I've been thinking about how "desert island" can be open to some interpretation. Does it mean your all-time favorites? Does it mean, what would you want to hear before you die? Or maybe, you're in the perfect setting and you want music to relax to? These could all be very different lists, although for me, I kind of considered all three.


Yeah, it could be interpreted in many different ways. For example, I like a lot of sad songs, but if I was trapped in isolation it would be more constructive to listen to happy songs, since music is all you'd have that connects you to the rest of humanity. It depends if you are with other people or alone or in good health or dying.

The radio station posted their final list: 885 Desert Island Songs

Only one of my picks made it. Hmm, I wonder if that's cuz I didn't vote?

It is interesting that Hallelujah was mentioned the most in this thread and it came out #2 in the countdown. 3 versions of the song showed up overall.
