    I provided all kinds of reason most of which wasn't even mine. It's not either of those things but if that helps you put the discussion to bed roll with it.

        I suppose no compilations, concerts or greatest hits should be allowed to make the choice more difficult or carefully thought out.

        First record that comes to mind for me is Dark Side (I prefer Animals but is it long enough?), but Rubber Soul would be under consideration as would Bizet's Carmen with Leontnye Price, Mozart's Le Nozze di Figar with Kiri Te Kanawa & Samuel Ramey, after that I'd have to dig through everything I've got. Not a lot qualifies for, "only this for the rest of my life".

        Maybe Quadraphenia? Joshua Tree? Miles Davis' Kind of Blue? For "easy listening" perhaps something from Zero 7, The Samples, Air or Morcheeba. Hmph.

          Wouldn't they be a similar length as they were both 2 sides (vinyl)?

          Wouldn't be a Floyd album for me, but if it was, Meddle would be in the running although like you, Animals is my favorite.

          This for the rest of your life and favorite may not be the same thing though.

                Purely on instinct:

                Animals, Pink Floyd
                Los Angeles, X
                Entertainment, The Gang of Four
                Give Em Enough Rope, The Clash
                Goo, Sonic Youth
                Fear of Music, Talking Heads
                Beggars' Banquet, The Rolling Stones
                Permanent Waves, Rush
                Fear of a Black Planet, Public Enemy
                One Nation Under a Groove, Parliament-Funkadelic

                I would also like to have Kim Gordon, Clare Grogan, Chrissy Hynde, Carrie Brownstein, and Amanda Palmer each at 33 shipwrecked with me if it's not too much trouble.

                And David Bowie at 40.

                And I would like Richard Butler's voice at 27. And Bo Jackson's body at 22.

                  Off the top of my head, no greatest hits/etc:

                  LL Cool J "Radio"
                  Pink Floyd "Dark Side Of The Moon" (although I love me some Animals)
                  Ramones (self-titled)
                  AC/DC "Back In Black"
                  Metallica "And Justice For All"
                  The Cure "Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me"
                  Hank Williams III "Straight To Hell"
                  Grateful Dead "American Beauty"
                  Pearl Jam "Yield"
                  Led Zeppelin (Zoso, IV, whatever you refer to it as)
                  Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                          The Beatles - White Album
                          Chris Stapleton - Traveller
                          Eric Church - Mr. Misunderstood
                          Norah Jones - The Fall
                          Rilo Kiley - Execution of all Things
                          Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
                          Taylor Swift - 1989
                          Tedeschi Trucks - Revelator (if only to get Midnight in Harlem)
                          The Who - Tommy
                          Zwan - Mary Star of the Sea

                          I'll be honest though, I don't really care for albums as a whole. I'm fairly picky when it comes to music. There are tons of great albums that I only can one song that I like.

                          This list would be drastically different if you ask me next year or even next month. They might not be my favorite albums of all time but each represents a time in my life and often a significant stretch or some event. Since I'm extremely nostalgic I tend to stick with things from my past.

                            Yeah, Signals came out not long after my family moved to Brookfield from Chicago and the lyrics of Subdivisions, The Analog Kid, The Weapon et al really hit home. And it sounded (to me) sprawling and dreamy to my ears. I still love it.

                            You're right, the old diehards had trouble digesting this one.

                                I actually was more impressed with Ava Adore, which I think is really underrated. Mellon Cholly (sp?) was great, but a tad bloated, even for a double album.

                                I agree that MANY MANY songs are specifically tied to a certain memory, or period in my life, and they always will be. Oftentimes, I can name the specific moment that the song became important to me, good or bad.
