Stranded : Rock and Roll for a Desert Island - Thryft

Desert Island fantasies through rock-and-roll's lens.

If you've ever daydreamed about being marooned with just one album to keep your spirits up, "Stranded" is like peering into the souls of those who defined rock journalism. You'll dive into a deep, passionate connection to music that's both personal and universal, as these writers bare their sonic souls and provide insight into not just the records they can't live without, but the very essence of rock and roll itself.

Description

In 1978, Greil Marcus asked twenty writers on rock-including Dave Marsh, Lester Bangs, Nick Tosches, Ellen Willis, and Robert Christgau-a question: What one rock-and-roll album would you take to a desert island? The resulting essays were collected in Stranded, twenty passionate declarations to such albums as The Rolling Stones’ Beggars Banquet, the Ramones’ Rocket to Russia, Something Else by the Kinks, and more. Universally revered as the ur-text of rock journalism, Stranded is an indispensable classic.
