well, yeah, pretty "sophisticated" list though not ALL classical. 

great research idea, ruth!  rates with one of my colleagues' piece in which he analyzed the effect of being crazy on success in U.S. elections, with the indicator of craziness being references on the internet using terms like "idiot" and "bats**t" (his phrasing for publication).    http://politicalscience.case.edu/crazy_train.pdf   

but couldn't there be an age factor?  Just a bit younger and there really should be some Stones or The Who.  Right?  Or maybe a what-it-would-be-like-to-be-stuck-on-an-island factor?  Not sure if I'd stick to my basic preference for loud rock or not, though I suspect I'd get tired of nature pretty quick.  my guess is i'd go real eclectic actually.  Maximize variety once I'm stuck on the same old island for a long time...  Anyway, would 40-year-old docs really go classical???

cheers,
joe

Shall we predict his picks? One might think he’d take the Black Report, but he’s probably memorised that.
