Pick 10 of your favourite albums to take to your desert island, the rules are: you have to own the album, you can't take "best of" or "greatest hits" or "live versions" and no compilations and you can't choose an album that's less than a year old You are allowed to take albums that pre-date you and you can change it each year.
Easy?
This is my selection so far...but I'm still tinkering, and have found the whole exercise really difficult but enjoyed doing it.
So, in no particular order, here's my first version:
1. Queen, Sheer Heart Attack
2. Muse, Absolution
3. Pink Floyd, Dark Side Of The Moon
4. Pulp, Different Class
5. Goldfrapp, Felt Mountain
6. Divine Comedy, Casanova
7. Chemical Brothers, Exit Planet Dust
8. Massive Attack, Mezzanine
9. White Stripes, Elephant
10. Kasabian, West Pauper Lunatic Asylum
I'm not claiming any credit for this unique challenge, it was created by an acquaintance known only as Dr Global (that's all you need to know about him)
