"If you don't know the records celebrated here, you'll want to," declares the introduction to Marooned, a compilation of personal essays-cum-ultimate-CD-reviews. Chances are you're already familiar with most of the seminal albums praised here. But from Motorhead's No Remorse to Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, you'll enjoy rediscovering classics through 20 music critics who describe their personal relationship to an album and why they choose it as sole accompaniment on a deserted island.
