    Dessert Island Discs

    Here’s one to think about. What would be the 8 records, one book and one luxury you would take if stranded on a Dessert Island.

    If you want to put the reasons or well and good but equally it’s fine if you don’t want to.

    I’ll kick off with:-

    Mony Mony..Tommy James & the Shondells...Reminds of skating around the sliver blades ice rink in my very early teens
    Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.


    Sunshine of Your Love..Cream... My brother borrowed the album Disraeli Gears off his mate. I played it to death. He never got it back

    I’ll Say Forever my Love..Jimmy Ruffin... Simply it’s “our song”


    Lets Dance..Chris Montez.. Reminds me of all the fab times we had at dances. Twirling Ann across the dance floor.
    rock and roll, sixties, Chris Montez, 1960s, dance, 60s


    Young Girl..Gary Pucket & the Union Gap.. Just love it
    Singer Gary Puckett (born October 17, 1942, Hibbing, Minnesota) grew up in Yakima, Washington - close to the city of Union Gap - and Twin Falls, Idaho. He be...


    Nessun Dorma..Pavarotti...just have to play it full blast. Sends tingles down my spine everytime

    My book...The bible...I’ve never been particularly religious but as I would have plenty of time I would like to explore.

    Luxury...My vaper...Nothing better than sitting back listening to tunes and having a puff.

      i love this song but just incase i got fed up with being on an island it would be worth singing very loud on the hope someone sails past.

      there are so many id like to add to my list.

      as for a book - i have so many books i just wouldnt be able to decide but think if it counts a photograph album

      luxury - suntan lotion or mosquito spray

        8 songs

        Not in any particular order. I won’t put the links because if the titles appeal then you will search YouTube.

        Michelle by The Beetles
        Named our daughter after this song

        The Best by Tina Turner
        This became our dance favourite

        Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin
        It’s a classic

        Hotel California by The Eagles
        My all time favourite band. The acoustic version in the Hell Freezes Over video makes the hairs on my neck stand up.

        Pinball Wizard by The Who
        Reminds me of my youth in amusement arcades

        On the Beach by Chris Rea
        Every year this reminds me that summer has arrived

        Breathe by Pink Floyd
        Best listen with headphones

        Harvest for the World by the Isley Brothers
        Soul music and this song was a big influence during my mid twenties

        My book would be The complete works of Shakespeare because now I appreciate the literary genius that I didn’t at school.

        My luxury would be my iPad so that I could keep in touch with you all.
        I’m going to do this even if it kills me!

              You’re not on your own Denise. The producers of the show tell us we can take records but are going to play them on 🤷‍♂️
