Desert Island Discs. Oh noes! Stranded!

Topics

Prometheus

You can only take five albums to a desert island. This is the only music you'll ever listen to for the rest of your life. What's it going to be?

I'm going to list five even though I know I'll change my mind again later.

Radiohead: The Bends
The Beatles: Sergeant Pepper
Nick Cave: The Mercy Seat
Echo And The Bunnymen: Heaven Up Here
Bowie: Scary Monsters

I've got to admit Abba's Greatest Hits is a worthy consideration. What would it replace though? Hmmm... dilemmas...

12/19/103:47 PM

Izzy GonyettMember

Oooh...only 5???? Errrmmmmm.....

Metallica....And Justice For All.

Plan B....The Refirmation of Strikland Banks

The Jam.....Setting Sons

Enya...Paint The Sky With Stars

Rod Stewart...Greatest Hits.

That was tough...but these are the ones I listen too the most, so I guess that qualifies them!!!

Prom: I lurve Setting Sons, it is just wonderful, my fave of all their albums. It is a fabulous driving record too...when I'm in the car on my own, I whack it on and sing along at the top of my voice....gawd knows what I must look like to other drivers!!!!! Out of all the ones I listed, it is my most played.

They have so many songs like that. I've always seen them as an intelligent pop band. Brilliant lyrics and fantastic melodies. They were my first thought when I listed my 5 but up against the other ones I listed they just didn't make it. They're a better band than Echo ever were but that particular Echo album is just incredible imho

The Beatles are going nowhere! There was always going to be at least one Beatles album for me, the question is which one? Abbey Road is a better album but probably too depressing to spend time with on a desert island

Caravan - In the land of grey and pink.

Rod Stewart - every picture tells a story

Frank - Make a jazz noise here.

Bowie - hunky dory.

Gentle Giant - Three Friends.

Book- Lucifer's Hammer.

Luxury - Ouzo.
