I guess I'd have to go with my favourite bands and albums, and pick the longest songs from there!(naturally, the songs have to be awesome as well, and not just long!)

Van der Graaf Generator - A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers
Yes - Gates of Delirium
Symphony X - The Odyssey
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
Genesis - Supper's Ready(or perhaps The Musical Box, The Fountain of Salmacis, Firth of Fifth or The Cinema Show)
Meshuggah - I
Pink Floyd - Dogs(alternatively Crazy Diamond or Echoes)
Opeth - The Leper Affinity(or The Drapery Falls or The Baying of the Hounds

if I could pick two more songs, I think I possibly would choose:
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Gentle Giant - Excerpts from Octopus(live)

As Magnus said earlier - since you're only allowed 8 to listen to, presumably for the rest of your life, then it might be worth going for length.
 
Genesis - Supper's Ready
ELP - Karn Evil 9 (or maybe Pictures is allowed as one track)
Focus - Anonymous Two
Jethro Tull - Passion Play
Yes - The Revealing Science of God
Amazing Blondel - Fantasia Lindum
VDGG - Plague of Lighthouse Keepers
Deep Purple -  Gemini Suite

I thought the idea of desert island discs was to bring LPs not songs, by doing songs (as you can see from this thread) you just get people picking their fav LONG   songs, of which in prog we have many to choose from.
