Yeah we watched the golden compass and my mate who had read his dark materials told me more about it and it sounded interesting so ill definitely read them, even if I have to purchase them myself!
Woah there - do you realise you just said this series is better than harry potter :eek: is that even possible!
Yes music and books go hand in hand, certain songs remind me of certain things I've read and vice versa.
Do you have a Kindle?
If you do I will email you the HDM books.
They are brilliant books.
Much better than Harry Potter.
Five songs.....
Rush - Bravado.
Edward Elgar - Nimrod.
Underworld - Calibans dream.

You can tell that just from what total strangers post? Gosh, you are clever aren't you?
Maybe some people have a very diverse taste in music and don't just like one type. In my alphabetically sorted CD collection, I have:
The Stranglers next to Barbra Streisand
The Osmonds next to Pink Floyd
Take That next to James Taylor next to UB40
George Michael next to Joni Mitchell
Shakira next to Frank Sinatra
Coldplay, Phil Collins, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Dido, Duran Duran, The Eagles, ELO, Fairport Convention
But hey, don't let that put you off your sneering. :rolleyes:

In temrs of being on a Desert Island...sun blaring, ocean blue and beautiful, drinks all juicy and sweet....i will need to of course have albums to both reflect that and/or reflect my mood entirely too....so lets mix it up with my favourite ever albums ever and my summer/good vibes albums -
Madonna - Like A Prayer (it is my companion and it will never leave me, it ticks every mood and feels so damn epic in so many ways....best album ever)
Kate Bush - Hounds Of Love (again its a fave and also i feel the oceanic themes/isolation and warmth will tick the island boxes too)
grace jones - Hurricane (nothing beats a Island disc than an album about an island...you feel every element)
Soul II Soul - Original Club Classics Vol 1 (amazing album i re-discovered recently and damn it ticks so many boxes....FRESH!)
gorillaz - Plastic Beach (its about a beach and the sounds are so quirkyabsurd and beautiful...why not??)
Madonna - Ray Of Light (it reminds me of space/the ocean/summer 98....plus its perfection and a fave....must be there!)
goldfrapp - Seventh Tree (that feel of Folktronica is second to none here...and it will match with the summery scope)
&
Sly & The Family Stone - Stand! (uplifting, inspiring FUnky/Soul...nothin quite like it to make you feel loose and free)
in terms of song i never have really bought singles on a whim so if i had only 8 "singles" i dont know if i would choose just 8 songs to play on my desert island
I'm more of a songs person than an albums person (as long as I had my Smiths collection with me I would be happy) so I am only doing songs.
How soon is now? - The Smiths
Hey Joe - Jimi Hendrix
Blind Willie McTell - Bob Dylan
Gimme shelter - The Rolling Stones
Alive - Pearl Jam
Are friends electric - Tubeway Army (Gary Numan)
Dear Mr Fantasy - Traffic
Blind faith - Chase and Status
My usual "top 10" evolves, however the first six on this list are ever present, the other two are current obsessions.:D
