sol1.UUCP (john) (03/13/85)
It would have to be CLOSE TO THE EDGE (YES)
[ Take what I say in a different way ]
[ and it's easy to say ]
[ that this is all confusion ]
