Hey everyone

Another fun game from yours truly. This time, it's about desert island discs, and specifically, what yours would be.

For this of you who aren't fimilar with what a desert island disc is, allow me to explain.


Picture the scenario, you're at work one day and your boss comes up to you and says "hey, you're gonna get moved to a tiny Pacific Island with no WiFi, no downloads etc. You'll get enough to survive, but your only entertainment is a CD player. You can take 10 songs in total. Have fun"

Apart from obviously thinking "I'll never be able to go on MCME again", you'd be thinking about what those 10 songs would be.

Now, for me, I would have obviously songs that a great musically, but also that mean a lot to me.

In no particular order, they would be

  1. The Beatles - She's Leaving Home
  2. Queen - The Seven Seas of Rhye
  3. Glenn Miller - Moonlight Serenade
  4. The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever
  5. Toto - Africa
  6. Tchaikovsky - Waltz of the Flowers
  7. Electric Light Orchestra - Mr Blue Sky
  8. George Harrison - My Sweet Lord
  9. The Bee Gees - How deep is your love
  10. The Beatles - Penny Lane


Those songs all hold a really special place in my heart, and I never tire of listening to each of them.

What about you guys? What would you take to listen to, knowing you'll probably never listen to other songs again.
