Guests are invited to choose the 11 'records' they would take to a desert island.

All my choices are open to interpretation by the individual and imply many different meanings, therefore their relevance is purely subjective

In the words of Dermot O'Leary.... 'in no particular order'

Joy Division - Isolation
Stiff Little Fingers - Tin Soldiers
Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy
The Clash - Guns Of Brixton
Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way
Siouxsie And The Banshees - Israel
John Cooper Clarke - Beasley Street
Bloodhound Gang - Kiss Me Where It Smells Funny
The Stranglers - Hanging Around
Jessie J - Price Tag
The Specials - Stupid Marriage

Before you say what a pile of ****e, say what you would you take! So Go Buddy Go!

As it seems difficult picking out Album's or single's and keeping to a choice of 11... lets change that and say anything goes!
 
U2 - Joshua Tree
Pink Floyd - The Final Cut
Roger Waters - In the Flesh
Coldplay - Parachutes
REM - Out of Time
The Killers - Sams Town
AC/DC - Live
Green Day - American Idiot
Stereophonics - World gets Around
Simply Minds - Live in the City of Light
The Beatles - St Peppers

I could of named loads more with the same artist, but I choose the favourite album by each artist. I know Floyd and Roger Waters are the same but I could not imagin leaving both those Albums at home!
 
Rush - Closer to the heart
John Farnham - You're the voice
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to heaven
Little River band - Cool change
Brian Adams - Summer of 62
Rush - Spirit of radio
U-2 - One love
Free - All right now
Eric Clapton- Layla
Jackson Browne - The load out/Stay
 
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
Kasabian - Kasabian
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Baby 81
Guns N Roses - Use Your Illusion II
Lostprophets - Liberation Transmission
Linkin Park - Meteora
The Verve - Urban Hymns
Oasis - Definately Maybe
Muse - Absolution
David Gray - White Ladder
Led Zeppelin VI - couldn't not take Stairway to Heaven!

That was really difficult!!
 
1. U2 - Joshua Tree
2. Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to the Head
3. Goo Goo Dolls - Dizzy Up The Girl
4. The Killers - Hot Fuss
5. Kings of Leon - Only By The Night
6. Longview - Mercury
7. Embrace - Out Of Nothing
8. Lostprophets - Start Something
9. Feeder - Echo Park
10.Stereophonics - Word Gets Around
11.Razorlight - Up All Night
 
Wow! What a collection of different tastes! I see we have a mixture of 'singles' & 'LP's'... so some of us are geared up for a longer stay on that Island!
 
The Airbourne Toxic Event - Sometime Around Midnight
Stone Roses - I Am The Resurrection
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
Johnny Cash - Hurt
The Killers - When You Were Young
Maximo Park - Books From Boxes
