My 'desert island discs' top 10 - let's see yours!!!

[saminblack]

I have been asked to do a Desert Island discs thing for a local radio station on Monday (Somer Valley FM - yep Chorley FM part two).

I have chosen singles (Beatles track excluded) so they are well known to a 'normal' audience. Was tempted to just do 10 Stranglers songs (and would have done non album tracks like Sewer, raven, Relentless etc) but though that might be a tad self-indulgent so came up with the following. i chose two Strang singles - a classic Mark oner and my fave post 1990 single.

Love to see other people's top tens (and try and just keep to two Stranglers singles as I thought I had better!)

1 THE STRANGLERS No More Heroes
2 BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN Born To Run
3 RADIOHEAD No Surprises
4 THE KILLERS Mr Brightside
5 THE CLASH Complete Control
6 THE JAM When You’re Young
7 OASIS Stop Crying Your Heart Out
8 THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM The 59 Sound
9 THE BEATLES Here, There and Everywhere
10 THE STRANGLERS Spectre of Love

Feel free to attack! (Not that you will need to be invited with Brooooce in the list)

Near impossible, this is just based on now though and could change next week, I dunno if I can do albums or not but I would prefer that so here goes:
The Stranglers- No More Heroes (Dagenham Dave)
Siouxsie and the Banshees- The Scream (Carcass)
David Bowie- Diamond Dogs (Sweet Thing)
Soft Cell- Non Stop Erotic Caberet (Where did our love go- extra track)
Motorhead- Overkill (Limb from Limb)
Massive Attack- Mezzanine (Angel)
Oi Polloi- Fuaim Catha (Fuck everybody who voted Tory)
The Jam- Setting Sons (Wasteland)
Linton Kwesi Johnson- Forces of Victory (Sonny's Lettah)
The Stranglers- Norfolk Coast (title Track)

Like I say just based on current tastes could change tomorrow and sorry for doing albums would settle for one track off each if I had to, but these desert island discs are impossible and I'm sure most people who actually get to go on the show only base it on what they like then and would pretty much go insane with their choices after a month stuck on an island with fuck all else to listen to, lets face it if we were on a desret island we would hopefully have a 10- gig mp3 player with a solar power source to recharge it on

NB- Edited to say which song I would chose if I had to

[beebop]

1 Cabaret Voltaire - Nag Nag Nag
2 Magazine - Motorcade
3 Siouxsie and the Banshees - Israel
4 Nina Hagen Band - African Reggae
5 The Cure - 10.15 on a Saturday Night
6 The Buzzcocks - Noise Annoys
7 The Clash - White Man in Hammersmith Palais
8 Public Image Ltd - Careering
9 The Stranglers - Down in the Sewer
10 The Damned - Smash it up (Parts 1 and 2)

[sandyinblack]

Do you take vinyl or CD?

My DICs would be, in no particular order:

The Stranglers - Walk On BY
The Doors - Light My Fire
Radiohead - Anyone Can Play Guitar
Beck - Loser
Grateful Dead - Dark Star
The Waterboys - The Whole of the Moon
Counting Crows - Anna Begins
Martyn Bennett - 4 Notes
The Postal Service - Such Great Heights
The Decemberists - The Mariner's Revenge Song

of course it all changes if its singles or albums...
