Desert Island Discs
Officially obsessed with the archives to this show now. We've done the Clash, so let's leave them out. What seven songs, Clash aside, would you take with you to a desert island? I'm going to give myself a little time to think about it.

God Save The Queen - Sex Pistols
20th Century Boy - T.Rex
Do You Remember Rock 'n' Roll Radio? - Ramones

I would listen to these tracks then build a boat out of fallen trees and get off the fucking boring island asap.

Re: Desert Island Discs
Shake Some Action - The Flamin' Groovies
Soul Brother Clifford - The Equals
Summer's Cauldron - XTC
E=mc2 - BAD
Dancing Queen - Abba
You Got It - Roy Orbison
Waterloo Sunset - The Kinks
Those are seven songs I never tire of hearing, even though they've had very heavy airplay from me over the years. I think it's important to have stuff you wouldn't get sick of.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: Desert Island Discs
Two things:
1) Glad you're still alive, Inder.
2) We can hang out listening to "A Question of Degree" on the island until I crush your skull with a rock because the demons tell me to.

You should've chose them anyway as they are personal to you. I should've picked "Rude Boys" by The Ruts.101Walterton wrote:Tube Station - The Jam
