10 Great Songs …………


……I heard on various radio stations this morning.

1. Will You – Hazel O’ Connor (great Sax)
2. Take Me Out – Franz Ferdinand (a bright ray of light in today’s morass of shite music
3. Relax – Frankie Goes to Hollywood (heady nostalgia from my 80’s mis-spent youth)
4. No Woman, No Cry – Bob Marley and The Wailers (just takes you straight to Jamaica)
5. Ballroom Blitz – The Sweet (timeless Glam Rock – immediate transportation back to being 13!)
6. Guns of Brixton – The Clash (the Daddy of all Punk Bands)
7. Don’t Look Back in Anger – Oasis (when they were Kings)
8. Design for Life – The Manic Street Preachers (the best thing to come out of Wales…ever)
9. Seven Nation Army – The White Stripes (to be played LOUD)
10. Zombie – Cranberries (Oh Dolores, where did it go so wrong?)

Just one of those days where every tune seemed to be a good ‘un. It won’t last.

No. 8. Apart from the M4?

Sounds like a station with a pretty decent playlist, or was it Jack FM?

It was part Radio 2 (yep R2!), part Virgin FM, part XFM and part Planet Rock (from the TV DAB at home). No single station would dare play such a list, I mean why play nothing but good stuff...where would all the bad stuff go?

Ooops...I know the answer to that...independent local radio....the best of the 70's,80's,90's etc etc when in fact that translates to ..the bland , safe, playlist advertiser friendly bollocks music. And why is local radio (in my area anyway) presented by sad acts too fucking stupid, bland and unfunny for even hosptial radio?
