Who the hell do you choose?

Someone who a variety of genre styles? Someone with a huge discography? Someone who's been through different eras?

Perhaps classical?

Pink Floyd would be mine.

If it was one band for the rest of my life, I'd have to go with Third Day. I would need to listen to a Christian band.

George Strait would be next. He has such a large catalog of great songs.

I listen to mostly rock, but that would be too intense for me to only hear that all the time.

Tough call between Rush and Iron Maiden for me.

Think I would lean Maiden for higher energy and intensity over the decades.

It's gonna be Rush or Eric Johnson for me. Or Pink Floyd. Maybe Van Halen. I would consider The Beatles. Non-rock option would be Chopin.

King's X is also a strong possibility.

Green Day or Miles Davis. Queen would be a serious contender.

Dang…

Zeppelin?
Otis Redding?
Waylon Jennings?
Sinatra?
Keith Whitley?
Bob Marley?
Merle Haggard?
Bellamy Bros?
Gary Stewart?
Strait?
AC/DC?
Van Morrison?

Instead of one, how about those 12, in the spirit of being Ags?

One.

Why is this so hard in every thread like this.

OP asked for One to winnow it down to s singular point. That is the point and the fun of this.

Not two. Three or a damn laundry list.

ONE

Gotta have a massive catalog for sure. Ideally with a lot of variety and experimentation.

This is recency bias for sure, but I've been going through a Springsteen run and not only does he have a ton of albums, some of his recent ones are VERY good, and he has about 20 live albums and B-sides and demos and things like that.

If it can't compare with that, I'd probably have to pass.

Pearl Jam would also be good because you get hundreds of live albums.

The Beatles

Also would consider the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and Aerosmith.

However... if you are looking for shear quantity of music: Which bands and singers have released the most albums? | musicMagpie Blog
When the truth comes out, do not ask me how I knew.
Ask yourself why you did not.

If limited to listening to only one band/singer I imagine some type of Dystopian landscape where the world as we know it has ended and while scavenging for food or supplies I stumble across an ancient CD player with some battery power left but it only has one CD in it. In that scenario I would be in a lonely, melancholy mood and the sounds of James Taylor's 1976 Greatest Hits album would hit me just right.

A cover band covering 70's tunes.

Probably Emerald City.

For me it was a toss up between Pearl Jam and The Beatles.

Today my answer would be Pearl Jam.

Where is that show? I thought it was just Lucid Illusions and a Dave Matthews tribute Saturday. I am not a Matthews fan at all!

Think I'd have to go this way as well, just a huge diverse catalog. Also considered Queen and Foo Fighters.

Chicago - Original lineup, with Cetera as primary lead vocalist and Kath on guitar
Clapton - He just keeps reinventing himself, and plays a pretty decent guitar, as well
The Beatles - 'nuff said

Any of these would make me a happy camper, as I stumble into the next life
