I'm sure most of us already know how this works, imagine you somehow end up being sent to an uninhibited pacific island, fortunately you have been supplied with an exceptionally low capacity mp3 player with 10 (yes, 10, not 8) songs of your choosing, what do you pick?

First things first, let's do it properly and get the book and luxury item added in as well.

10 songs is ridiculously hard to decide on and I'd probably have a different selection if I did this again in 5 minutes time.

So here goes (in no particular order):

1. Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash. My grandad LOVED Johnny Cash and so it'll always have a place in my heart.

2. You've Got To Hide Your Love Away (Anthology version) - The Beatles. The glass breaking at the start always makes me smile. And it reminds me of my son, he used to ask for the "1, 2, 3 song". :wub:

3. Blowing' In The Wind - Bob Dylan. No special reason, I'm just in a Dylan mood.

4. Don't Leave Me This Way - The Communards. A perfect pop song.

5. All Things Must Pass - George Harrison. Just because it's a wonderful song.

6. Estranged - Guns n Roses. I could pick almost any song from their first 3 albums. But decided to go for length. ;)

7. Spanish Bombs - The Clash. No real reason, just a song I really enjoy.

8. I Feel Love - Donna Summer. It's nearly 50 years old and still sounds like it's from the future.

9. Right Here, Right Now - Fatboy Slim. I needed a 90s dance track and figured Ironhide had taken all the Chemical Brothers. ;)

10. Still D.R.E. - Dr Dre. There's definitely better rap tunes out there, but nothing as fun to rap along to as this.

Book: The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien

Luxury Item: A Gameboy Advance (with unlimited batteries and a decent selection of games ;) )

The one disc I'd save: You've Got To Hide Your Love Away
