Desert Island Discs is quite a long running and popular programme in the UK on BBC Radio 4, and now the programme shares a presenter with BBC 6music in Lauren Laverne. I'm not sure if this is something that translates across the pond or not, but I thought it might be a fun thread to start and get people's Desert Island selections.

As you can see from the picture below, the rules are simple. Choose 8 tracks (1 that you'd save as your sole track), a book and a luxury item for your time on a desert island.

If you've never listened to BBC 6music then check it out. It's a brilliant station and plays all the music we know and love on this forum.

I thought this could be a fun idea for a thread. For those of you that are unfamiliar, for the past 77 years the BBC have programmed a weekly radio show called 'Desert Island Discs'. The premise is that the guest chooses 8 of their favourite recordings, a book, and a luxury item which they would...

Totally forgot about the thread so thanks for flagging it. Would be nice to get it more active again, I actually listened through the ones that were posted as a playlist and it was great fun.

You choose just a song? Or the full album?

Following the radio show format it’s 8 songs 1 book (in addition to the complete works of Shakespeare and the Bible which are already there) and one luxury (that cant allow you to hear from/contact the outside world). You then have to pick one song to save from the waves if it’s washing your 8 disks away.
