Hi, I normally put together a playlist for summer holidays. Last year was in France, through Normandy, so plenty of French music, D-day speaches and reports etc.

This year as you may know, I am heading to Easter Island for Total Solar Eclipse, so would like some suggestions for my playlist.

My starters are: Total Ecipse of the Heart - Bonny Tyler; The Sun Aint Gonna Shine Anymore - Walker Bros.

What else should I have? Can be eclipse related or Easter Island, Pacific, Chile etc... go on - do your worst, I will listen to them and think of you lot commuting though the London smog (Apologies to non London based riders, of which there are plenty!) :P

    Stings gotta few Sun type tracks on his albums.

    I'm sure Jean Michel Jarre did something for an Egyptian concert that was cancelled.
    Seem to remember it was possibly something to do with an Eclipse as well.

    Try a bit of Wikipedia searching.
