Entre_Perpetuo Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 Gun to your head, you have to choose to only listen to either your favorite album by your favorite artist or all of their other albums but not your favorite for the rest of your life. This is not excluding you from listening to other artists entire discographies. Would you keep your favorite and chuck the catalogue, or keep the rest of the catalogue and say goodbye to your favorite?
bluefox4000 Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 If all i had to listen to was The Royal Scam by Steely Dan (they are now at the top of my heap) i'd be more than good honestly. Mick 4
laughedatbytime Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) well it was gun to head so...Well, if that's the choice, gun to head w accompanying shot is the clear choice over a life with repetitive listens to "The Royal Scam" by Steely Dan. Ditch the favorite over ditch the rest is the clear choice in the actual poll though. Edited August 29, 2020 by laughedatbytime 2

IbanezJem Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 I don`t need to have a copy of VH`s Fair Warning to listen to it from Mean Street thru One Foot Out The Door, and I could easily spend 31 minutes doing just that in my head. I know the cover and everything perfectly too, so yeah, I could ditch it and then I`d have everything I don`t comprehensively know as well too. 2

Nova Carmina Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 Rush has so many great albums, if AFTK went away, eventually I'd forget how awesome "Xanadu" was . . . I'd still rather have I, III, IV, TSRTS, and Presence than PG, but it'd hurt. If I lost Animals, I'd still have ObC, Meddle, WYWH, usw. No Somewhere in Time? Eh, that might actually be hard. Lose Master of Puppets, still have the rest Foxtrot vs. the Field? Yikes; that, too, might be tough. I would probably take Aqualung over the rest . . . maybe? I'm trying to think if any of my "favorite" bands are sort of one-album wonders, and I don't think so. 2
Lorraine Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 What if you have no favorite and love all the albums equally? 3
tangy Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 If all i had to listen to was The Royal Scam by Steely Dan (they are now at the top of my heap) i'd be more than good honestly. Mick Such a great record. it has it all. 3
tangy Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 I would give up hemispheres for the rest of their discs leading up to hemispheres. to include what came after hemispheres would be the icing on the cake.... 2

JohnnyBlaze Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 Good thing that Rush has other perfect '10' albums besides Moving Pictures. Tom & the gang are getting the boot fairly easily.
custom55 Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 I'd ditch Sticky Fingers and keep the rest. More than enough to keep me happy.
driventotheedge Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 Pretty easy if you're favorite has a large catalog of good albums i.e Rush, Zep, Sabbath, Floyd et.al. Drop your favorite and you're still listening to a bunch of good shit with plenty of variety. 1
Cyclonus X-1 Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 Interesting question. Rush and Tool are my favorite bands, and I would choose the second option for Rush and the first for Tool. 1
apetersvt Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 Blind Faith, Derek And The Dominos, Boston, Guns n Roses, Hendrix (possibly) would be the bands that I listen to to which I would chose the favorite album as to opposed to the remainder of the catalogue. Should be an easy decision for most. I love Caress Of Steel but no chance I would chose that over every other album. Plus I can always pick up my guitar and play most of it anyway if need be. This would be very easy for Moving Pictures fans as you could always listen to the Time Machine CD instead 1

Lorraine Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 Now I'm in a Dan mood. Must go listen to them ... 1

I assumed for the sake of the exercise that there wouldn't be any live albums or greatest hits, etc. If that were the case, then yeah, I'm taking "the rest" every time. 2

With that restriction it is much more difficult .... not sure that i could do without A Farewell To Kings in that scenario!!

Correct (D&D do have a live album though). Thats why it would be tough
