Overview
In 1978, Greil Marcus asked twenty other writers on rock-including Dave Marsh, Lester Bangs, Nick Tosches, Ellen Willis, Simon Frith, and Robert Christgau-a question: What one rock and roll album would you take to a desert island? The resulting essays were collected inStranded, twenty passionate declarations that, appropriately, affirmed the solitary and obsessive activity that rock listening had become. Here are salutes, elegies, thank-you notes, and love letters to records such as the Rolling Stones'Beggars Banquet , the Ramones'Rocket to Russia, Captain Beefheart'sTrout Mask Replica, Something Else By the Kinks, and out-of-print classics by the Ronettes, Little Willie John, and Huey 'Piano' Smith; the whole is supplemented with Marcus's own invaluable annotated fifty-page discography, a 'Treasure Island' of rock and roll.Stranded remains a classic of rock and roll literature, and perhaps the best possible answer to the question: What one rock and rollbook would you take to a desert island?
