He performed at two of the best concerts I\u2019ve ever seen, at Preston Guild Hall and Newcastle. Although this was mainly because he is an incredible, charismatic performer, it was also because I was actually close to him. This was in the days before stadium gigs and video screens, when you could run to the front of the hall and kid yourself he was looking at you.It was going to be <strong><em>Drive in Saturday<\/em><\/strong> off the Aladdin Sane album but a last minute change of heart means my first choice is Life on Mars.\u00a0\u00a0It reminds me of sixth form college and the years just before we all left for various universities and colleges around the country. There\u2019s always a frisson of excitement when I hear it. Pity all those years can\u2019t come back.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/v--IqqusnNQ\">David Bowie,Life on Mars<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pharrell Williams is the most contemporary artist on my list, although the track I\u2019ve chosen is from the nineties when he was with N.E.R.D. I think his video with Robin Thicke for Blurred Lines became as notorious as \u00a0The Stranglers&#8217; performance with strippers in the seventies. I seem to recall being conflicted, then. I was annoyed that the Students&#8217; Union had banned The Stranglers from playing Langwith, although at the same time outraged by the band&#8217;s attitude to women. I saw Hugh Cornwell at Glastonbury a few years ago playing with an excellent young female guitarist. There were just the two of them. How things change. I think student unions banned Blurred Lines from being played on campuses but it hasn\u2019t harmed Pharrell\u2019s success. It was a good strategy to write a child-friendly feel-good song by way of redemption, I guess. Last time I chose White Lines and Rapper\u2019s delight, this time I\u2019ve chosen <strong><em>Rock Star<\/em><\/strong>, \u00a0as my hip hop track of choice. He did a great version with Shay Haley of N.E.R.D at the Manchester Arena last year.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qh9WuPzOjlI&amp;feature=player_embedded\">N.E.R.D, Rock Star<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1195\" style=\"width: 294px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lynnsteinson.com:\/home\/img_3177\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1195\"><img title = \"[Tags]Guilt\"loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1195\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1195\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lynnsteinson.com:\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3177-284x300.jpg\"alt = \"Guilt by Lynn Steinsonimages My Desert Island Discs\" width=\"284\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lynnsteinson.com:\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3177-284x300.jpg 284w, https:\/\/www.lynnsteinson.com:\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3177-768x811.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lynnsteinson.com:\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3177-474x500.jpg 474w, https:\/\/www.lynnsteinson.com:\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3177.jpg 920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 284px) 100vw, 284px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1195\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ray Davies with the cast of Sunny Afternoon<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I had to reject Start Me Up because I have heard it played at Trump rallies and I really do not want to have any memories stirred of that vile man while I am on my island. I\u2019m sure it\u2019s no more The Stones\u2019 fault than it is Mick Jagger\u2019s responsibility that his ex-wife has married Rupert Murdoch, but I just don\u2019t want to be reminded. Tumbling Dice reminds me of many Langwith discos but it is going to be passed over in favour of fellow Londoners, The Kinks, and <strong><em>You Really Got Me<\/em><\/strong>. I remember this from the first time round and still have the album \u2018The Well Respected Kinks\u201d although it jumps along now. It has travelled well in time and still excites in Davies\u2019 musical Sunny Afternoon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-2GmzyeeXnQ\">Kinks, You Really Got Me<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I have seen the tribute band Doors Alive many times over the last eight years (fourteen to be precise). Their front man Willy Scott, whose impression of Jim Morrison was so mesmerising, has now left. I guess it\u2019s hard to keep a tribute band going when you are older than the lead singer was when he died. I think my enthusiasm for the band has waned too. So I think I will leave The Doors out this time. Instead there\u2019s a band that represents all things Mancunian to me. Oasis\u2019 music is played at every Manchester City home match. It\u2019s a difficult choice to make when there are so many good songs which stir up some great memories, but I think it will be <strong><em>Don\u2019t Look Back In Anger <\/em><\/strong>as my fourth record<strong><em>. <\/em><\/strong>Noel Gallagher wrote it in just 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=r8OipmKFDeM\">Oasis, Don&#8217;t Look Back In Anger<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I still love the Marvyn Gaye and Tammy Terrell song, You\u2019re All I Need To Get By. They really sound like they mean it, but I\u2019m going to replace this track with a Beatles&#8217; song. I remember being in Cuba sometime during the 90s. Paul McCartney had been there a month before on holiday. Unfortunately this meant some of the musicians\u00a0in Santiago de Cuba had to be cajoled into playing traditional Cuban music instead of Yesterday. In Camag\u00fcey I remember watching a local guy playing a copy of the White Album on the roof terrace of a caf\u00e9. He was holding the record cover as if it was sacred. He had a look of rapture on his face, and he kept looking at me as if to say, \u2018Isn\u2019t this just amazing?\u2019 I guess Cuba got Beatlemania 30 years after most of the world. <strong><em> In My Life,<\/em><\/strong> sung by John Lennon is my fifth choice. It seems to sum up my life up as well. Probably everyone\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-eCh3y5VROM\">The Beatles, In My Life<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I like to listen to local music when I travel. Unfortunately my visit to Ali Farque Toure\u2019s caf\u00e9 on the banks of the River Niger in Mali took place some months after he died. I don\u2019t actually remember hearing much music being played in Mali so I discovered most of it in Manchester.