I often play this one when drunk and meeting new people......

At this moment in time..... If you were going to be placed on a desert island for a year and had to take 3 singles, albums and films what would you take?

Not, "ooh, last week I liked....."
Right now!

As a starter, mine would be:

Singles:
Stan - Emimen
Savage Garden - Truly Madly Deeply
Usher - Burn.

Albums:
George Michael - Listen Without Prejudice
Seahorses - Do It Yourself
Savage Garden - Savage Garden

Films:
Saw
The Usual Suspects
The Butterfly Effect

Anyone else playing....?

OK, so I may show my age now.....

Singles :

Mr Bue Sky - ELO
Doctor Doctor - UFO
A Kind of Magic - Queen

To my ear, these still beat some of rap (that's crap with a silent C) that I hear today.

Albums:

Queen - Live Killers
Deep Purple - Live in Japan
UFO - Strangers in the Night (Live)

Films:

The Great Escape
Star Wars (Episodes 1 to 6)
The Lord of The Rings (Trilogy).

(OK - maybe that makes 10 films in total, but you didn't specify. You can - I think - buy the last two as "collections").......... :)

KRO,

C.

Right have given it a good thunk and here is my list. ;)

Singles

Three little birds - Bob Marley - To remind me of my daughter

Hong Kong Garden - Siouxsie & The Banshees - To remind me of the fun I had

Thats entertainment - The Jam - to remind me what a depressing place the UK can be (so I dont get home sick!) **thumbup

Albums

Nun E Acqua - Massimo Ranieri - to remind me of my woman

The complete birth of cool - Miles Davis - Because I would need something to cool me down on a desert Island

Trojan Rasterfari box set - Various artists - because it would get me up dancing! (not a pretty sight granted but there would be no one else to see it!)

Films

Last of the Mohicans - classic film, classic story of valour and honour

Betty Blue - well can you think of a better way to learn french? ;)

And lastly because I would need a laugh - Planes Trains and Automobiles!!!! Funniest film ever made (IMO) :lol:
