If you were to be stranded on a desert island and restricted to only 10 tracks, what would you choose? My list, subject to change, is below:
1. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
2. Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
3. Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven
4. Led Zeppelin - Heartbreaker
5. Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell
6. The Eels - Mr E's Beautiful Blues
7. Bruce Springsteen - Tenth Avenue Freeze Out
8. Frank Zappa - Muffin Man
9. Dire Straits - Money For Nothing
10. Fleetwood Mac - Albatross
In no particular order:
Led Zeppelin -- ''The Rain Song''
The Strokes -- ''12:51''
Mozart -- ''Exultate Jubilate'' (sung by, I think, Inessa Galante)
Mozart -- First movement of Symphony #25
Jethro Tull -- ''Thick as a Brick''
Belle and Sebastian -- ''The Model''
JS Bach -- Brandenburg Concerto #6, the second bit
JS Bach -- Fugue in G minor
ELO's version of ''In the Hall of the Mountain King''
Queen -- ''Bohemian Rhapsody'' (obligatory, n'est-ce pas?)
Of course, ''The Message'' by Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five may have to appear in lieu of something else, as the second movement of Beethoven's 7th might also. Maybe Tchaikovsky's 3rd (I think 😳) piano concerto. Or ''Du Hast'' by Rammstein (though if I could understand the lyrics that might change 😕).

JS Bach -- ...[text shortened]... r ''Du Hast'' by Rammstein (though if I could understand the lyrics that might change 😕).
Every time I listen to this song I am reminded of that other well known classic of popular music: "In the jungle, the mighty jungle...".
An uncanny resemblance.
in no order, and 10 is no way enough!...
iron maiden-hallowed be they name
iron maiden-the trooper
AC/DC-back in black
AC/DC-Hells Bells
led zepplin-stariway to heaven

jimi hendrix-all along the watchtower
guns n' roses-knocking on heavens door
(two bob dylan covers?!? 😵)
metallica-fade to black
joe satriani-flying in a blue dream
and RC-it's a play on the german wedding vows-du hast is "you have", while due hastt is "you hate", or someting along those lines...tis kinda confusing, but it all makes sense in german, apparently...
