Desert Island Discs

3 records that do it for ya

If you were in jail with just 3, which 3 would it be?

I'm honest enough to start. One each from the 60's, the 70's and the 80's

1. Beatles - The White Album

2. Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

3. Stone Roses - Stone Roses

Go at it, kids. And play nicely.

It's a bit difficult to narrow it down to 3 but ok, at the moment I'd say..

Phil Spector - Back To Mono
Pink Floyd - Dark Side OfThe Moon
Project Pitchfork - Chakra Red
