Welcome to a weekly segment called "Social Circle." It's OnMilwaukee.com's first article that's truly a group effort between readers, social networkers and the OnMilwaukee.com editors.
Every Monday, we ask a question via Facebook and Twitter and then post the responses from our Facebook "likers" and Twitter followers in the Thursday column. Well-known Milwaukee movers and shakers will contribute, too.
It's a cliched question, and yet, one that most music lovers like to ponder. Although we all have our flings with various bands and albums, a handful of them actually lead to meaningful life-long relationships.
The Social Circle chimed in with their "trapped on a desert island" records of choice this week, ranging from Tchaikovsky to Jeff Buckley to The Beatles. What is your choice? Use the Talkback feature to tell us what pleases your hearts and ears the most.
