Kate Beckinsale.

Blue Murder...........Blue Murder
Come Sail Away ........Styx    (not really)
lamplight symphony ....kansas
born under a bad sign.........Paul Rogers version
Bridge of Sighs..............Robin Trower
Red House ..................Hendrix
In the light....................Led Zepplin
anything off of..... Darkside Of The Moon...  Pink Floyd

I can't go without my music ..so that's it I'm not going anywhere near the desert . lol

No I did mean "Desert Island".

A deserted island (also known as a 'desert island') is simply any uninhabited island: the word "desert" in this context is an adjective meaning "desolate and sparsely occupied or unoccupied," and does not imply arid desert weather.[1] Such islands are commonly invoked in metaphor, literature, and the popular imagination.

i knew that i was just joking  in a goofy manner must of been the mood i was in.

I gotta admit you think alot like me..
in each mood.. lol..  but entheon had
one good Idea I would offer to you
also.. a bow and arrows.. maybe a
bowie knife.. and well a shovel...
could be a military style folding shovel,
but hell give me a good ol fashioned
big garden spade... the pointed end
kind...  with a good strong oak handle..
I think all the above would help add to
your idea...

my great uncle's 1965 Harmony Master Guitar with nylon strings....

Alabama Rain - Jim Croce
Behind Blue Eyes - The Who
Curtis Lowe - Lynard Skynard
Catfish John - The NewGrass Who a.k.a. Revival
Statsboro Blues - Allman Brothers

because I always feel very relaxed when any of these songs play or
I am playing them..

Here's mine!!

Fat bottom girls-Queen
Skating away-Jethro Tull
The Perfectionist-Saga
My Sharona-Get the Knack
Last Chance-Shooting Star

and my guitar obviously a must to bring also!!!!

That's not fair.  But here goes:

Don't Stop Believin' - Journey
Tiny Dancer - Elton John
Since You've Been Gone - Powderfinger
Bats In The Belfry - Dispatch
Alive - Pearl Jam

These aren't my favorite songs.  Just what I'd want on a desert island.

This is all moot, because I'm a pirate and I'd have a ship.  Pft.

LOL! well you all are fools!  Im taking a beach towel, something to drink, and the following tunes:  (he didnt say we were stranded!!!) 


We Want Your Soul - Adam Freeland

Technology - Evilnine

Sultans Of Swing - Dire Straits

(this is harder than I thought)

Swandive - Ani DiFranco

Gravity - John Mayer



...as Avi said these arent my absolute favorites, but its a damn good time on a deserted Island!

I think i'll take a guiitar (and a multitrack recorder) and make my own music instead of listening to the same 5 songs over and over?

well, ok my five would be:

 wish you were here - Incubus

 wish you were here - Pink Floyd

 great gig in the sky - Pink floyd

Feeling good - muse

I dont have the map - Idlewild

  Ian

I'd take a radio!    

Get the news then as well!

When the Children Cry- White Lion

Home Sweet Home- Motley Crue

Dust in the Wind- Kansas

Imagine- John Lennon

I Saw the Light- Hank Williams

that's my Jekyll....now for Hyde!


The Four Horseman
Am I Evil
Seek and Destroy
*all by Metallica*
Painkiller- Judas Priest
Anything off the We Sold Our Soul......Black Sabbath

Am I evil ain't by Metallica. It's by Diamond Head! I only learnt that a year ago. Before that, i was blissfully ignorant! Unless, you meant the Metallica version, in which case, i apologise!

I would take:

Jason Rebello - Summertime (Fantastic cover of the Gershwin classic)
Herbie Hancock - Watermelon Man
The Clash - Lost in the Supermarket
Metallica - For Whom the Bell Tolls
Capdown - Ska Wars
