Right, you're stranded on a desert island with your Hi-Fi, and you can only have two CDs.
What woudl they be?

Desert Island Discs

DSOTM & U2's 1980-1990 collection.
However, if the desert island had a CD player, I would be slightly suspicious!

At the moment:
Marillion - Happiness is the Road (1st disc - Essence)
David Gilmour - Live in Gdansk (Disc 2 for those nit-pickers!)
It could be different tomorrow!

I would commit suicide! There's no way I can live with just two CDs.
I would probably have to record into two CDRs:
- The two partitas for harpsichord from Bach that I like the most.
- Beethoven's string quartets Op.131 and Razumovski No. 3
- Schubert's string quintet
- The last movement of Beethoven's 9th symphony, Furtw„ngler / Wiener philharmoniker 1953 version.

There's two sides to every coin.
Good choices!

I`ve had a think and here is my choice. Likely to be controversial I`d say -
Mostly Autumn - For All We Shared
Mostly Autumn - Spirit Of Autumn Past
Why have I gone for these two albums and why oh why have I gone for two from the same band?!?!
Well, firstly as you only have two you`ll want them to be of a decent length. You`ll want them to be steeped in Englishness and nature (well I would anyway). More than one lead vocalist would be nice, say one male and one female. You`ll want the albums to have a great guitar player performing on them. You`ll want a variety of styles, rock, prog, folk, accoustic. It would also be a bonus if whilst you`re listening to your cd`s they were conjuring up images and memories from when you saw the band live and enjoyed a laugh and a drink down the pub with them after the show.
I would get all this and more from these two cd`s which is why for me they would be an excellent choice as my two desert island discs.

I would have to go for Colin Davis' LSO Live recording of Dvorak Symphony No.9, and 'Night Train' by the Oscar Peterson trio.
In reality, however, I would find it very very hard to live without almost every other recording in my collection. Having such wide ranging tastes makes desert island choices very difficult!

If I'd go on my little desert island today ...
Stones (Beggars Banquet)
Antony & the Johnsons (I am a bird now)
Next week it'll be something different ...

David Bowie - Hunky Dory
Pizzicato Five - Playboy & Playgirl (they were sooooo funny! This is my favourite P5's record).

For survival - the audio book version of "Robinson Crusoe" by Daniel Defoe.
For rescue - the (probably) Readers Digest audio guide to escaping/being rescued from a desert island.
If it were today I would have also sneaked in:
Fugazi - In On The Kill Taker
Jethro Tull - Stand Up
