从后盖的概要
1978年，Greil Marcus在岩石上询问二十个其他作家 - 包括Dave Marsh，Lester Bangs，Nick Tosches，Ellen Willis，Simon Frith和Robert Christgau - 一个问题：你会去荒岛的一个摇滚相册吗？由此产生的散文被搁置，二十个热情的声明，适当地肯定了岩石聆听已成为的孤独和痴迷的活动。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’s Trout 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 invaluably 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 roll book would you take to a desert island?
