Just one letter of the alphabet....

[Uncle Leo]

Bit of a twist on Desert Island Discs here. You're stuck on the proverbial desert island, but can only take music by artists all beginning with the same letter. So if you go for 'Q' that'd be, for example, Queen, Queens of the Stone Age, Queensryche and, erm, Eoghan Quigg.

You're also limited to music you currently own. So no picking 'T' in order to get your hands on Take That's back catalogue.

'S' was a decent runner, what with The Smiths, Bruce Springsteen, Suede, Supergrass, Stone Roses and Dusty Springfield.

However, I'm taking 'B' with me, which means: David Bowie, The Beatles, Blur, British Sea Power, Bjork, Billy Bragg, VV Brown and I'm sure one or two others that have slipped my mind.

I don't much fancy being stuck on a desert island, but that lot will help...

However, I'm taking 'B' with me, which means: David Bowie, The Beatles, Blur, British Sea Power, Bjork, Billy Bragg, VV Brown and I'm sure one or two others that have slipped my mind.

One or two being Blondie, Beastie Boys and Basement Jaxx. It gets better!

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Wow. Don't think i could do choose, I 'd always be thinking about the ones I'd left behind.

I'll say B for now (Bright Eyes, Breeders, Blur, Beatles, Belle & Seb, Beck, Bowie, Basement Jaxx, Beastie Boys) but i'll probably change my mind!
