Desert Island Disc's

This question pops up in one form or another everywhere! I am just going to go with my gut and list a few albums that I think are essential and would be good to take with you if you just so happened to be on said island. I am going off the beaten path a little...

Jeff Beck Group: Truth 

- Excellent debut from the JBG. Rod Stewart when he actually sang! Ronnie Wood on bass! Come on! What is not to love? Led Zeppelin before Led Zeppelin. Jimmy Page took a lot of notes on this album.

Grateful Dead: American Beauty

- I could listen to 'Box of Rain' over & over again. 'Attics of My Life' has some of the best harmonies ever.

Vince Guaraldi Trio: A Charlie Brown Christmas

- Brings back so many memories. Great music for any time. Not just for the holidays.
