I love the Stones and have quite a considerable catalog of their music. It's a tossup between Wild Horses, She's a Rainbow, and 19th Nervous Breakdown for me. If I could take only one Stones disc on a desert island, it would probably be Hot Rocks 64-71. I've also got quite the soft spot for Some Girls and Tattoo You.
But, it always has been and always will be The Beatles for me. As a group, as solo artists, as guest performers, it doesn't matter. Their music touched me as a child and I still listen (and collect!) to this day. Beatles music has been and remains the soundtrack of my life. If I could only have one album to listen to for the rest of my entire life, it would be Revolver.
FYI for Beatle fans--Abbey Road on the River will be in my hometown in May!

Cheap Trick, David Bowie, Genesis and Pink Floyd are also high on my 'Desert Island music' list!
