SuperMikey Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 It's probably been done before, but what 5 tracks (not albums) and 1 book would you take? You get the Bible and the complete works of Shakespeare as standard. I would choose: Nick Drake - Cello Song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1YsFgDaEeo Radiohead - High and Dry [video=youtube;GKkr29EGc-Y] Otis Redding - Dock of the Bay http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nA18g_PwG0 Blur - This Is A Low http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otzdBww47XQ The Divine Comedy - A Lady of a Certain Age As for the book, I would probably choose Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh. I've read it countless times, but I never grow tired of it. Fantastic book.
Jonnyboy Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 I notice Deppo's posts have got to him as he's changed thedelldays to Thedelldays.

View From The Top Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 Love will tear us apart is an epic track and usually makes mine, but not today for some reason Greatest song of all time. The opening riff is, and always will be, my ringtone.
Turkish Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 Greatest song of all time. The opening riff is, and always will be, my ringtone. B*llocks to it, on reflection I can't leave it out and have edited mine.
Thedelldays Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 no one saying Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb..? the best guitar solo ever IMO
badgerx16 Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 (edited) You are omitting the 'luxury' item - for which I would take the same 'item' my daughter said when she was asked the same question - Ray Mears, he could then build a canoe and get us both off the damned island. As for 5 tracks "Let Down" by Radiohead - a mesmeric tune A recording of Pachelbel's Canon "Away in a Manger" recorded by Besses o'the Barn brass band with my daughter playing solo "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding "Epiphany" by Staind For the book "The HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy" Edited 19 August, 2011 by badgerx16 Changed the carol
dune Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 I would choose The Great Betrayal - the memoirs of Ian Douglas Smith (my political hero) as my book.

revolution saint Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 I would choose The Great Betrayal - the memoirs of Ian Douglas Smith (my political hero) as my book. No way! Wow you're just full of surprises
JackFrost Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 Land of hope and glory, rule britannia, jerusalem, i vow to thee my country, god save the queen. I'd have thought you'd have taken this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Margaret-Thatcher-Her-Own-Words/dp/1849540608/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1313785898&sr=8-1
Verbal Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 Last one by the Sex Pistols? Or Hendrix's version at the Isle of wight festival.
dune Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 Last one by the Sex Pistols? Nah, i'm a staunch patriot and supporter of the monarchy.

swannymere Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 Currently i would choose; 1. Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter 2. Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros - Redemption Song 3. The Beach Boys - I wasn't made for these times 4. Dusty Springfield - I don't want to hear it anymore 5. The Housemartins - Build Harper Lee - To kill a mockingbird Luxury - Toothbrush
Jonnyboy Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 Down- Rehab Pantera- 5 minutes alone Metallica-Harvester of sorrow Alice in Chains- Down in a hole Pantera- Cemetery Gates A wide selection of genres ;-)
saint_bert Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 A wide selection of genres ;-) Its going to be a loud island!
Suhari Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 Good thread! Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter Stone Roses - Fools Gold Levellers - Another Mans Cause Simple Minds - Hunter and the Hunted Down in the Tube Station at Midnight - Jam Harlot's Ghost - Norman Mailer
FloridaMarlin Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 God Only Knows - Beach Boys Sea Of Love - Robert Plant A Little Knowledge - Scritti Politti Won't Let This City - Patrick Wolf Help Me Somebody - Brian Eno and David Byrne Book - The Long Goodbye, Raymond Chandler
Lord Duckhunter Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Get Back-The Beatles King Harvest (Has Surely Come)-The Band Lazy days-Flying Burrito Brothers Roll away the stone-Leon Russell Fulsom prison Blues-Johnny Cash
saintbletch Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Great song. Absolutely, but another Bragg song would keep me company during those long days alone on the island. 1. Saturday Boy - Billy Bragg 2. Monkey Gone to Heaven - Pixies 3. Two Headed Boy - Neutral Milk Hotel 4. Switching Off - Elbow 5. The Blowers Daughter - Damien Rice Book - Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks Luxury - iPhone with data contract and Spotify, Amazon Kindle app and Saints Player subscription! That's a tough exercise and I'm obviously in a contemplative mood. if I wrote this in half an hour after my first cup of coffee it'd change dramatically.

Good music choices, by the way.
