Why do Hallam FM play this at least twice a week? Okay so it's a great song, but it's old enough to be archived now :mad:

Okay, so it has some painful memories, so I'm biased

So what songs tear at your heart strings?

Nothing Compares 2 U by Sinead O'Connor, and Dream a Little Dream Of Me by The Momma's and the Poppa's. They never fail to make me cry, which can be quite dangerous if you're driving!

I actually stopped listening to Hallam FM after they played Toploader Dancing in the Moonlight once too often (and at the same bloomin' time each day). Luckily it wasn't long before that talentless, unfunny, repulsive wench that is Sara Cox left Radio 1 and there was an (analogue) alternative in the morning.
What got me even more is that I decided to give Hallam FM another go and they were STILL playing it. I swore I'd never knowingly tune in again.

From a while back ......

Haddaway - What is love


"What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
Oh, baby don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more"

Your not wrong about that. I listened to Hallam for a week and around lunch time they played the same 3 songs in the same order each day and that Toploader song was one of them. Terrible!

Can't say I'm a fan of the tune in the first place, was never awfully keen at all.

If there's one song that used to get me crying it has to be "It's Rainin''" by Shakin' Stevens.

Very sad song, and I was only little as well when Shakey was around in the early 80s.

The Smiths- I know its over

I got sick of that
tin tin out version of where the story ends. A while a go it was on radio 2, radio hallam, radio sheff, radio1 so often that I just started switching off.

The sundays' original version is loads better.

I have DAB radio at work and at home now, and I'll never get sick of Radio 6, and when I do I have at least 10 quality alternatives, and 30 others to go at..

Radio 6 doesn't have much of a playlist, and is constantly fresh and interesting with it's dips into the BBC archives.

one song that pulls the heart strings....its a real OLDIE....1979, Summer of, and Stay with me til dawn by Judie Tzuch. Beautifullly haunting...

Between the lines by T'pau always make me sad (ok liking T'pau might make me sad too!) x i don't listen to hallam fm full stop, ok i like my 80s soft rock but i could easily buy a bad Now Thats What I Call Music album and listen to it in peace without the inane chatter and adverts that you get when listening to hallam fm.

Side by Travis was always on Hallam when it was released - that used to drive me mad!

Wise men say only fools rush in [andy williams] allways brings a tear to my eye I came of my 1st mcycle and broke my collerbone and wrecked it.

Being a man I never cry (honest) but here a few that could bring a tear to the softer peeps


The Living Years - Mike and the Mechanics
Seasons in the sun - Terry Jacks (the true lyrics dont involve bogies :D)
In your care - Tasmin Archer?

Funny how this has turned from a songs that makes you cry thread into 'What song drives you up the effing wall'

Hallam FM is a load of rubbish anyway - just listen to some of the DJ's on there, they're all trying to hard to be someone else.

That Phoneboy sounds like Sylvester the cat, except Sylvester the cat is much funnier.
Big John is desperately wanting to be Chris Moyles - except he's not funny enough . . . whats happened to Hallam. . . . And yes I agree, change some of the records around every now and then!!

One song I seem to hear at least once a day on Hallam, is Torn by Natalie Imbruglia, fortnately I love the song so I'm not complaining.

There's usually one song played over and over by Hallam that gets right on my tits and at the moment it's Somewhere Else by Razorlight. The singer, who's name I haven't been bothered to look up, sounds like he's just got out of bed and can't even be bothered to pronounce the lyrics properly. It's a really lazy attempt by the band and I really really wish their song would go Somewhere Else. :rant:
