http://www.listsofbests.com/list/6735 Nick Hornby is an author whose book High Fidelity became a bible for all men who’ve ever catalogued their record collections in alphabetical order or agonised over their own Desert Island Discs choices. (As well as a great flick with Jon Cusack) Here are the 8 selections he chose while appearing on the BBC’s DESERT ISLAND DISCS radio programme and the albums from which they came. (Note: In the show, you are allowed to select only 8 songs to have with you on an inaccessible island. You are also permitted 1 “luxury” item. Hornby wisely broke the law by making his luxury item an iPod. ) 1. 'Kitty's Back' Bruce Springsteen 2. 'You Wear It Well' Rod Stewart 3. 'Complainte pour Ste Catherine' Performer Kate and Anna McGarrigle 4. 'The Love You Save Jackson Five 5. 'Fatou Yo' Toure Kunda 6. 'Night Ride Home' Joni Mitchell 7. 'My heart is the Bums on the Street' Marah 8. 'Going Back to Cali' LL Cool J Record: Kitty's Back Book: Barnaby Rudge - Charles Dickens Luxury: I pod - a mp3 player.
