As the title says. You are stranded on SMB Island with no hope of rescue. Luckily you have a device that will allow you to download five pieces of music and one book which will remain with you from that day onwards until the day you die. The device will never run out of power but once you have made your six choices that’s it. It can’t be changed.
What would be your choices? Mine, in no particular order

2112 - Rush (It counts as one song to me)
The Planet Suite - Holtz
Pastoral Symphony - Beethoven
For Those About To Rock (We Salute You) - AC/DC
Eton Rifles - The Jam

Book - George Orwell 1984

Over to you’s
 


Off the top of my head, in any order;
This is the sea. Waterboys.
Positively 4th street. Bob whats his name.
Astral weeks. Grumpy old Irishman.
Sarah. Fleetwood mac.
Gimme shelter. Stones.

Book. Pride and Prejudice.

Edit. First reserve if one of those don't make it = Ace of hearts. Chris Rea.

4 great songs mate - never heard of the second one though. As you obviously have good taste, I'll check it out.
