Following on from the Albums/rides thread, as some of you reckon you can't pick a favourite album, what's your fave ten albums if you were stuck on a desert island? To make it harder, you can pick no more than 2 best of albumsand only 1 album per artist, and compilation cds such as now are banned.
You can also pick a luxury item, thats small enough to fit in a standard size suitcase and is not any kind of escape gear, and one book. Rules over, here goes.
My Albums
Dire Straits - Brothers in arms
Crowded House - Reccurring Dream ( the best of)
Nirvana - Unplugged in New York
Blur - Parklife
Green Day - Dookie
McFly - All the Greatest Hits
Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid
The Divine Comedy - Fin de Siècle
Sleeper - The It Girl
Hayseed Dixie - Weapons of Grass Destruction
My Luxury Item would be an inflatable sofa
and My book would be Round Ireland with a Fridge by Tony Hawks
by the way, this game does presume you have a device to play your music on, so no need to pick an Ipod (other brands of digital media player are available) as your luxury item
