Three very important (musical) questions

Umm one discography? I guess I'll go with my default answer to who my favorite band is: Led Zeppelin. Except those albums I've heard so many times that they are basically engrained in my DNA so I don't listen to them much anymore.

Favorite album "The Wild Hunt" ... My 2nd favorite is "Highway 61 Revisited". So yeah, it would suck but I would give up "The Wild Hunt" for Bob Dylan's discography especially considering he has released like 60 albums including about 10 in my top 100. No problem. And it also works vice versa if I elected "Highway 61 Revisited" as my favorite at that moment, I'd exchange that album for The Tallest Man On Earth's shorter but impeccable discography. Those 2 dudes are pretty much the only completely indispensable musicians in my life.

Favourite album: Owen Pallett - Heartland
vs
Favourite discography: Talk Talk

I'll go with the discography. Heaps of variety from synthpop to post rock.

I think everyone forget about this is for DESERT ISLAND, I mean many album's themes are about human relationships, love, life and sometimes politic or religion. but desert island means there's no PEOPLE and it means no love, friendship or corrupted politic, social injustice. I'm just saying. we should consider this seriously, Ofcourse, music itself is great but we should admit that Pet Sounds sounds better when you fall in love And Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen does not much if you can't understand American culture. So well, I think my favourite albums won't touch as much as now if I listen it alone in no man's land. It says I'll rather take one of 20th century Classical composer's discography. just my opinion

My favourite album is either 36 Chambers or Clouds Taste Metallic, depending on which day it is. If were to choose a discography, it would be Wu-Tang's (inc. solo members, obviously), Miles Davis' or Bob Dylan's. So, for the purposes of this, I'm gonna say that if the choice is between Clouds Taste Metallic and Wu-Tang's discography (I'll even take out 36 Chambers just to be fair), I'd pick the discography. If the choice was between either album and Miles Davis' discography, again I'd pick the discography. If it were one of the albums versus Dylan's discography, I'd pick Dylan's discography, but if it were both albums versus Dylan's discography I'd plump for the two album. Both album versus Miles' discography is much closer, would probably have to go with Miles though.

Actually, I'd take The Fall's discography over everything.

Not sure which is my favourite album right now, but Yes - Close to the Edge is an evergreen masterpiece, so let's say that one. And I would of course sacrifice it for access to a discography, most likely Bob Dylan's.

When I asked these questions, I had some of my possible answers already in the back of my mind. Now, as I am going over my classical music CDs, I am debating whether it would be Beethoven's late string quartets - a magnificent set of late period string quartets often referred to as "the single most defining moment in classical music", or Mozart's complete works, which includes 100's of works with almost anything that classical music has to offer (in its own classical period time frame): symphonies, piano concertos, violin concertos, wind instruments concertos, piano sonatas, violin sonatas, operas, and it goes on and on and on.... A tough choice, but I would go with number 2: Mozart's complete works - you can listen to these endlessly for months. No words - just music as very well stated by SingingPeasant96.
