Desert Island Tunes

In the Uk there is a radio show called Desert Island Discs where famous people get interviewed and have to compile a list of songs they would have with them if stranded on a island and why.

I haven't quite sorted mine yet but what would you have as your top 5 plus a bonus emergency track. Its tougher than it sounds

Youtube videos would be nice to go along with them.

Do you have the list? And if so - post it?

I guess I would like a well tuned piano on my desert island. Who knows if we would have electricity.

Choosin yer top five is not easy but i will give it a go later.
Ive got two of em

There would be a wind up eco crank generator on this hypotheical island but a piano would be welcome.

Well we could use the solar panels and wind turbine generators if you need electricity. But a live group of musicians tops electricity anyday of the week.

Im sure this list would vary from island to island but I could live with this one

1. Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd Monumental rock epic with two very different guitar solos from the master



2- Cavatina Stanley Myers The perfect guitar composition


3- Soon- Yes Cosmic and optimistic with interesting use of pedal steel. This is the album version though yesshows live is better

4- Claire de Lune -Debussy sad beautiful mysterious and romantic. I like this flute version which I picked up in a store in Boston many moons ago.

5- Brian Eno -An Ending. Ascent (but not in a ascension way lol) never get bored of this one. Ambient synths at their best.


Emergency bonus track Neil Young Through my sails. You could do a nice acoustic version on the island

Plus a nice bottle of vino or two

I do appreciate Music but if I was stranded on an island and lucky enough to have no cars, no airplanes , no trains to pollute my ears with their noises and no other human being to talk to, I would love to spend my time in contemplation listening to the music nature does bringing to Heart what Mother says.

I am still in the process of making my own top 100 list which I would (could) take with me, so it is a pretty difficult task to decide about the top 5 (I would prefer to take my top 100 ).

Anyway, here it is, in no particular order:


1. Don't dream it's over - Crowded House




2. Through the baricades - Spandau Ballet




3. Here I go again - Whitesnake




4. More then words - Extreme




5. Afrika - Toto

Malletzky. Your number one choice is a damned fine one sir.

**Of course with this tune I'd always have Oxy with me.. it's become our signature tune!.. eeeee

You guys are forgetting your sixth emergency bonus track
