Great song by Paul Brady to finish. :)

Say Your Number · 09-02-2023 10:10pm

To the Bright and Shining Sun by The Walls is a fairly underrated tune.

I'm sure I've heard this version Only You on some Christmas ad.

Welsh Megaman · 15-02-2023 9:30pm

‘C’mon Everybody’ by the Sex Pistols.

*shudder*

RINO87 · 16-02-2023 10:37pm

This version of a million miles away from Irish Tour is a bloody masterpiece.... All the band absolutely on fire.

Lou Martin, Gerry McEvoy and Rod d'Ath, the best accompaniment Rory ever had.

A few songs that were radio hits around 2007/8 tonight

Now Sound of Silence by Disturbed

AndrewJRenko · 17-02-2023 9:33pm

Two from the Pretenders tonight, after two from the Pretenders last night! Brass in Pocket always transports me back to my first teenage disco.

Say Your Number · 17-02-2023 10:42pm

Two long songs this hour, he must be watching the football on RTE without any distractions.

BionicRasher · 22-02-2023 9:31pm

Just caught 2 from the Doors. That has me smiling

Waiting for the Sun. A classic. One of my favourite Morrison songs.

Welsh Megaman · 23-02-2023 9:06pm

‘Every Morning’ by Sugar Ray!!

Good call :D

Say Your Number · 23-02-2023 10:48pm

That Mary's Got Issues song is getting a lot of airplay on Radio One.

Love these Solomon Burke tracks.

Welsh Megaman · 27-02-2023 11:13pm

‘Acadian Driftwood’ by The Band!

Great song :)

Say Your Number · 01-03-2023 9:14pm

Hello Hello by Something Happens is a great song

Welsh Megaman · 01-03-2023 9:18pm

Anybody who doesn’t like ‘Parachute’ by Something Happens is officially dead inside.

Say Your Number · 07-03-2023 10:37pm

A few mellow acoustic songs followed by Sharp Dressed Man and Cheap Sunglasses

I’m calling for an international radio ban on ‘Bohemian Like You’ by The Dandy Warhols!

I'll join you on that one!! Still just reminds me of Vodafone....

Welsh Megaman · 09-03-2023 10:37pm

Urgh…this version of ‘Blackbird’ puts my teeth on edge, with that stupid ‘dum-diddle-deedle-dum’ inflections.

Say Your Number · 09-03-2023 10:49pm

I don't mind that version of Blackbird, it's overplayed and I'm sick of it though.

I liked those songs that followed it.

Welsh Megaman · 16-03-2023 10:07pm

‘Da Da Da’ by Trio!

Good call :)

Say Your Number · 16-03-2023 10:10pm

Dieses lied ist sehr toll

Say Your Number · 16-03-2023 10:39pm

That Lorraine Nash song is getting a good bit of airplay on Radio One, I like it.

Welsh Megaman · 21-03-2023 9:56pm

‘Winter In America’ by Gil Scott-Heron!

Absolute masterpiece :)

Welsh Megaman · 23-03-2023 9:49pm

Can’t beat a bit of Villagers :)

RINO87 · 23-03-2023 10:57pm

Wow. I never heard Sinead O'Connor singing that song from Evita before. It's incredible.

Say Your Number · 29-03-2023 9:35pm

Never knew George Michael sung a jazzy version of Roxanne by The Police.

Welsh Megaman · 03-04-2023 8:32pm

Two from Prefab Sprout and now Cousteau!

Good call :)

Welsh Megaman · 03-04-2023 10:03pm

Uh-oh…two more from Prefab Sprout!

*checks online to see if Paddy McAloon has passed away*

Welsh Megaman · 05-04-2023 8:55pm

One can never tire of ‘Birdhouse In Your Soul’.

:)

Welsh Megaman · 13-04-2023 9:41pm

Love that ‘Mary’s Got Issues’ song. :)

He could have legged it across to Callanan's for a pint of Beamish in that case 😂

Welsh Megaman · 19-04-2023 8:08pm

’Moondance’!

The perfect song to sit on the beach and watch the glorious sunset to.

Just let me tune to LW252…oh…right. :(

Been lucky enough a few times this week to be driving around the coast around dusk with John doing his thing,this time of year is when he comes into his own.

Cracking band and badly missed!! Their live shows were top notch!

Welsh Megaman · 26-04-2023 8:42pm

Could there be a more perfect song to listen to whilst watching the sunset than ‘Gypsy’ by Fleetwood Mac?

:)

Welsh Megaman · 26-04-2023 8:57pm

^^^

Certainly NOT a reggae version of ‘Captain Kelly’s Kitchen’!!

:(

RINO87 · 03-05-2023 9:57pm

Tubular Bells!!! What treat hearing that on the radio.

Say Your Number · 08-05-2023 8:43pm

Heard a while ago Springsteen wrote Hungry Heart for The Ramones and his manager told him to record it himself.

It does have a bit of a Ramones sound to it.

gluppers · 11-05-2023 10:43am

Bohemian Like You The Dandy Warhols

Why is Creddo always playing this terrible tune, along with something from The Eels, The National, The The, The Black Keys,

RINO87 · 11-05-2023 11:50am

Creedo does have some gems now and then but bygod he does have some that he plays to death, like the ones you mention.....how many more times are we to hear "long hot summer" by the style council before September for example?! Add "Here comes the Summer" by the undertones, and "Going South" by the 4 of us to those summer staples actually too.

He latches on to a CMAT tune for weeks at a time..."Whatever's Inconvenient" has been played every day for the last while....

Don't forget the old bankers like Future Islands and War on Drugs. Both good bands but they have more than two tunes each!!

‘Bohemian Like You’ does seem to be the curse of middle-aged Smashy and Nicey-type dj’s, because to them it’s an ‘indie band’ and it sounds like ‘Brown Sugar”.

Gareth O’Callaghan used to play it to death as well.

Say Your Number · 16-05-2023 8:26pm

The first few songs tonight

Ray Cuddihy playing some good songs tonight.

RINO87 · 17-05-2023 10:44am

Ray has been playing a blinder so far this week. Love when he gets this slot. Waaaaaayyyyyy prefer him to Fiachna as a stand in

Say Your Number · 17-05-2023 8:35pm

Think Hothouse Flowers are touring now.

Always thought 'Echo Beach' was a Blondie song.

That Shiv song is brilliant.
