And if "they" left you with your system and just three albuns for the rest of your life?
Which ones would you choose?
(Best offs and collectios not allowed)
Here's my choices:
— "Travels" Pat Metheny
— "The K&D Sessions" Kruder & Dorfmeister
— "Rapture" (or other) Anita Baker
Art Pepper/Art Pepper Quintet - 'Smack Up'
Coleman Hawkins - 'The Hawk Relaxes'
Gerry Mulligan & Paul Desmond - 'Two of a Mind'
Lee Ritenour "Rio" 1970
Cecilia Bartoli & Bryn Terfel "Duets" 1999
Melody Gardot "The Absence" 2012
I think...
1. U2 - Under a blood red sky.
2. Tina Turner - Live in Europe
3. Michael Kiwanuka - Love and Hate
I could live with just #1.
My choice:
1. Frank Zappa - Roxy & Elsewhere
2. Rod Stewart - Unplugged .... And Seated
3. Pink Floyd - Ummagumma (2011 Remastered Version)
..and hundreds more !!
1 Pat Metheny, Bright Size Life
2 JS Bach, S Richter The Well Tempered Clavier
3 Steve Lukather, All Is Well That Ends Well
I would certainly hide in my suitcase some Schubert and Beethoven by Andras Schiff, Giant Steps and A Love Supreme by Coltrane, Shostakovich 10th Symphony by Mariss Jansons, and Photo Finish by Rory Gallagher. A Qobuz subscription would be mandatory as well...
AC/DC: Back in Black. Amazing effort by a band that had just lost its singer. I’m still amazed at the riffs the Young brothers came up with.
Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon. Awesome album for listening in the dark with headphones on.
Alice in Chains: Dirt. Grunge at its best. Personal, powerful, complicated musically. but it works, quite well.
I would pick any random 3 albums, play them a couple of times, and throw them on the bin.
I would then turn the system into a heating device, and sit and enjoy listening to silence and nature.
pfff,
this is an impossible question - for me - as I keep listening to new music while my taste involves. I very rarely listen to my "system" with "same" albums, except when I need to test something (of course)
