    As the 'Ball & Chain' and your truly are self isolating, I'm fed up reading, telly watching I'm spending too much time whiling away the hours on here and listening to my CD collection. So I've spent a few minutes doing my ten 'Desert Island Discs'. I know it's not football, but what the hell. Anybody else want to waste sometime concocting theirs.

    Like a Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan
    Sgt. Peppper - The Beatles
    O Mio Bambino Caro - Maria Callas
    The World Turned upside down - Billy Bragg
    House of the Rising Sun - The Animals
    Amsterdam - Jacques Brel or Bowie
    Alleluia - Leonard Cohen
    Crossroad Blues - Robert Johnson
    E Lucevan Le Stella - Andrea Boccelli
    Thunder Road - Bruce Springsteen

    I could have done another dozen lists of ten, but I'm getting bored.

    Hookey Fella & Stephen Dawson Not sure if you're allowed two by the same artist, if so I may have had the whole back catalogue of Bob Dylan.

    T'other half (she made me do this, a Reds ST holder but not a member on here...too soppy for me these songs)

    A little time - Beautiful South
    What's up - 4 non blondes
    Where do you go to my lovely - Peter Sarstedt
    Over the Rainbow - Eva Cassidy
    Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
    I have nothing - Whitney Houston
    Endless Love - Diana Ross
    Piano man - Billy Joel
    When I need you - Leo Sayer
    How deep is your love - Bee Gees

    It would be interesting to see those who've posted, if they put on their other halves selections, see how much different your tastes in music are.
    We are in self isolation at the moment and arguing about what to watch on youtube!
