Most everyone has to have something to survive. For many, the ‘gotta have’ is their smart phone, coffee, or the internet. In the world of music, imagine being sent away on a desert island with nothing but your favorite albums. Which albums would they be? Here’s part one of our ‘Top Desert Island Gotta Haves.’
“Born to Ron” by Bruce Springsteen is the essential Boss album that has more hits on it than a baseball game – “Thunder Road,” “Born to Run,” and “10th Avenue Freeze Out” are gold.
“Back in Black” by AC/DC is the bestselling and most respected musical effort from the hardest working band from down under.
“The White Album” by the Beatles is that rare middle ground that all Beatles fans can agree on.
“Who’s Next” by the Who is the statement that the rock n’ roll community needed to make, and the Who brought truth to power.
“Van Halen” by Van Halen is just a hook-fest of the best 80s band that made us proud to be American.
