Blimey, a new thread by me. Must be something wrong... Anyways, I assume most people are aware of the Desert Island Discs radio programme; if you're not, it is a simple programme where the celebrity picks 8 pieces of music that they would take with them to a mythical island as a castaway, along with a book and a luxury item. So, simply pick your choices. Here's mine: Book: The Death Of WCW Luxury Item: Television 8 songs : Queen - Another One Bites The Dust Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody Garth Brooks - Friends In Low Places Foo Fighters - Learn To Fly Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box Metallica - Enter Sandman The Darkness - Growing On Me The Beatles - Paperback Writer |

My understanding is that it is 8 pieces of music; "Desert Island Discs is a long running BBC Radio 4 programme. It was first broadcast on January 29, 1942 and is said by the Guinness Book of Records to be the longest running music programme in the history of radio. Guests are invited to imagine themselves as castaways on a desert island, and asked to choose the eight pieces of music they would take with them." But it doesn't matter... 8 songs or 8 albums, pick what you want. |

Book- At the moment, I'd take a huge, Queen bio, full of photographs.. I'm obsessed, remember?

Queen Queen II Cold Spring Harbor Turnstiles Sheer Heart Attack 52nd Street ANATO ADATR |
