I was thinking this weekend about the concept of my Desert Island Discs. You know, assuming you had a Discman with a case of batteries or something, which CDs would you take with you to a desert island? And I’m not talking about which discs you “should” take, what other people think are classic records, but which ones you listen to a lot and couldn’t live without. Limit yourself to 10, and no Greatest Hits collections allowed. Here are mine. In no particular order:
- Pixies-Doolittle
- Pixies-Surfer Rosa
- The The-Soul Mining
- Bowie-Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
- Rheostatics-Whale Music
- Spoon-Telephono
- The Wedding Present-George Best
- The Waterboys-This is the Sea
- Stevie Wonder-Songs in the Key of Life (I guess this counts as two because it’s two discs)
What are yours?
