Desert Island Discs

Anything they don't play on Radio 1

Had this question on my old website, it's a good one

Mine would be:

Anything and everything by the following: Garth Brooks, Billy Joel, Van Morrison, Crowded House, Eddi Reader

Individualy:

Ryan Adams--Gold
Sarah Maclachlin--Surfacing
The Dixie Chicks--Wide Open Spaces
Karen Matheson--The Dreaming Sea
David Gray--White Ladder
Norah Jones-- Come away with me
Heather Nova--Siren
and Alanis Morrissette--Jagged Little Pill (used to be at the top, than I got over it)

Am I too indecisive, lol?
