Great track from my favorite White Willow record.....I honestly don't think they ever did a better lp after that first one....though I do like all of the later ones.

I absolutely agree with this and WOULD pick them myself. But, 62 albums(and most of it high quality).. Plus I'd probably get access to all the postumous stuff too like Trance Fusion, putting the album total at well over 70. That's too much music to pass up lol. The Beatles were awesome, just didn't make enough music.

For song, even though I'm not a huge fan of them(like them just not a massive fan), I'm going to cheat a little and go with Thick as a Brick.

1) Nearly impossible.  Surely any song chosen would eventually become tiresome.  Could I possibly do that to something I love?  Dozens and dozens of possibilities, so at random: Godflesh "Flowers".  I'd squirrel it away on a high shelf, only to be listened too when I needed that kick of energy, drive and inspiration this song delivers.

2) Same risks as above, though not nearly as acute.  Rush and Floyd are possibilities.  Nurse With Wound a very likely choice.  But I couldn't imagine passing over either Darren Tate or Autechre, and pushed into a corner it would have to be Autechre.  May I never tire of "19 Headaches" or "Acroyear 2".......

"The Killing Moon" by Echo & The Bunnymen

The 2nd question is tougher for me. It could be Genesis, Opeth...but I'll go with Nick Drake

If beholden to a single song, I would only play the track on special occasions. Echolyn’s “Mei” would make a lovely birthday present.

Kept to one artist, I’d plan on playing an album of theirs each weekend. Genesis isn’t my favorite, but they’d do well to keep me company.

When Da Zeuhl Wortz Mekanik, you just know.

Like these choices. I've been listening to "Marbles" and, although it doesn't have Fish it's actually really good. Obviously their first four albums are great. I like the choice of Marillion for band.

And you could do a whole lot worse for a single song than Close to the Edge.
