I'm writing these down before I change my mind again... The Band - The night they drove old Dixie down Al Wilson - The snake Otis Redding - These arms of mine The Verve - Bittersweet symphony Flying Burrito Brothers - Dark end of the street Curtis Mayfield - People get ready Wilco - Jesus etc Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah I even managed to change my mind whilst typing that out...
As you say, the difficulty comes with trying to differentiate between tracks that are meaningful to you in some way and those which are just favourites. As I said earlier, 4 or 5 of mine would be fixtures and the rest could change from day to day. I was going to include the book option, but found it more difficult than the music.
1. Lucky - Radiohead 2. Echoes - Pink Floyd 3. Castles Made of Sand - Jimi Hendrix 4. Future Words - The Hickey Underground 5. Redshift - Darwin Deez 6. No I in Threesome - Interpol 7. Feeling Gravity's Pull - REM 8. Sometimes in the Fall - Phoenix Trying to mix all-time favourites with diverse songs (none of which I get tired of listening to). ...and Echoes just to get value for money (great song anyway).
Blimey, of all the brilliant Aphex tracks and you choose a scary one like that for your desert Island! Good to see Steel Pulse in there though.
Any chance we could change the OP to songs that relate to somewhere near the 20th century lads..? Only Eternal has got even close. the rest of the songs only ever came out on 78 or maybe 45's id asssume #his masters voice Split for you oldies
The Wonder of You - Elvis Jerusalem Young Hearts Run Free - Candy Statton In the Ghetto- Elvis Fly Me to the Moon - Frank Sinatra Long Hot Summer - Style Council Daydream Believer - The Monkees Shiny Happy People - R.E.M
Sorry dont agree personally Saw him live many times and "rock my boat" "jamming" & Exodus albumn" took the precedent. Each to thier own brother !
I was thinking of putting Echoes in too! Have seen Aussie Floyd perform this, it's immense Here goes my list for today, but have really struggled with either to go classic, or newer tunes? Mansun - Wide Open Space Charlatans - Beautiful Friend Stone Roses - I Am The Resurrection Arctic Monkeys - A Certain Romance The Beatles - A Day In The Life Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond The XX - Shelter Primal Scream - Come Together
A list of 800 would never be enough, but here goes and in no particular order 1) Molly Hatchet - Flirtin' With Disaster 2) Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here 3) Iron Maiden - Running Free 4) Patrick Cassidy - Vide Cor Meum 5) Vivaldi - Four Seasons 6) Mozart - Horn Concertos 7) Parry - Jerusalem 8) Holst/Rice - I Vow To Thee My Country

Johnny B Goode - Chuck Berry Last train to San Fernando - Johnny Duncan and the Blue Grass Boys Roll over Beethoven - E L O Sabre Dance - Dave Edmunds Finkels Cafe - Alexis Korner Whole Lotta Love - CCS Pipeline - The Chantays All the Young Dudes - Mott the Hoople

The anti Nowhere league! You had that album too!
