John9's post in the Love section gave me the idea of ppl posting their Desert Island Discs (based on a BBC radio programme in the UK whereby celebrities pick the 8 tracks they would like to have if marooned on a desert island , and if they could only take one, which one which I think's usually the last). It's pretty much impossible and you have to be incredibly ruthless but for starters here's mine

Sonny Boy Williamson - Help Me http://youtu.be/VgCpw--3Lyc
The Verve - Lucky Man http://youtu.be/MH6TJU0qWoY
The Walkabouts - Feel Like Goin Home http://youtu.be/cov57ZlGyGQ
Low - Little Argument With Myself http://youtu.be/lPNalR3-IDA
The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter http://youtu.be/WJDnJ0vXUgw
Johnny Cash - Spiritual http://youtu.be/F7_kpLa3fyI
Oasis - Wonderwall http://youtu.be/6hzrDeceEKc
Love - You Set the Scene http://youtu.be/KdELzBV9pyo

Be ruthless.


....................................

My first thought was to pick favorite long songs so I get all I can from my picks, though it wasn't my FIRST consideration, that was just..what moves me.


Love-You Set The Scene...this would be my alternate first choice...perfect

7) The Jefferson Airplane - Rejoyce....maybe my favorite bass-line ever.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lscRNsyEzs4

6) Spirit-Mechanical World
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqUdswZY6jI

5) Gene Clark-Strength Of Strings...it makes my heart sing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzbZQePLyBg

4) The Beatles-A Day In The Life..what a wonderful documentary film of the MUSIC & the times.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPSR9K7tzPc

3) Nick Drake-One of These Thing First...it just soars
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aCxv9Curo4

2) Rolling Stones- You Can't Always Get What You Want...a perfect island mantra.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIX0ZDqDljA


The above seven are not in any real order...all are just as important depending on my Island mood!


...the shortest but the sweetest...

1) MY TOP PICK-Pearls before Swine-I Saw The World
if you don't know it....a must-hear, NOW!

Oh, please let it be a TROPICAL island!! And yes, my fantasy music player is waterproof & operates on SOLAR power!

Neil Young-Down By The River

And that is really hard! What about Buffalo Springfield, or The Byrds, or...?! Crap!!
