Desert Island Discs

Seeing as it is on Radio Ireland now, and I am bored watching herself do a school reunion on Zoom, we may as well give it a go!

You are normally given the complete works of Shakespeare and the Bible, but, thankfully, you can usually swap these for the works of another writer of importance and another work of philosophy or faith that is important to you. On ye go, I will keep changing mine until I get respectable drunk enough not to care. Try and give reasons, that's the interest.  Edit: Drums, regarding our earlier discussion, this is very self-indulgent and almost certainly narcissistic.

Could easily put up another 8 songs.  Tough choices and no Massive attack or Van Morrisson or Neil Young or a classic you got the love by Source ruined by Florence and the Machine.

Great choices, but I wasn't expecting Billy Ocean.

It's nearly impossible to pick a list of songs but I'll give it a go....

Cast No Shadow - Oasis
The Temptation of Adam - Josh Ritter
Sound of Silence - Disturbed
Never Let Me Down Again (live version) - Depeche Mode
Bad (live version) - U2
Song for Ireland - Luke Kelly
Bloodbuzz Ohio - The National
Thousands are Sailing - The Pogues

The luxury item would be one of those wind up radios that doesn't require a battery, and I'll have to get back to ye on the book.

Great shout Paulie esp Bloodbuzz Ohio and the radio.  Love the version from Other Voices.

Even though Boxer is my favourite album of theirs, that's my favourite song. Brilliant.
