Just been rooting around some old music and listening to some classics...

What would be your 8 pieces of music... 1 piece of Literature (not bible!)... and 1 luxury (no survival value)?

Desert Island Discs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

___________

Music:

Tom Waits - Small change
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Jimi Hendrix - Are you experienced
Beastie Boys - Check Your Head
Kid Koala - Some of my best friends are DJ's
Metallica - Master of puppets
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Radiohead - Ok Computer

Luxury:

Surfboard

Book:

How to cure insomnia! :LOL:
 
Nice to see you GJ, thought you'd got that pink slip after all!

Music was hard and I went for a nice cross the board mix depending on my mood but could have been many more. Bit of an eighties man then.....?!
 
Music:
Muse - Origin of Symmetry
Bush - Sixteen Stone
Live - Throwing Copper
Moby - Play
Edit >> Gorki (yes, Flemish Music!)
...

Book:
Le petit prince - Saint-Antoine d'Exupéry

Luxury:
a digital photocamera

Pet Sounds - Beach Boys
Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band - Beatles
Sticky Fingers - Rolling Stones
Bridge over troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel
Back in Black - AC/DC
Elvis: 30 No 1 Hits - Elvis
Abba Gold - Abba
Achtung Baby - U2

Lots missing, really kinda hard to do, but that would see me through a dry spell on an island.

Literature:

THE SECRET - to eventually get me off the island again.

Luxury:

Girl Friday.

:D
 
Couldn't believe they actually managed to come out with a new album 35 years dwon the road haha.

Quite amazing !!!
 
Music:

Don't like regular albums that much as u tend to get 50-60% good songs, 40-50% dross. I prefer greatest hits or my own compilations.

An mp3 mix from -

take that, nsync, backstreet boys, east 17, westlife, boyzone, spice girls & girls aloud would be just about perfik!

Luxury:
A sexy lassie

Book:
Charting Made Easy - by John Murphy

Yes but i wouldn't be listening to it would I:!::idea::!:

This audio collection would simply be for scaring away predators, creepy crawly, lizards, and snakes.

Me & the sexy lassie would be making the only sweet music needed

:idea:

Interesting mix... Robert Miles and Pavarotti!

Afraid that your laptop isn't going to last long on a desert island and not sure the wireless will pick up much either!
 
My choice for today

Music

(1) Anything sung by Thierry Amiel – newest title is

YouTube - Coeur Sacré,Thierry Amiel



but my favourite is Les Mots bleus

YouTube - Thierry Amiel - Les Mots bleus et Je regarde là haut

(2) Most of the stuff by Pascal Obispo e.g Nouveau forest

Pascal Obispo - Les fleurs de forest



(3) Verdi – Nabucco – Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves

YouTube - Verdi - Nabucco - Chorus of Hebrew Slaves

(4) Handel – Zadok the Priest

YouTube - Zadok the Priest

(5) Big Spender

YouTube - Big Spender

(6) Cheesy I know, but I did it my way

YouTube - Elvis Presley Live - My Way

(7) Amy Winehouse – You know I’m no good

YouTube - Amy Winehouse -You Know I'm No Good

(8) Craig David – Seven Days ( I know Grey1 will appreciate this one !)

YouTube - Seven Days craig david

Literature would be works by John Buchan, famous for the Thirtynine steps. His works reflect a bygone age, are full of adventure and evocative of the Scottish landscape. It would probably uplift the spirits on the desert island

Luxury would be finding a shipwreck full of Bordeaux wine (with foil cutter and corkscrew of course)
