Queen and Pink Floyd make Desert Island Discs top 10

Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and Pink Floyd's 'Comfortably Numb' made the top ten tracks as voted by the listeners of BBC Radio 4's 'Desert Island Discs' programme. They reached the No 4 and No 5 spots respectively. 

The tracks feature amongst 100 tracks that the listeners would themselves choose to take with them if there were ever stranded on a mythical desert island.

Other rock and pop acts that feature in the chart include Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Kinks, and Bob Dylan.

More recently released tracks that featured include David Bowie's 'Life on Mars?' (No 47), Elbow's 'One Day Like This' (No 49), The Smiths' 'There is a Light That Never Goes Out' (No 65), Pulp's 'Common People (No 86) and The Undertones' 'Teenage Kicks' (No 89). Kate Bush's 'Wuthering Heights' came in at No 99.

Unsurprisingly, most of the 100 tracks were classical pieces, with the No 1 spot taken by Ralph Vaughan Williams' 'The Lark Ascending', which you can listen to below:
