Any idea why this fine program, imo the only decent prog on he radio, went of air?
no fanfare, no last show, and some pile of bollcoks in its place.

why lord, why lord?

didnt really like it myself. But same thing like when they axed the metal show on 2FM. Irish radio sucks ass imo.

they replaced it with some ****ty indie music show....dont think it lasted too long tho.

Dadrock started going downhill when the original DJ Marty Miller left the show. The guy who replaced him (Ian Naughter) was OK but just didn't seem to have the same knowledge of music as Miller and had a habit of cutting off the songs before they ended which was infuriating. Still I do miss the show - used to really look forward to it in a sunday night. Don't know why it was pulled. Yeah it did disappear very suddenly. Another show which I used to enjoy on a sunday night was Living in the Seventies with Jim O'Neill on 98fm. That show was on the air around 1996-97 and a lot of the stuff played on it was similar to the stuff played on dadrock.

Dadrock kicked ass, then they took it away.
now how are we s'posed to listen to decent music.
not including our own stuff

the show they have on 2fm atm (not sure what its called - mon to thurs, 10-midnite) is usually pretty cool...not a touch on dad rock, but listenable none the less

Irish radio is crap all the same tho (except when Phantom's on), thank god for internet radio.
