    Desert Island Discs is a UK radio show which has been running since 1942. The idea was to interview personalities who would become "castaways". They would be sent to a desert island with a choice of 10 pieces of music (and the means to play them), 1 piece of literature (excluding the Bible or the works of Shakespeare) and the choice of taking 1 luxury item.

    So let's play!

    My 10 musical choices:

    The Beatles - Revolver album
    The Beatles - Let It Be album
    The Beatles - Abbey Road album
    George Harrison - My Sweet Lord
    Procul Harem - A Whiter Shade of Pale
    Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah
    Simon & Garfunkel - Concert in Central Park - live album
    Eagles - Hotel California album
    Mozart - "Exsultate, jubilate"
    Marisa Fiordaliso - Amami Se Vuoi

    My literary choice:

    'Thinking to Some Purpose' by L Susan Stebbing (or FHM's 2004 bumper edition)

    My luxury item:

    On the assumption that I can't take 'Kylie in a bathtub' I'd pick hmmmm............. A POWERBOAT!
