5. If I was stranded on a desert island

I would just want to listen to exotica, like Martin Denny and Les Baxter type stuff...music to fit the mood, you know? I could always sing my favorite songs to myself already and besides I can't picture myself listening to the Buzzcocks or the Stranglers while making a raft out of hollowed out coconuts! :)
