Oh Now I feel stupid When I just double clicked the title didn't come up - poor excuse I know (but true, just sepnt ages studying the thumbnail). Personally can't stand them and not old enough to recognise them that well

Mum only had one album and that was a Best of - no piccie on the front if I recall.

When I was at University I volunteered on the campus radio station. This was back in the days of LP's and each LP had a piece of paper put on top of it, covering about 1/3 of the cover. It was intended that DJ's on the station were to write comments about the music to give clues/hints to other volunteer DJ's. On the station copy of Sgt. Pepper, somebody wrote 'These guys are going nowhere. They will amount to nothing and are one hit wonders at best'. To do this, that cracks me up everytime I think of it.

Very obviously written as a joke seeing as the Beatles had already been "somewhere" by the time that album was released in 1967.

Needless to say, I never listen, but when I go in a store here in Ottawa and they are playing Supertramp, it is always CHEZ that is on.
Don't you just yearn to hear a female voice occasionally?

Oh yes, it was a joke. That is for sure. In my opinion, the Beatles best output was Rubber Soul and after that....Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, MMT, White, Yellow Submarine OST, Abbey Road, Let it Be. Pre Rubber Soul is a bit too 'yah yah, love me do' for my likening.

They may play Joni Mitchell or Alannis once in a while. Believe me it is torture listening to it while at the dentists. They have the demographics all wrapped up with their 'toys for boys' contest (ie. giving away snowmobiles, ATV's, plasma TV's, motorcycles, beer etc).

Give me campus radio, internet radio and CBC Radio anyday.

I'm online with BBC Radio 2 all the time. I knew I had had enough of Canadian radio stations when I found myself ordering Joe le Taxi as a download

Oh, If its like the stations around here I'm sure they play Heart "Barracuda" at least three times a day, and Joan Jet too.

I know! Canadian radio really does suck. I'm Canadian and have always lamented over this fact. I seem to hear the same songs by the same artists over and over again! And it's been the same for as long as I can remember. I still hear the same stuff now that I heard 10 years ago when I graduated from high school.

I always listen to a CD I've made when I'm in the car. A number of my friends back in Canada have invested in Sirius Satellite Radio for their cars because the radio stations are so bad. I guess some people really do like the music they play....but those people wouldn't be me or my friends...

I think the Calgary stations I have found only have about 30 songs each anyway, and there really is a limit as to how much Nickleback a girl can take! I bought myself a Sirius yesterday - Radio 1, here I come. Plus lots of other (advert free) stuff to play around with. I can only hope I can find something vaguely decent on there.

Nothing to do with music - but there is a slight "dumbness" connection here. My friend was chatting with a physical therapist from work and the discussion turned to Victoria, BC, which was on Vancouver Island, whereupon the therapist said "Oh I didnt know Victoria was on an island!"

My hairdresser asked me where England was
