    Default Desert Island Discs

    Not sure if any of you are familiar with the BBC podcast but I quite enjoy it. Guests are brought on and asked to choose which eight songs would they choose to have access to if they were stranded on a desert island. Which one book would they bring and one luxury item.

    So if you were stranded on a desert island, which eight songs, one book and one luxury item would you want to have with you?

    Ooooohhh, great topic Axe! And great show!

    Three Little Birds - Bob Marley - Possibly my favorite song ever written
    Under The Bridge - RHCP - So hard to choose just one RHCP song but I would have to go with this classic
    Follow The Sun - Xavier Rudd - Just a super chill mellow tune to relax to
    See You Again - Wiz Khalifa - It's mine and my son's memorial song for our dog.
    All I Want - Offspring - Another band I would have a hard time choosing just one song from

    The next 3 are song I regularly use to pump me up and get me ready to take on the day which would be pretty important when stranded on a desert island.
    Unbreakable - Anti-Flag
    Title Holder - The Interrupters
    Still Alive - Social Distortion


    There were a bunch of songs that just missed the cut, but saucelife's choice of It Was A Good Day by Ice Cube is right up there.

    Book - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, preferably my omnibus edition that includes all 5 books in the trilogy

    Luxury item - hacky sack
    Without me, it's only "aweso".

    Ha... this is a great thread for a high school story of mine.
    I had a group of 6 buddies in HS, myself and 5 other guys.
    There was this one discussion where they all "laughed me under the table"... and it was this:

    You are on a deserted island - would you rather have:
    a) The complete works of U2, or
    b) The complete works of ACDC
    I was outvoted 5-1... but I still holdfast that my group is better... and that the other isn't aging well.


    Now... to be boring... I could pick my favourite 8 songs of all-time, but an engineer would think about this logically.

    If the island is deserted - it's just me.
    This means language will die and I'd rather have melody and peace.
    I don't want to go all crazy like Darryl in a prison cell in Walking Dead being forced to listen to the same song lyrics over and over.

    So... give me:

    1. Blue Danube Waltz - Strauss
    2. Marriage of Figaro - Mozart
    3. Clair de lune - Debussy
    4. Gymnopedie - Satie
    5. Morning Mood - Grieg
    6. Primavera - Einaudi
    7. Overture No. 3 - Bach
    8. Bluebird - Alexis Ffrench (if you haven't heard this modern one... queue it up, good shit to mellow out on)


    Book:
    20,000 Leagues Under the Seas - Verne (I haven't read it... I'd want something new... and it would fit and might keep me sea-sharp. My "luxury item" is gonna get more use than the book anyways.)

    Luxury Item (assuming that I have some form of tools & base things for food/water/shelter):
    Probably a loaded, working gaming device system, solar-powered. Good to keep the brain sharp and entertained: Nintendo Switch or PS#, something like that.
    And... if there's some Grand Theft Auto or similar game... I'd have a lot of cool song tracks already listed above! *boom. P7 ftw*


    (fun, thanks)

    So I assume everyone has an additional luxury item to actually play the songs on? Something like an ipod or smart phone or 5000W home stereo and all the electricity you need??

    ^The songs magically boom out of the sky whenever needed, at volume level of your choice, full Dolby-Surround-Sound.
    I believe that can be inferred in this situational! LOL.
