10 Other cds that I'd take to the Desert Island instead of chocolate

Up-Right Said Fred

Just another fun cd. I love I'm Too Sexy -pure laughs and Don't Talk, Just Kiss, makes me want to find someone and have a smoochfest. And, who can forget Deeply Dippy?

The Simpsons Sing the Blues-

don't know why, just a hoot I guess. C'mon everyone, do The Bartman !

60 Minutes with Zappacosta

- A great Canadian singer. Deserves to be better known worldwide.
Personal faves are I Think About You, Passion and We Should Be Lovers.

The Hits - Garth Brooks

thanks to Garth I decided that Country music IS cool. This has all his early hits. My faves?? Callin' Baton Rouge and Shameless - a remake of the Billy Joel song. AND who can forget Friends in Low Places ?

Eric Carmen's Greatest Hits

- This guy is terrific. One of my favourite songs when I was a teenybopper was Change of Heart . Now I love other songs like Make Me Lose Control and That's Rock and Roll.

Neil Diamond- His 12 Greatest Hits

This one goes back a long, long way, back to the farm. I used to listen to this while I did dishes. These may be Neil's best songs. Particular faves include Shilo , Cracklin' Rosie and Brooklyn Roads . One of my happiest memories is taking my mum and my sister to see Neil in concert in Edmonton.

Barry Manilow- Greatest Hits The Platinum Collection

- Laugh if you will, but I think Barry is cool. I'll still never forget his fabulous concert that I went to in Grade 11 with my friends. It was my first concert where I went with my friends and Mum and Dad didn't go with me! My favourite song is still Mandy .

Cliff Richard - 1980's

Okay...I know...after Barry Manilow, and now Cliff I have probably lost all credibility...right? Well, I love Cliff. I always have. My favourites are Never Say Die, Pretty One and Ocean Deep .

Now That's What I Call Music! - 42

If I'm allowed to take both cds, great, if not, I'll take cd 2. It has Robbie Williams-Strong , Blur-Tender , and The Divine Comedy's National Express. The latter sounds like a old swing type of song, but the lyrics are so nasty. If it doesn't break the rules to take the first cd too, it has Cher's Believe , and the ABBA Tribute- Thank Abba for the Music. Cool stuff.
