If during isolation you could only listen to one artist/band’s full catalogue. on 11:23 - Apr 13 by eireblue
Well, that’s an easy one.
The purple yoda from Minnesota.
Edit: on reflection, that isn’t much different from, non isolation times.

This was my pick, and what made me think of asking... I’d never been a complete mad fan of his, but liked a few... but have a few times now just played Prince on a random streamed play while working at home, given how varied and wide his music was - there’s a massive amount I’d not discovered before! So talented and such a shame he’s no longer adding to his works. RIP.
Ginger Wildheart. The man puts out at least one(if not two) full albums of material a year and it ranges from acoustic country-folk songs to full-on death metal. And there's nearly 30 years worth of it as well.

I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.

You've nicked what I was going to say. Just to be different, and in the Desert Island Discs tradition of giving to time to something you have never properly got around to, I am going to plump for Jean Sibelius.
Every single work in every recorded format by every orchestra, solo performer and all points in between.
Well if we're allowed to go down the classical route, it absolutely has to be JS Bach for me - he's always been my "if you were only allowed one record" #1 (probably Brandenburg Concerto no. 4).
Am right now listening to his Mass in B minor on R3 - glorious. When I go, I want to float up (or down) to that.
3-4 years ago I would have comfortably said The National, but I’ve really struggled with their last two. So I’ll probably go with Mogwai, would be at least the 3rd/4th week before their back catalogue shuffled back to the start again and I’m going through a real post-rock phase at the moment.

The variety, the virtuosity, the intelligence, the integrity. Defied all attempts at compartmentalisation. Andy Partridge, the greatest musical genius who somehow never attained world stardom.

Might have to skip some of the Blaze Bayley tracks form the two albums that he fronted the band for. Not because he is a bad singer, but I don't think his voice quite fits Maiden.

I posted a right worthy reply here that got lost in the shietty virus signal scenario - |I love Cinerama and the Wedding Present. David Gedge speaks for me.

I'm not a big enough fan of any band or particular music type to make an absolute decision.
If forced on the point I would have to choose Fields of the Nephilim simply because of their beautiful sound.
McCoy's voice has grown on me over the years but I could see why he wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea. I used to love their music but wished I could delete him at times. Now I like both.

Their music however, never gets dull.

The Neph were pretty close to being my selection - I only went for Mogwai because they have a far bigger back catalogue.
But if the question had been if you could only choose one isolation album then it would have been Elizium by a mile.

Well it needs to be a big back catalogue so possibly the BPO with over 3,000 albums or Golden Gate Quartet who've been performing since the 1930s though a lot of their stuff is too gospelly for my taste.
Lead Belly and Muddy Waters would come under consideration but would probably settle for Rolling Stones or Bob Dylan.
Edit: ...or maybe Eric Clapton or John Mayall or Creedence Clearwater Revival or B B King or Fairport Convention etc etc
