The BBC have recently completed their wonderful archive series for their radio programme Desert Island Discs, which has been running on radio 4 ever since 1942 (that’s 70 years for those who don’t like maths!) Frankly I’m amazed that so many of these programmes still exist, given the BBC’s mania for wiping most things (though sadly William Hartnell, the first and best Dr Who, has been hit by the BBC curse yet again and wiped). Naturally in those 70 years several musicians have taken part to ‘role-play’ being stuck on a desert island with only six records of their choice, a luxury object and a book – and that includes no less than seven AAA members. So here are, in chronological order, the musicians who took part, what discs they chose and where you can hear their podcast to download and keep forever (well, as long your computer lasts!) As I’m sure you’ll agree our AAA members all have excellent tastes, despite the classical music choices – and even choose some of their fellow AAA releases! You can have a whale of a time comparing and contrasting the following lists (or is that just me?!) For instance, it’s interesting to note how similar Waters’ and Gilmour’s choices are (with a Cohen and a Neil Young each) – perhaps the Floyd tourbus was full of this music? (they both chose instruments as their luxury items too!) Thanks to the site’s excellent search engine I’ve also come up with some interesting facts and stats for you: no castaway has yet chosen a Hollies song (just wait till I’m on this programme for real!), two have votes for Pentangle (Rachel Whiteread and John Harle), actor Kevin Whately is the only person to have chosen Lindisfarne (‘Run For Home’), singer Clodagh Rogers picked the obscure Moody Blues song ‘Watching and Waiting’ as one of her discs, David Cameron picked Pink Floyd’s ‘Wish You Were Here’ (we could say the same, Dave!), 3 different CSN songs have been picked (‘Our House’ ‘Southern Cross’ and ‘Carry On’) and author Ian Rankin picked the title track of Belle and Sebastian’s ‘The Boy With The Arab Strap’. The main page of the website is here in case you want to research your own trivia!:
