[Apc2604]

What five recordings would be your choice if you were sent to a desert island.

I'm bored!

1. Scott Joplin, anything by him.
2. Glenn Miller, anything by him.
3. Handel's Water Music.

[Pooka1950]

Only 5? OK
1. American Pie Don McLean
2. The Continental Peter Skelketn
3. Smooth Santana (always makes me want to dance!)
4. Pearl Fishers duet Au fond du temple saint
5. Flower duet from Lakme

[Apc2604]

Yes, only 5 because I intend to listen to them all!

[Pooka1950]

Oops spelling mistake no. 2 is by Peter Skellern

[weecalf]

What ever will be will be Boris Day
Games people play Joe South
Living years Mike and the mechanics
Torn between two lovers
Mr Tambourine man Byrd’s

[Apc2604]

Boris Day - conjures up a picture of Boris in a blue gingham dress with a bow on his blond locks :o)

[Mozz71]

Is it just songs, or does 'recordings' cover albums too?

[Apc2604]

Albums are welcome.

[elliemay1]

Imagine John Lennon
The Town I Loved So Well Phil Coulter
You're So Vain Carly Simon
The Gambler Kenny Rogers
Isn't It Ironic Alanis Morissette
What If God Was One Of Us Joan Osborne

[Apc2604]

In fact, I will include my favourite Album ever

Love - Forever Changes.

I never tire of it.

[Bobbisox1]

Like APC Nabucco’s chorus of the Hebrew Slaves
The aria from Madame Butterfly
Bohemian Rhapsody
Lady in Red ( mine and Mr Bs song)
If I fell in love with you by the Beatles

[Apc2604]

The Hebrew Slave Chorus was my Dad's favourite, Bobbie. I love it. He died quite young. Lots of memories.

[Mozz71]

Okay.

Billy Joel- The Nylon Curtain
Peter Gabriel- So
Fleetwood Mac- Rumors
The Beatles- The White Album
Divine Comedy- Secret History

Or, in an alternate reality where we only get songs...

McAlmont and Butler- Yes
The Beach Boys- God Only Knows
Billy Joel- Scenes Fron An Italian Restaurant
The Verve- History
John Cale- Paris 1919

[Apc2604]

Went to bed early last night. Was feeling unwell. But thanks for answers.

Mozz. I love Divine Comedy and Neil Hannon's voice is remarkable and instantly recognisable.
