You are right, but it is still better than nothing. Normally they are not played too often. Just now Heavy fuel   :)

Last hour live versions of MFN, WOL,BIA(OTN version) and at the moment Alchemy SOS. Was really great that DS was appreciated so much today and a lot of fun hearing them on the radio

Yes, it's funny isn't it... I know the feeling... as if we all not listen enough already!

Did they have a special reason?

I think it was a sort of advent calender where they feature one group every day. I usually don't listen to that station. Actually my son, who is studying in Scotland, listened to it via Internet and told me.

Oh yes what a feeling.

Still remember when playing first episode of Young Sheldon with Walk of Life sounding the very first thing.

Haha, crazy how important those things seem! A couple of years ago I heard "Cannibals" in an elevator and I was happy the entire day because of that. And I don't even like that song  ;D .

My sister heard "Whoop de doo" in a store once and got excited on my behalf as well!

You are so right, I listen to most of the songs every day, but was so exited to hear them on the radio.

These days I feel that straits are being played more again. They are not uncool as much anymore.

Only this morning the standard version of BIA was played, and even though I am normally (almost) bored by it, hearing it like that is still so exciting

Two days ago the played BIA in programme where listeners could choose a song. I was so exited at the beginning, but then they only played the MFN version without the solo.That left me a bit dissapointed.

maybe because of their induction in RnR HofF ? (or is it the reverse : they have been unducted because they become cool again ? :think)

I tried to express this in my article, and several collegues were surprised : "why do you say they are uncool ? I didn't feel that"
So maybe times are a changin.....
