most enduring jazz and rock recordings

[shugah]

Jan. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Here are more nominations for a list of the most enduring jazz and rock recordings, a list difficult to make without cluttering it up with Bob Dylan and Miles Davis albums.

The following have in common their consistency -- an absence of tracks you would object to hearing day after day should you be stuck in a bunker with the Memphis blues again ... or on a desert island.

They are in no particular order.

Paul Simon, ``Graceland''
Modern Jazz Quartet, ``Dedicated to Connie''
Stevie Wonder, ``Songs in the Key of Life''
Thelonious Monk, ``Solo Monk''
Bob Marley, ``Legend''

1. Graceland is one of my all time favorite albums

The only thing that kinda bugs me about it, is the overuse of drum machines, and i would have put the songs in a slightly different order. But still, its about as perfect as an album can be.

I don't think you can really count Legend, as its a greatest hits album...but just about all of bob marleys albums are classic and enduring.

2. i thought it was a good list

i tried to find his other nominees (this article states that these are "...more nominations for a list of the most enduring jazz and rock recordings...") but didn't turn anything else up.

i love graceland too, and remembered after reading this list that i haven't listened to it in quite a while. i think i'll dig it out.

legend, on the other hand, is a regular feature on my playlist.
