Desert Island Discs: Qtr 1 2008

Posted by: Mr Underhill on 05 May 2008

Rather than list what you are listening to right now - what have you listened to MOST over the first three months of 2008?

What have you kept returning to / couldn't stop playing?

Top 5 Discs?

For me:

1. Eagles - Long Road To Eden
2. Newton Faulkner - Hand Built by Robots
3. Bryn Trefel - Simple Gifts
4. John Fogarty - Revival
5. Moulin Rouge - Soundtrack.

1st three months takes us up to end of March.
HMHB CSI:A wasn't released until 28 April!

You can't have given that three months worth of playing,
unless you own a Tardis Eek, can you?

I did have an early copy of Blue Badge Abuser, but you're right, of course. I got my dates mixed up and was thinking from the beginning of the year until today. I do own a Tardis, but it is broken at the moment and the Tardis repair man is on holiday. So what other album did I play a lot in the first three months of the year - probably this
