Can I add my vote to not being washed up on Stormy's island ? Sorry mate, but the only person who'll share with you is Alan Partridge. (will forgive Wonderful Tonight, that is quite a classic)
Primate I could happily share with, also Liana. Emily gets excluded for Lady Marmalade - I could have lived with the All Saints version, but not that freak show of artists.
It did get me thinking whether I'd rather have ten records or a radio that would only get radio 5 - music, or having access to news and live sport...
I could be stuck on an island with primate too - a couple of tracks in his/her list were hoverers on mine.
Sorry Andrew, but not you, if you insist on bringing "wonderful tonight" with you. The worst lyrics ever, on a par with "Lady In Red" and "I just called to say I love you"
I don't know why Clapton released this pile of pooh, the man is widely accepted as a bloody genius...can you subsitute "Leyla (Accoustic version, preferably), or " Cocaine" instead? You can stay on the island then........
Storms, your list made me shriek in horror. Your morrisey post made me howl with laughter. Maybe you would be my luxury item instead.
As long as you didnt bring any music with you that is........
Oooh tough one.
Book would be Catch 22.
top 10 tracks? God, how tough is this!? I own like 100-150 compilation tapes. Okay here goes -
1) Sugar Boy -Beth Orton
2) Colourblind - Counting Crowes
3) It aint me babe - Bob Dylan
4) Isolation - John Lennon
5) All Along the wtachtower - Jimi Hendrix
6) In my lIfe - The Beatles
7) Where is my mind - The Pixies
8) Wise Up -Aimee Mann
9) In Dreams - Roy Orbison
10) Bernadette - The Four Tops
To be smuggled -
Welcome to the jungle - Guns N' Roses
20th Century Boy - T. Rex
Heaven Knows I'm Miserable now - The Smiths
Money - The Beatles
Love Reign O'er me - The Who
The Bends - Radiohead
Creep - Radiohead
Boys don't cry - The Cure
I'm Glad - Cream
Nobody Loves you - John Lennon

Seems to me to be a little on the self-incriminating side M'lord!
Do I need to produce said voluminous bum bag?
*He says donning bullet proof suit and running like the clappers for the soon to be departing boat*
Hey Stevo,
I completely forgot Leonard Cohen as well. S**t.
Okay. Add "Suzanne" and "Chelsea Hotel" to the smuggled list.

Posting above those two Mississippi was from Liana, saying that she may have left said items at Fishes house after weekend visit.
Why am I to be shot Fish ? *says ed, cursor hovering over special "Editor" button that says 'remove cherry from this story'* I was merely trying to balance the scales, having been nasty to Liana this morning in the defamation dispute.
