This morning, I caught WSFM playing Pharrell Williams’s “Happy”, a song that is only about 3 years old…

They seem to keep shortening the timeframe that a song has to wait to be certified as “Pure Gold”… next thing you know is that they’ll be playing Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift :open_mouth:

Been so long since this was heard in this part of the world, so I was a little shocked to hear it following tonight’s NRL coverage in CQ…

that song was lost.

A great track. It’s hard to imagine now that a song of this calibre made it to the apex of the top 40 back in 1993; the dive in quality between the Top 40 of the early 90s and that of the early 00s was precipitous.

I have to call out the (otherwise excellent) InPhase programme on SWR for this atrocity:

Firework- KATY PERRY

Is it still playing or is it the shitty radio edit?

The radio edit, sadly. Better than nothing!

Yesterday morning the Rebel did their best to make me switch over to Triple M by playing these two within three songs:

Ike & Tina Turner - Nutbush City Limits
B52s - Rock Lobster

I feared for a bit they’d had a nauseating format change there. Fortunately that wasn’t the case and they did lift their game after that

Won’t get fooled again - The Who on 4KQ… complete with scream… I didn’t time it but seemed to go for at least 8 minutes…

Good times and great classic rock… 4KQ’s my station.

2SSR last night:

Pyramania- ALAN PARSONS PROJECT

:astonished: :astonished: :+1::+1::+1:

I rarely hear anything by the Project on radio, let alone something from this obscure album. It’s a great shame, as there are some killer radio-friendly tracks on albums like Vulture Culture and Gaudi.