\u00a0I saw an amazing concert by electronic Kora players, Ba Cissiko. Africa Express, a tour of artists from the continent put together my Daman Albarne, a few years ago was an incredible night. The album Mali Music, which he collaborated on, is magical. My sixth choice, however, is from East Africa. Teddy Afro singing Menelik from the album Tikur Sew. It is about King Menelik who fought and beat the Italians in the nineteenth century. Ethiopia is the only African state that has not been colonised, a fascinating place. I came across this song when I was putting together a slide show of my Ethiopian holiday photographs\u00a0and\u00a0was searching for atmospheric\u00a0music. I also came across a video with a Teddy Afro sound track commemorating 28 Ethiopians who had been brutally executed on a beach in Libya by ISIS\/Daeesh. It was incredibly moving, but not something I can ever watch again. I don\u2019t think Facebook ever offered the option of uploading an Ethiopian flag in solidarity, but then I don\u2019t think there was much coverage of the atrocity in the European press at all.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jv8xDmSuAMQ\">Teddy Afro, Menelik<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m conscious there are no women on my new list. It\u2019s as masculine as the Labour Party nominations for city mayors. I do like lots of women singers but they just have not made my short list&#8230;and I cannot leave the next guy out. I\u2019ve always liked The Jam, Style Council and Paul Weller. <strong><em>You Do Something To Me<\/em><\/strong> always does. I never tire of it. Like Bowie, he has my respect for turning down any honours from our corrupt system. Come to think of it, that\u2019s another reason for rejecting The Stones. His music has echoed in my life ever since I took my first job teaching French. That\u2019s something my recent friends might not know about me &#8211; there\u2019s a small group of people in Essex who know me as Mademoiselle.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tM1rSTOs7Zs&amp;feature=player_embedded\">Paul Weller, You Do Something To Me<\/a><\/p>\n<p>My last choice is another Manchester band and I am torn between Joy Division\u2019s Love Will\u00a0Tear us Apart and New Order\u2019s Blue Monday. I tingle each time I hear their opening bars. My favourite film is 24 Hour Party People about Tony Wilson and Factory records starring Steve Coogan. You can sit in a booth in Manchester Library and watch it for free with a cup of coffee and a cake. Now that\u2019s my kind of city! I have been lucky enough to see both New Order and Peter Hook\u2019s The Light this year. What a revelation Hook\u2019s voice is. Very powerful. I like all versions of the records but, as I have to choose, my eighth and final record will be Joy Division\u2019s <strong><em>Love Will\u00a0Tear Us Apart<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zuuObGsB0No&amp;feature=player_embedded\">Joy Division, Love Will Tear Us Apart<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve turned down Bob Marley, Dolly Parton, Mavis Staples, The Temptations, Beyonce, James Taylor, Ricky Lee Jones, R.E.M, Lou Reed, Astrud Gilberto, Labi Siffre, Idris Elba, Frank Sinatra, Buena Vista Social Club and The Specials to name but a few. Music has been in my life since I remember listening to the Light Service on the wireless and, later, Radio Caroline on my transistor radio. I can&#8217;t imagine life without the thrill of a familiar record, the anticipation of a concert. I&#8217;ve been very lucky to have had the chance to enjoy so much live music. I remember in the early nineties spending New Year&#8217;s Eve on a boat in San Fransisco Bay. Every song they played seemed to be by a\u00a0Manchester band. It made me realise how much this part of the UK, with Liverpool, has influenced modern music.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1203\" style=\"width: 245px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lynnsteinson.com:\/home\/img_3185-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1203\"><img title = \"[Tags]Guilt\"loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1203\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1203\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lynnsteinson.com:\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3185-1.jpg\"alt = \"Guilt by Lynn Steinsonimages My Desert Island Discs\" width=\"235\" height=\"293\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1203\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Not this time.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Although I have shelves of novels I always enjoy a good biography or diaries. My favourite book used to be The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov but\u00a0I would always relish an autobiography more than magical realism these days. Oloadah Equiano, Chris Mullin and Alistair Darling spring to mind. I suspect I\u2019m intrigued about people\u2019s lives and what makes people tick. However, I am going to choose a text book. I wondered if solitude on a desert island might motivate me to read and master Das Kapital, but I suspect it would not have been finished (or maybe started) by the time I was rescued.\u00a0My book would be another memory of York University, Erving Goffman\u2019s <em><strong>The<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<strong><em>Presentation of Self in Everyday Life<\/em><\/strong>, on which most of Laurie Taylor\u2019s lectures seemed to be based.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lynnsteinson.com:\/home\/img_3183\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1196\"><img title = \"[Tags]Guilt\"loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1196 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lynnsteinson.com:\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3183-300x280.jpg\"alt = \"Guilt by Lynn Steinsonimages My Desert Island Discs\" width=\"300\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lynnsteinson.com:\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3183-300x280.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lynnsteinson.com:\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3183-768x716.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lynnsteinson.com:\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3183-1024x954.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lynnsteinson.com:\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3183-500x466.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I had wondered about having a supply of Beech\u2019s rose and violet creams as my luxury item, \u00a0but they might melt in the sun.
