Listening on a deserted island...

With "Lost" premiering on Sept 27, I got to thinking about the character Hugo "Hurley" Reyes and his music player (temporarily overlooking the fact the player somehow never seems to need batteries) and what he might be listening to. Does anyone remember the old "Desert Island Disc" (DID) list people used to keep? You had to pick 10 music recording discs you would want to have were you stranded on a deserted island. There were some caveats from the purists like "No greatest hits!" or "Nothing by Vanilla Ice!" but I don't listen to them. So here are my choices in no particular order:

1) Steers And Stripes / Brooks & Dunn
2) 30 Greatest Hits [Disc 2] / Aretha Franklin
3) World of Our Own / Westlife
4) Whitney / Whitney Houston
5) Keep On Movin' / Soul II Soul
6) Colour By Numbers / Culture Club
7) "The Mission" Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack / Ennio Morricone
8) Miracles / Change
9) Heroes / Andreas Scholl
10) Double [Disc 1] / Roch Voisine

They say that your DID tell alot about you. I published this once and made two new friends. Who knew?
