Those rare musical treasures that require no song-to-song cherry picking, no fast forwarding (for those 35-plus who know what that is...), no selective exclusion from playlists. They are their OWN playlists...each a greatest hits package of brand new material, still fresh even decades on from their release. You know...desert island albums.
In the case of 1/48/50, whole urban areas, entire counties, fully one half of any state even, may be traversed on the power of a single inspired album playing all the way through. So good, in fact, they require no two cents thrown in by the likes of me. Just listen. ;-)  |

"The Rutles" by The Rutles
Conceived by Monty Python collaborator Neil Innes and Python's own Eric Idle, "The Rutles: All You Need is Cash" was a pretty brilliant 1978 "mockumentary" about the pre-Fab Four, Dirk, Stig, Nasty and Barry. The soundtrack, music written by Innes, digs even deeper into that brilliance. Fantastic parody. And honestly, 40 years on, each song still could stand on its own, be considered derivative (in a good way) rather than parody.
