thanks jonny99,some great tunes,I like a few of those as well,especially the Damn Yankees one and I've read quite a few of your book choices,it's only when you try to limit yourself to 10 that you have to leave out some favourites.

You are also allowed one luxury item. I forget which guest it was, but one asked to have an inflatable doll to keep him company.
As for my list, I'll give it some thought.

Difficult

joy division - unknow pleasures
Ennio Morricone - the good the bad and the ugly BSO
Wire - a bell is a cup until it is struck
Death in June - the world that summer
The sound - from the lions mouth
John coltrane - A love supreme
Elvis Costello & Annie soffie van otter- from the stars
Bauhaus- In the flat field
Townes van Zandt - our mother the mountain
Tom waits - rain dogs

This only for one island, but i will need a big group of islands, for the all list always chaging

Forever chaging, like the album from Love

Adeus
