      Eight tracks for a desert island

      You are cast away on a desert island. Choose eight tracks, one book and one luxury, say why if you like, and share the link.

      Who is being cast away?
      Your eight tracks

      Search for each track and pick the right version; its listen link is added for you. If a track does not turn up, paste its link into the same box, or type the title and artist yourself. Reasons are optional.

      One book

      You already have the Bible and the complete works of Shakespeare.

      One luxury

      Something of no practical use for escaping or calling for help.
