Your Desert Island Playlist
« on: January 11, 2020, 04:09:18 PM »
You’re trapped on a desert island. You have one 12 song CD/playlist that may just be the only 12 songs you’ll ever hear again in your life.

What ya got?

I myself want a mixture of different songs: upbeat, sad, rockn, slow, etc... the one thing I’ll lean to is songs that are on the longer side. Only 1 song per artist.

1. Gimme Shelter - the Rolling Stones
2. Ten Years Gone - Led Zeppelin
3. One - U2
4. Heroes - David Bowie
5. I’m Just A Man - INXS
6. L.A Woman - The Doors
7. Jokerman - Bob Dylan
8. Baba O’Riley - The Who
9. Hallowed Be Thy Name - Iron Maiden
10. Black - Pearl Jam
11. Wheat Kings - The Tragically Hip
12. Backstreets - Bruce Springsteen

On the UK radio show Desert Island Discs you only get eight choices, one of which is the castaways favourite.  You also get to take a book and a luxury item.

For the purposes of reading and enjoyment...this Thread is RIGHT up my street. The kind of thread i love to see. But, im wondering if i have the knowledge of music to take part (im lousy with song titles). I will need to have a real good think about this. I dont want to muck it up.
