ABSOLUTELY!!! There is no better way to ask this ancient question of
the preferred piece than with the island question.  It goes directly to
the point and assumes (very important) same circumstances for all people
interested in answering it.  Additionally assumes that if you are taking
one piece (or say 5, 10) to this desert island, you will be listening
it for the rest of your life.

Let the island be in the south pacific.
