Becoming a fan of the John Creedon show

Say Your Number

Never heard these Nina Simone tracks before.

Great stuff.

Haircut One Hundred!

Can’t wait to see them live next month :)

Say Your Number

It's the Radiohead song they played over the 9/11 attacks on Reeling in the Years.

Say Your Number

That marquee moon song goes on forever.

Welsh Megaman

Christy :(

Welsh Megaman

Great of course, but I prefer this version… :)

Odd to hear ads for Rammstein on Creedo's show.

Say Your Number

And now an ad for Slash, outside of Rory Gallagher and Thin Lizzy he doesn't play any rock stuff.

Say Your Number

I've heard that Polly Barrett song a few times over the last while, I like it

Welsh Megaman

Right Said Fred!

:o

Say Your Number

I've no problem admitting that I like Deeply Dippy in a non ironic way.

The two of them are an awful pair of eejits though.

Say Your Number

That Bowie song was fairly intense.

Suppose he knew he was on the way out.

Welsh Megaman

Never been a fan of Myles Kennedy’s voice - a bit too whiny and irritating after a while.

Would go for Slash though. :)

Sonia’s Nemesis! :D

i don't see the point of a radio show playing two songs by the same artist

If you like the artist you're already familiar with their work or can access any song elsewhere

If you don't like the artist you have to sit through two songs you don't like

Ah He's allowed to do it when they're from closing time! What an album 🙂

Say Your Number

I remember this song from a car advert around 2002.

Yes, we really REALLY need to hear Oasis ever again.

(rolleyes)

Say Your Number

I like this new Rolling Stones song, I know it's just a slow version of Can't Always Get What You Want, but it's good.

I'm enjoying the album I must say.

Always love his show and variety. Warm voice on a cold evening.

I wonder OP 10 years on are you still listening on your commute?

Indeed I am! Can't believe its 10yrs since this thread started.

In the car is the chance I get to listen to John the most.

When I'm off work and at home, there's too many other things to do to tune in often, so I do like that commute time with JC.

Still enjoying his choice of music. He will be missed when he hangs up his microphone.

Ahh good to get that update. When I read the thread it had me thinking, What’s this persons commute and how Johns show might be a tonic for their journey. Thanks for the update. I’ll be driving myself tomorrow night and will get to hear him without interruption. I’ll send in a request for the boardsies.

My god…Disturbed’s cover of ‘The Sound Of Silence’!

(entire body shudders)

Play ‘Down With The Sickness’!

Say Your Number

Hearing ads for Rhiannon Giddens, Springsteen and some bluegrass act makes more sense than ones for Rammstein.

Say Your Number

Love that 'Land of my Other' song.

Say Your Number

When you take out the cliched 'All modern music is rubbish' nonsense, this is a good piece.

Thirty years - THIRTY YEARS! - since ‘Dookie’.

Say Your Number

RTE used that tune he finished with for snooker coverage back in the nineties.
