Forgot my own eight. Not easy even if you are allowed albums rather than tracks. A lot of killing two birds with one stone here ..
Beauty Queen - For Your Pleasure
Moonlight Mile - Sticky Fingers
Close To The Edge - Yessongs
Cop Shoot Cop - Spritiualized RAH
Like A Rolling Stone - Spirit of 76
Walk With Me - Translinear Light (Alice Coltrane)
Subterranean Homesick Alien - Radiodread (Junior Jazz)
Bach Cello Suites - Tortelier
EDIT forgot Small Hours from "One World" that's going to have to cover folk, dub and ambient for me and so the Radiodread track has to go.
EDIT #2: Forgot Hazey Jane I from "Bryter Layter". That might trump the Spiritualized tune.
Luxury? A piano. Presumably I would have plenty of time to learn how to play it and it could double as a sideboard and wind break!
EDIT forgot the book? - A Wodehouse compendium probably or James Robert Baker's "Boy Wonder" which is an epic and highly comedic and somewhat incorrect Hollywood satire. Something funny and episodic at any rate.
