Your Desert Island ‘Gotta Haves’

In the middle of a romantic cruise, the ship takes on water and sinks. Fortunately, you’re a great swimmer, so you make it to a deserted island. With no hope of being rescued for a while, you dream your favorite music. Here’s our list of ‘Desert Island’ songs that will keep you alive till help arrives.

“Stairway to Heaven” has got to be on this list, if only for nostalgic reasons. The song will take you back to your first high school dance.

“Take Me Home” by Phil Collins is a haunting tune that will lift your spirits and remind you that you have a lot to look forward to; plus the drums arrangement is exceptional.

“Back in Black” by AC/DC will let you play the air guitar on the beach, and it’s one of the best songs from your favorite group.

“All Along the Watchtower” by Jimi Hendrix is the textbook 60s song that reminds you just how talented Jimi was and the production still stands up to scrutiny today.

“Don’t Stop Believin” by Journey is the motivation song that will keep you strong until that low finish plane spots your S.O.S on the beach.
