It would be tricky wouldn't it.
Virginia Plain, Sultans Of Swing, Move It, Bohemian Like You, Jessica, Peter Gunn, Take Five, Can't You Hear Me Knocking
It would change over time, hard to say.
Today's would be Cure - close to me, Berlioz-symphonie fantastique, Mendelssohn - Fingal's cave overture, Dylan - just like a woman, Joni Mitchell- River, will Smith and jazzy Jeff - summertime, jurassic 5 - concrete schoolyard and Rodrigo's guitar concerto.
Tomorrow might be different.
When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You - Marvin Gaye
Marquee Moon - Television
212 - Azealia Banks
Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Inner Life/Jocelyn Brown
Abbey Road medley - The Beatles
God Save the Queen - Sex Pistols
Night Life - Willie Nelson
Te Agradezco Pero No - Alejandro Sanz y Shakira
That's 50/50 songs that have some personal meaning and songs I just would always want to be able to hear. I suppose if you were doing real life DID you'd veer toward the former.
I think animate luxuries are verboten to prevent spouses/partners being chosen.
There is the precedent of Michael Palin in taxidermy.
#74 I love the Abbey Road medley Popstar. It's my favourite Beatles album. Far better in my view than Pepper
Has anybody ever swapped the bible for another text? Think I would prefer the I Ching
Yes, occasionally. I remember someone asking for the Bhagavad Gita instead.
And a few people have just rejected the religious text entirely - I remember Matt Lucas was one.
In principle, I agree with Matt, but if I were to take spiritual/philosophical solace along, the I Ching or Tao te Ching would do
Jewish guests are given the Torah, Muslim ones the Qu'ran, and I assume the same applies to adherents of other faiths as well, though I can't think of any offhand.
Michael Mansfield tried to swap the bible for something else but was told that wasn't allowed. Castaways don't have to take the religious text, but can't swap.
That noted authority, Google, suggests he ended up with The Rights of Man by Thomas Paine.

41:50 - doesn't sound like it (though I didn't go to the very end)
Out of interest Popstar, what do you consider is included in the medley. All of Side 2? Everything starting with Because? The five tracks from Money through to Bathroom Window (i.e. all the first ‘joined’ tracks), everything except Her Majesty? Is there in fact a generally accepted definition?
EDIT: ok just checked Wiki which reckons You Never Give Me Your Money through to The End. Which I guess makes sense.
I remember someone unexpected like Pam Ayers or Beryl Cook choosing Stockhausen and the sound of worms eating.
Great album.
