So you're marooned on a desert island--- which three albums would you choose.....of course, you have unlimited power and a super TT and someone nice to share it with. 
(Thanks to John9 for getting this so often asked question back in my head and now here!)
Forever Changes
Blonde On Blonde
Music From Big Pink  ....Got my shades! Fire up the TT.
I'll change my mind tomorrow, but if it happened today, I would be happy.

Nice, bob, we think alike. I couldn't make up my mind between "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver" so I went with "Big Pink", if you can call that a compromise. You kind of got this started too, bob, with your "Ladies Of The Canyon" post. Thanks to you too. I wanted Laura Nyro in there too but, well, three is three!

Let's assume for the moment that Forever Changes is already on the island. My three then would be:
Blue
The Notorious Byrd Brothers
Rubber Soul |

Whoa...a Forever Changes Island......of course!! "Notorious..." is tops for me too, guys!!!
......but just to add something new, today I'd add......
"Electric Ladyland" ...........for my trippy dayz or those bright starry nights when there are more stars in the sky than seems possible.
Someone pick "SF Sorrow" for me please. You know if we all get marooned on the same island we'd have a pretty nice collection by the time we're done!!

like in a Twilight Zone episode we would have our wish of all those great albums on the Island....with no turntable!
we'd have to make some kind of Flintstones device of a big old sea-shell speaker and some seagulls running on a treadmill for power!

man this is tough!....what do you pick on? the songs? the feelings the songs engender? the times they connote????..
Anyway so with Fc...
The red album..Beatles..the "hits"...keeps you reelin' and a rockin'
For some variaton..handel's concertos..I've always thought he was a rocker's classical composer...
And the Byrds tunes..mr. Tambourine Man, Turn Turn Turn , Goin' back! and My Back Pages..but I'll have to cheat a bit..I'll probably sneak on some Irish ceili stuff.....for the parties..... |

| Since you guys went to Blonde on Blonde, I thought I'd revisit it since I haven't heard some of the tunes in a while...well...all I can say is that Dylan hit the heights there...I was just struck listening to "Sad Eyed Lady"... great choice...then from there I went to Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts! |

OH NO! i have the only copy of Beach Boys' "Smile" that Brian Wilson secretly pressed on vinyle. and the secret Johnny Echols Project recorded after F.C. in 1967 with Arthur Lee and Bryan Maclean, and the mythical lost Beatles album recorded at Abbey Road , 1967, after Peppers, and before Mystery Tour, for which Lennon said, "these songs are too good to be released. Man.... we made just one copy, and it's our best music , ever! it's pure magic!" they were on vynle then after i made the sea-shell turntable (a 2 year job!), they turned into CDs! SIHT!!!

well, since he was fixated on his Wilson basketball, Hanks coulda sang some Brian Wilson, Jackie Wilson, (Blind Owl) Alan Wilson main song writer of our L.A. brewed Canned Heat! "goin to the country, got to get away!"

Listening to "Exile On Main Street"....I told ya I'd change my mind daily. Stones don't get any better than this!!!
Speaking of Hanks...remember Joe & The Volcano? OK, we all get a steamer trunk like Hanks used for a raft. Of course ours has a better load of...LPs, TT & solar battery..... & plenty of Perrier!!
