If i was on a desert island i don't think i would have access to a cd player :P
What kind of lame-o desert island to you plan to get stuck on!?
Anyway, 5, huh? OK, today, the list would be:
Jan Sibelius,
Kullervo Op.7, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra cond. by Paavo Berglund, 1985 recording.
The Grateful Dead,
Europe '72.
Hawkwind,
Space Ritual.
The Beatles,
Revolver.
Jethro Tull,
Benefit.
Aren't we supposed to normally get 8 discs on the proper Desert Island Discs show, though? :) If so, today I'd add:
Bruce Dickinson,
The Chemical Wedding.
Blue Öyster Cult,
Imaginos.
Carlos Vives,
La Tierra del Olvido (I trust I'm on a
tropical desert island, properly equipped with umbrella drinks! 8))
