The LFW Desert Island Discs Thread 12:46 - Nov 17 with 28726 viewsBrianMcCarthy

Post any one of your eight Desert Island Discs. Only one per post for arrowing purposes. Eight posts not just allowed, but encouraged.

I haven't decided on my full eight yet, but this is definitely one of them.

Dylan is one I used to love to hate, but gradually his songs worked their way into my head. First with a bit of grudging acceptance and then eventually realisation that awful lot are absolute gems.

Unfortunately these days , kids seem to be so boxed off into one genre of music they just don't open themselves up to all they can listen to. Always tried to open my ears to all, and back in the 70's The Brothers Johnson were on it. Still sounds fresh

Introduced to this at an early age by my Jazz loving Uncle, who undoubtedly influenced me to have a wide taste in music.

An album called “Love” by a band called “Amen Dunes”.

A numbed, narcotic soupy bliss - without the narcotics.

Absolutely wonderful.

Most recent album, Freedom, is also IMMENSE.

Its a cruel thread and a challenge too, I could have picked just about anything from Hendrix last night If I was picking 8 songs tonight they'd be different to last night.
My I-Pad is littered with music that I could have stuck on this thread I almost put Woody Guthrie's 'This Land is Your Land' or something from Joe Brown and the Bruvvers Cant understand why I didn't put a Dubliners track on this thread either or Dylan or Wishbone Ash, Frank Sinatra I'd definitely stick a Ray Charles track on next time


Its a challenge

My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

Means so much to me: played at a memorial service for a friend and colleague getting blown up in a plane over Niger; playing in my car in 1986 coming away from Wembley; first seeing Local Hero on a plane coming home after a long stint away on the other side of the world.

Funny you say that, with my kids it's the exact opposite.

When I was a teenager you were a punk or a soulboy or whatever and that was it.Rock fans really, really hated disco. If you were a boy you sure as hell didn't say you liked Abba unless you were already screamingly camp. And old stuff was by definition cr*p (I too loved to hate Dylan until I really listen cos I was bored of has-beens telling me how great the 60s were. Ditto Beatles, actually)

Now it's all on the net and my kids listen to anything from any era and either like it or don't. Often it's a cover version playing about with the genre - early Bowie done as Atlantic soul or whatever.
