In terms of albums:
Kate Bush- Hounds Of Love Alanis Morrisette- Jagged Little Pill Florence + The Machine- Lungs Lily Allen- Alright Still The Smiths- Louder Than Bombs Kylie Minogue- Fever Ellie Goulding- Halcyon Katy Perry- Teenage Dream In terms of songs i don't think i could narrow it down so the album would have to suffice

OK, just off the top of my head, at nearly 11 o'clock at night...
Wild West Hero - ELO Walk on By (long version) - The Stranglers This Woman's Work - Kate Bush Fire and Rain - James Taylor Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin (I know, it's such a cliche!) Jolene - Mindy Smith Rule the World - Take That Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now - The Smiths And if the complete Harry Potter series was available in one huge book, I'd also join the poster above and have that. |

I did mean albums - so much more content than a mere single but as most have got singles as well, then that will be permissable![]() Yes, good idea re a book or set of books, and don't forget, you could have pop or classical albums They've got to last you for years and years and years, and if you are rescued, I bet the first thing you'll do is to throw those albums into the sea

I've wanted to read his dark materials since they stopped making the golden compass series but my friend who I was going to borrow it off says it would be too complicated for me
![]() Never seen the appeal of wuthering heights myself ![]() We're turning the music forum into a book one ![]() And my two loves combined Music and books 1 often leads to the other (kate's wuthering heights for example also she led me to Ulysees which not so great )

Do you mean the film series The Golden Compass is the US title for the first book in the HDM series Northern Lights. And i'd say go for it i love HP but think HDM is infinitely more interesting and a much more Exhilarating read and its not all too complicated it does require your attention but its pretty easy
And my two loves combined Music and books 1 often leads to the other (kate's wuthering heights for example also she led me to Ulysees which not so great )Woah there - do you realise you just said this series is better than harry potter 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. |
