Why do you never hear the stone roses on the radio?

[joiner andy]

the stone roses wrote one of the all time best, classic albums, why does the radio never play their tunes? we have classic FM, but thats not my generation! why cant we have a new more updated magic radio station with tunes from MY era? if this gets off the ground i want royalties!!!!

This is actually true.

It's digital. You can listen on a digital radio or online. Incredibly varied selection of music. I invariably find something excellent that I've never heard before* every time I have it on. And usually something I love but haven't heard for ages too.

There can sometimes be problems with reception in Sheffield ( I live at Hillsborough and it's excellent ) but that aside I can thoroughly recommend it. Really wide choice of station clear sound with no distortion and you don't need to do all that tedious fiddling with the tuning knob to get what you want.

I reckon you'll find those no bother. I sometimes find myself listening to the Craig Charles Funk and Soul show - I don't particularly like Craig Charles or soul or funk, but he's so bloody enthusiastic and well informed it's damn near impossible not to be drawn in and enjoy it.
