    The Pixies - Cecilia Ann

    That's just raw rock right there.

    isn't that a bit mainstream for an alternative music station?

    Well, the promo on the test transmission is playing "In the morning" by said band.

    Isn't that part of Phantoms cause, to make alternative/indie/rock more accessible? To use a crap phrase, the "sound" of Razorlight, The Feeling etc fits in well with Phantom hooking more listeners in, "if you like that band, here's more music you might like", without alienating its core audience thats been around since pirate days.

    Joy divison - "Transmission" got my vote if only to hear this great song played on Irish radio. His voice is so unusual sounding that it will entice new younger listeners too young to know, too wild to care...

    Plus it's rock, it's indie, its powerful music and it's apt for the situation!

    "Radio, Live Transmission..."

    Eels - Mr. E's Beautiful Blues

    Or maybe

    Shout Out Louds - The Comeback

    EDIT: Damn, should've nominated "Into The Airwaves" by Jack's Mannequin

    sorry the music snob in me was rearin its ugly head, tinged with a slight dislike for razorlight... i like to look for music i might like, and only occasionally do i hear of a good band by accident. but i guess the majority of the population doesn't have the luxury of time on their hands that i have, so they have to be told what to... sorry there goes the musical snob again... they need to have things recommended to them. i think the first song should be something that nobody's ever heard before, even the most hardcore phantomfm fans... which probably makes it a good thing that i'm not choosing the first song. i wonder though will they go straight into the first song or will there be an introduction? i have it!!! the first song to be played on phantom should be the new Phantom 105.2 jingle

    An excellent choice, especially seeing as they're in the studio at the moment recording their new album....
