If you were going to be stuck on a desert island for a year ....

If you were going to be stuck on a desert island for a year as some kind of social experiment, and the only music you had access to would be the entire back catalogue of one artist that you have not particularly been into before, who would you go for?

For me, I'm thinking a toss up between David Bowie or Kate Bush. I have a couple of records from both, but I've never gotten any further than that. They seem to me like artists with interesting and diverse output. I mostly listen to 'guitar' driven music, so I think it would be interesting to have something without that focus.

Prince for me too. I like him but haven't *really* got into his music. Bowie too.

Sparks

Possibly the Grateful Dead? I only really know American Beauty and Workingman's Dead but there's probably 1000s of hours of official bootlegs.

Ready the question chaps you get to take the whole DISCO back catalogue :-)

Oh, good.

Roland

JS Bach

Lennon & McCartney or Bros

The Beatles, probably.

Sleaford Mods. If I had nothing else to listen to it would spur me on to get the raft built as quickly as possible.
