<div>In 1978, Greil Marcus asked twenty writers on rock-including Dave Marsh, Lester Bangs, Nick Tosches, Ellen Willis, and Robert Christgau-a question: What one rock-and-roll album would you take to a desert island? The resulting essays were collected in <i>Stranded</i>, twenty passionate declarations to such albums as The Rolling Stones' <i>Beggars Banquet</i>, the Ramones' <i>Rocket to Russia</i>, <i>Something Else</i> by the Kinks, and more. Universally revered as the ur-text of rock journalism, <i>Stranded</i> is an indispensable classic.</div>
