The resulting essays were collected in Stranded, twenty passionate declarations that, appropriately, affirmed the solitary and obsessive activity that rock listening had become. Here are salutes, elegies, thank-you notes, and love letters to records such as the Rolling Stones' Beggars Banquet , the Ramones' Rocket to Russia, Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica, Something Else By the Kinks, and out-of-print classics by the Ronettes, Little Willie John, and Huey 'Piano' Smith; the whole is supplemented with Marcus's own invaluable annotated fifty-page discography, a \"Treasure Island\" of rock and roll. Stranded remains a classic of rock and roll literature, and perhaps the best possible answer to the question: What one rock and roll book would you take to a desert island?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737973555488,"sku":"NEW030681532X","price":24.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71vBVHFWGUL.jpg?v=1779579576","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/stranded-rock-and-roll-for-a-desert-island-030681532x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
