Stranded

A new edition of this classic of rock journalism that first asked the question: What one album would you bring to a desert island, and why? 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.
