    Desert Island Discs

    "If you had to be stranded on a desert island, pick your top Desert Island Discs and tell us why for each one."

    The "why" is really the interesting part ... don't leave it out!

    Desert island with restricted eqipment ...
    Ravi Shankar with traditional indian music. It is like a switch and you come back refreshed. I could hear it every day. (On a desert island you must be creativ to survive.)
    Back home again the whole spectrum ...

    Thats odd - didn't work before - but - its a year later, and a different crowd

    and again, the WHY of each DID is the intrigue!

    One of mine would be Live at Leeds ...
    "'cause there ain't no cure for the Summertime Blues"

    I'm just a fan of Daltrey's whole shriek at world emotion of that song

    I was at a show at the Alexandria Roller Rink in the early 70s ... 3 bands:
    Grin, (local guitar hero Nils Lofgren's band in those day), America, and T-Rex.
    Grin was great, America - well, they were pop, but not bad ... and the final band ... T-rex started into a miserable version of Summertime Blues and I had to step outside until they finished that song...

    SANTANA : Abraxas....ITS ETHNIC , EXOTIC , ELECTRIC , EROTIC,, SOME REAL SOUL , THE BEST SANTANA EVER DID

    CCR: Willie and the Poor Boys....BEST OF THE "WHITE BOY BLACK MUSIC" , LIKE 2 ALBUMS IN ONE. THEY CAN TAKE "COVERS" AND MAKE IT SOUND LIKE THEIR OWN.

    WHO : Who's Next ? ...DALTRYS SCREAMING, THE WHOLETHING FLOWS, GREAT GUITAR

    LED ZELLELIN : 1st......ITS LIKE A GREATEST HITS ALBUM

    PHILLIP GLASS : Koyaanisqatsi......HYPNOTIC, FANTASTIC PIPE ORGAN TONES

    PINK FLOYD : Wish you were here...CONCEPT ALBUM THAT WORKS, THEIR BEST, IMHO
