From Mahler to Neil Young.

Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters shares his castaway choices with Kirsty Young.

Despite huge critical and commercial success, Roger walked away from the group in 1985 and years of acrimony followed.

They were reunited for one final performance, 20 years later, for Live 8. It was a moment many of their fans thought they would not live to see and it was, he says, highly emotional.

First broadcast on 91热爆 Radio 4 in May 2011.
