Not only is 1967-1970 (Blue Album) my “Desert Island” album, it’s my “Destruction of Planet Earth” album – if the planet was facing imminent destruction and we could only save one cultural artifact to demonstrate to any alien visitors who might someday be poking through the wreckage of our planet that human existence had not been completely in vain, the Blue Album would be my choice hands down. Pink Floyd’s Pulse is not my #1 “Desert Island” Album – that would be The Beatles’ 1967-1970 (Blue Album) (which, oddly enough, isn’t even on my 400GB Micro SD card with almost 250 albums in 24 bit audio).

We music lovers really are quite spoiled in 2020.īut let’s set that all aside and play the hypothetical “Desert Island” album game. I mean, these days I carry my FLAC player in my pocket everywhere I go with a 400GB Micro SD card with almost 250 albums in 24 bit audio – if I can have an album on a desert island, why can’t I have my FLAC player? It’s even smaller than an lp, fits in my pocket, and doesn’t require a magical record player.

Back in the day, music aficionados loved to talk about which album they would pick if they were stranded on a desert island and could only pick one album to have with them (along with some kind of magical record player that doesn’t run on electricity I guess). Does the concept of a “Desert Island” album even make sense anymore in 2020? (Of course, in 2020 there are a ton of things that don’t make sense anymore).
