What song would you keep?

Post by Aquila Rossa »

Let's say 1984 happened and the The Ministry Of Truth thought police turned up to confiscate your music collection. You have time to hide just one song from them. What would it be?

For me it would be Echoes by Pink Floyd

Interesting, a twisted version of 'Desert Island Disc'.

Following the Porcupine Tree theme, I was thinking about Anesthetize, maybe for length.


But actually it'd probably be this:




Maybe not my absolute favourite song ever, but if I needed one song for the rest of my life to remind me why music is good, this could be it.

Nostalgic kick; it was the first Cure song i ever figured out by ear and taught myself to play about 20 years ago. Plus... i was a massive fan of The Crow going through a mid teens Goth phase haha.
Having seen them play it live last year, it's a totally sustained choice.

Anything by Bob Dylan. Maybe one of the Knopfler produced jobbies.

Actually sounds like Bon is singing from experience.

Great great choice! Probably Floyd for me too but Dogs from Animals.
