    Right, give this some thought Lads and Lasses but you’ve got to pick 8 records that you would take to a Desert Island.
    It’s not as easy as it sounds, but after much deliberation here’s my choice

    Led Zeppelin - Ramble On
    The Doors - LA Woman
    The Stones - Sympathy for the Devil
    The Who - - Won’t get Fooled Again
    The Faces/ Rod Stewart - Every picture tells a Story
    Sex Pistols - Pretty Vacant
    The Beatles- Let it Be
    The Cure - In Between Days

    Over to you

    The Smiths - I know it's over
    Talking Heads - Life During Wartime

    Adele - Someone like you

    Sex Pistols - Anarchy in the UK

    Might change when I'm in a different mood - bloody hard to pick 8 !

    It is tough isn’t it. I could probably have picked 8 Beatles songs to be honest.
    Just looked at my list again and can’t believe I haven’t picked anything by Pink Floyd or Bowie
