Desert Island Discs
Posted: Mon Aug 04, 2003 4:09 amDesert Island Discs is a radio program broadcast by the BBC - where well known individuals choose 8 songs they'd take with them if they were stuck on a desert island - & why.
If you were to choose 8 - which would they be & why?
Mine:
I Wish (Stevie Wonder): Fantastic vibrant & typically original track with a unique complex structure that NO ONE can replicate. Heard it as a teenager & have heard it 1000's of times since. Never get tired of it
I'd never be low with music like this ;D
Rhapsody in Blue (George Gershwin): Always loved it since watching Woody Allen's 'Manhatten'. Bought The full Rhapsody in Blue Concerto & couldn't believe how wonderful & soul revealing it is. Another genious.
Sign 'o the Times (Prince): Prince has written so many classics - I couldn't be without him. Great positive music.
Strip Me Naked (John Lee Hooker): Just love great southern blues. Has an ingenious way of seeing humour in hard times/bad luck & turns it round to being a positive thing. Very useful if stuck on a desert island ;D
The Way it Is (Bruce Hornsby) - Just love Bruce Hornsby's piano mastery & another track I have heard 1000's of times & never tire of it
I Ain't Mad At Cha (Tupac Shakur) - 2 Pac has become my favourite Rapper over the past few years - tragic that he was shot - he had so far to go. A great tallent. I love it.
Nutcracker Suite - Chinese Dance (Tchaikovsky) I'd feel like some 'classical music' every now & then & this one wouldn't disappoint
Hand in My Pocket (Alanis Morissette) - I just love that album & it would add an essential female element in my loneliness
Just a snippit of my musical tastes - it has to be ;D
