Desert Island Discs

[Norman Stanley Fletcher]

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

 

[Arlyman]

The Smiths - I know it's over
Talking Heads - Life During Wartime
Meat Loaf - Dead Ringer for Love
ELO - Mr. Blue Sky
Adele - Someone like you
Stones - Honkey Tonk Woman
Sex Pistols - Anarchy in the UK
Clash - I fought the Law

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

 

[FellTop]

Ricochet, Part 2 (Tangerine Dream)
Requiem, Mozart
Mercy mercy me, Marvin Gaye
Purple Rain, Prince
Many rivers to cross, Jimmy Cliff
Welcome Home, Metallica
Structures from Silence, Steve Roach
My Death, Bowie

Almost impossible. Tried to reach across genres.

 

[Wayne the Punk]

The thing is, I was thinking if I was on a desert island, I dont need any songs full of angst, or loves lost. Still thinking

 

[Disco down under]

Atmosphere - Joy Division
Tomorrow Never Knows - Beatles
The Gael - Dougie MacLean
Ecstasy of Gold - Ennio Morricone

Mozart's requiem is a ****ing fantastic cheat answer. Isn't it about 70 minutes long?

2. Late In The Day - Supergrass
3. Something - The Beatles
4. The End - The Beatles
5. Sound & Vision - Beck

[Montysoptician]

Bloody hell that was hard. If I started again now I would have a completely different eight.

Deliberately avoiding Dylan and in no particular order:

1. The Fields of Athenry - Paddy Reilly
2. The Weight – The Band
3. Hotel California – The Eagles
4. Deportee – Woody Guthrie
5. No Man's Land - Eric Bogle
6. Die Like A Rich Boy - Frightened Rabbit
7. Better Together - Jack Johnson
8. Better Man – Paolo Nutini

 

[FellTop]

Mozart's requiem is a ****ing fantastic cheat answer. Isn't it about 70 minutes long?

Ricochet is 20 mins.
Structures from silence 30 mins.

I will be rescued before the playlist is done
