Desert island - one artist 16:03 - May 13 with 3820 viewsmylittletown

You are being exiled to the proverbial desert island.
You can take the music of one artist. The entire catalogue, but that is all you can listen to for the rest of your life.

Who do you go for?

For me
Steely Dan

It’s a coin flip between Status Quo and Genesis. I wouldn’t want my island cluttered with the rubbish the remains of Quo made from 1980 on, so it has to be Genesis for me.

Interesting to listen to while breaking into my coconuts.

If that's a euphemism then at least the Genesis will ensure your island remains deserted so nobody stumbles upon the scene.

Radiohead might be too intense on an island so I'm going with Bob Marley and the Wailers.

If we were allowed 1 in each of 2 categories it'd be so much easier -

J.S. Bach

Bob Marley & the Wailers

You are changing the rules Ryorry. Sneaky!

It's not 5g masts & vaccines we need to worry about, it's being subliminally influenced by our rulers - who change the rules whenever they like ...

Easy for me I'm old, it's got to be Del Shannon he could sing Rock, Country and his Further Adventures of Chales Westover album was so different from his other music if you like Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band you should like that.

I'm torn. Can't decide between The Wonder Stuff and Eddie Cochran but as EC died when he was 21, the band that's got 35 years' worth of material would get stale much more slowly, so The Wonder Stuff it is.

I’d normally go with the Beatles. But you can listen to their entire recorded output in just over 9 hours.

Bowie or Prince. So much material to play. So I’ll go with Bowie.

Beatles for me too.

9 hours listening is good and then 8 hours sleep. If it’s a beautiful, sunny island with blue seas and yellow sands the rest of the time will be spent swimming and lounging around.

Please can I have someone with me to cook amazing meals though?
