I told my friend that she already had a copy (Thank you, Dropbox.) and she was confused. She had assumed that my Desert Island Disc was a combination of music by various artists.
This got me thinking. What would be on my disc? To iTunes and my list of music.
I was able to get it down to 57.
Now to get it down to 20.
What would you keep? What would you remove?
What ends up on the disc for my friend?
The following music is in alpha order by artist. I tried not to duplicate artists. Though, Sia, Morrissey, and Radiohead make it on the the list twice in different ways.
