Island with Zappa on it.

... what Frank Zappa chose for Castaway's Choice in 1989 (the US version of Desert Island Discs, I assume):
• Octandre by Edgard Varese
• The Royal March from L'Histoire du Soldat by Igor Stravinsky
• The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky
• Third Piano Concerto, first movement by Bela Bartok. (FZ: ``I think it is one of the most beautiful melodies ever written.'')
• Stolen Moments by Oliver Nelson
• Three Hours Past Midnight by Johnny Guitar Watson(which FZ would save if only allowed one)
• Can I Come Over Tonight by The Velours
• Bagatelles for String Quartet by Anton Webern
• Symphony, Opus 21 by Anton Webern

Shamelessly stolen from Belgianwaffle's blog so I don't lose it. Thanks Mr Jones.
