What is the song you ridiculously listen to all the time, but that strangely you wouldn't pick to support you on the deserted island?

There are many, but this is one:

This is one of my favourites amongst EC's later output. But if I'd play it on a desert island it'd make me want to shoot myself because it sounds so sad.

And the way the basket ball smashes itself at the beginning of the video gives me the creeps every single time I watch it.

Rectifier! This is much like Olivier's choice. I listen to this while riding my bike, K.I.T.T. almost every day.

It's a great, energetic, scary soundtrack. Haven't seen the movie. Another wonderfully scary soundtrack is Planet of the Apes by Danny Elfman.

Ugo, My Father's Eyes is one of my favourites by EC.

@ Harmono: so you like EC as well, eh?

What other songs of him do you like?

Here's another something I play very often, but I'd never bring on a desert island as I wouldn't enjoy it at all.

Pilgrim is a good album but I propably like the old stuff more. Songs like Lay down Sally, Cocaine and Slow Down Linda. Unplugged is very good.

If I were on a deserted island I'd definitely take Amarok with me.
Whenever I feel depressed or unhappy I'll listen to that and I'm the happiest person alive.
