What are your 'Desert Island Discs'?

[Greg]

Hey everyone!

So being a fairly new moderator on the community I thought it would be a good to get an idea of what music everyone enjoys. 

What better way than to pick your desert island discs?

So it's pretty simple, you are stranded on a desert island with a working CD player- which 5 albums do you have with you? (No greatest hits or compilations!!)

To keep with the 'Desert Island Discs' theme, choose 1 book and 1 luxury item too. 

I'll start us off...
