The music we listen to between the ages of 10 and 30 could give us memories that stay with us throughout our lives, according to UK research.

Published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, the new research was carried out by teams from the University of Westminster and City University of London and used data from Britain's longest-running radio programme, BBC Radio 4's "Desert Islands Discs". The show asks famous personalities which eight pieces of music they would take with them if they were stranded alone on a desert island.
