See the following for more on the concept from the BBC website : http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/factual/desertislanddiscs.shtml My choices are as follows: Music 1. Whole of the Moon (the Waterboys) 2. Teenage Kicks (The Undertones) 3. The one I love (REM) 4. Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me) Cockney Rebel 5. Bohemian Like You (Dandy Worhols) 6. Yellow (Coldplay) 7. Creep (Radiohead) 8. Vienna (Ultravox) 9. Book: Complete works of Robert Burns 10. Luxury Item: Golf clubs (and balls of course) I can just imagine trying to land a golf ball on Home Plate from where Spirit is now (I reckon a 7 iron ought to do it) Who wants to be next with their list?

Beautiful topic SkyeLab

For that 8 - records (CD's) my choice is:
Vangelis - Antarctica
REM – Loosing My Religion
Beethoven - 9th Symphony
Sade – No Ordinary Love
ABBA – I Had I Dream
Annie Lennox – Why
Metallica – Nothing Else Matters
Vangelis - Chariots Of Fire

Book:
One book of my national poetry...including poem: Santa Maria della Salute - Laza Kostic... you can Google for it...if you are interested...

...and finally that luxury item would be my "Orion" 4.5" short Tube Newton Reflector telescope...I would love to watch Earth, Jupiter, Saturn and everything else from good dark place with no electric lights on the hole planet...

Of course if I would have a choice on that luxury item I would carry a MEADE 16" LX200 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope which I unfortunately don’t have yet...

this one:
