Gigantic - Pixies

Clair De Lune -Debussy

The Girl and the Robot - Röyksopp

In Between Days - The Cure

I See A Darkness - Bonnie Prince Billie (though not sure which version)

Cortez The Killer - Neil Young (ugh, just one Neil Young song)

Lay It Down Slow - Spiritualized

Ice Hockey Hair - Super Furry Animals

 

If @Dr Marco hadn't already put God Only Knows, I might have chosen that too, but I want to avoid duplication.

 

I could have a completely different list tomorrow, though the top too are pretty locked in. When I think of the acts, and even genres, I've omitted from that list, I feel sick to the stomach!

I realised I left out AM 180 by Grandaddy, a song I can listen to on repeat many times over, but which of the above to sacrifice? Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh!

Simon and Garfunkel - Baby Driver 

 

John Coltrane - Blue Train 

 

Bob Marley - Natural Mystic 

 

Rebirth Brass Band - Feel like funkin' it up  ( live street mix )

 

Beastie Boys - Open Letter to NYC

 

Pharcyde- Passin Me By 

 

Sly and the Family Stone - If You Want Me to Stay 

 

Marvin Gaye - Inner City Blues 

 

To pick 8 songs is near impossible,

but if I suddenly woke up on a desert island and they were the only songs I had I'd be happy.

It really is isn't it. 15/20.years ago my list would've been mainly guitar inspired tracks but those 2 would still have been on..

[pSinatra]

Johnny Cash - Redemption

Blur (ft. Francoise Hardy) - To the End

Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence

The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize?

Richard Hawley - Valentine

Bee Gees - You Should Be Dancing

Sufjan Stevens - Flint

Beastie Boys - Ch-check It Out  (my pissed out my brain go-to singalong - I'm presuming there will be fruit fermentation going on)

 

That's made my brain hurt.  I can come back in an hour & none of those will be on my list.

Argh! I left Do You Realise out!

 

This would look be a lot easier with albums... but even then...

 

Can't I just have some form of mp3 playing device? Hang on! My luxury item is a solar-powered 1tb mp3 player.

 

Which has got me thinking... has anyone ever requested a record player as the obviously necessary luxury item, or is that given as washed ashore... and also that it's an old hand drinkable one?

Like others have said it's an almost impossible task.  Heck I could choose 8 songs from one artist and be happy with them...but might as well give it a go...here are todays choices lol.

 

Van Morrison - The Healing Game

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Hey Hey, My My ( Into the Black)

The Kinks - Waterloo sunset

Bob Dylan - Jokerman

Bruce Springsteen - Racing in the Street

James Taylor - Carolina on my Mind

Simon & Garfunkel - Kathy's Song

Pearl Jam - Alive

[oakman]

This is near impossible but I’d go for something like this:

 

Don’t Bother Me - Bad Brains

Gimme Shelter - Merry Clayton

Hey - Pixies

A Forest - The Cure

Downpressor Man - Peter Tosh

Maggot Brain - Funkadelic 

Jack The Ripper (live) - Morrissey

Shine On - The House Of Love

On that desert island under a palm tree, wouldn't mind those two choices myself.
