[ClaRK! Kent]

1) Five complete musical albums.

1. Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde. The most complete album he ever made, possibly the greatest thing ever committed to record.

2. Prince - Purple Rain. People always look at me weird when I say this is underrated, because most in-the-know types like it. It's underrated because it's not in everybody's top 10. The best album made in the 1980s, bar none.

3. The Who - Teenage Wasteland. This'd be worth taking just for Baba O'Reilly, the fact that it's got like a dozen other amazing songs on it as well is just an added bonus really, isn't it?

4. David Bowie - BestofBowie. Proof that his best material wasn't all from the 60s, this fairly recent compilation takes everything from Space Oddity and The Jean Genie to some great cuts from the 'Thin White Duke' period and Heathen, which is his best album in nearly 3 decades.

5. Pixies - Wave of Mutilation. I couldn't live without Pixies, and as much as I hate to go for the compilation, I doubt I could live with only Surfer Rosa, or only Here Comes Your Man, etc. All in one place, yay.

2) Five books (fiction or non-fiction).

1. Jack Kerouac - On the Road. This book changed my life when I was 14. It was weird, to me, that nobody else I knew had read it, because you could read this book and learn how to live. It still touches me every time I read it.

2. Harold Pinter - Plays 1. Curse of the compilations, but it's plays so whatever. The Homecoming, The Birthday Party, The Dumb-Waiter, and others all in one place. One of the greats of 20th century theatre, yay. Plus I could do little scenes when I got bored.

3. Ezra Pound - Selected Poems 1908-1969. Yeah, he was a fascist. But he was also a beautiful, beautiful writer. This collection has basically the whole of the Cantos in it, so yay for that.

4. Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman - Good Omens. This is unashamedly awesome. 'Nuff said.

5. Alan Moore - Watchmen. The most complete comic book/graphic novel ever produced.

3) Three video games (remember you can't play multiplayer).

1. Final Fantasy 6. The series has gone from strength to strength with its graphics, innovations, and suchlike - but for sheer emotion, humour, and playability, 6 is the high-water mark after over a decade now.

2. Suikoden V. I never got around to completing it, but it seemed immense as all Suikoden games are, and let's face it - I'm on a desert island forever, I'm gonna have a chance to play it all at some point.

3. Resident Evil 4. The best survival horror/action game ever made. Metal Gear? Nah.

4) Also, there's one takeaway on the island for food. What would it be or which country's cuisine would it serve?

Hmm, tough one. Have to go for Pizza because you can have as many varied toppings as you like and that's gonna be as close as you'll get to variety.

I echo whoever it was who said we should be able to choose DVDs/films too.
