Obviously the music wins here. Wanted to make a point related to another thread. This is not an argument against cover art or booklets! They have an important role, both for marketing the music and as part of the general artistic package (for many artists). But when push comes to shove and you had to choose, of course cover art and booklet aren't worth much without the music. They can still be magnificent works of art in their own right, but they're usually not why you purchased the release.

I wonder if there has ever been a two-choice poll in which one of the choices received no votes at all. This could very well be such a poll... The music (of course).
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Well a satellite internet connection with all my music on the cloud. If it's a week's journey i can live without music. If i'm stuck there for life then that's my plan. There are no limitations these days. If i moved to the island you'd better believe my entire physical collection would relocate with me :)

Hypothetical scenario: You're put on an island, and you can only take with you your favorite (prog) album. But you need to choose between the music (let's say it's a solar powered hifi system, and the music is on some digital medium like a memory chip/stick) and the cover art and booklet, and maybe the vinyl/CD (but you don't have a player for those).

What would it be?
