    i like fun fm a lot of the time, they play shít sometimes but you can usually hear some good electronic or dance tracks. Radio Na Life play good drum and bass and dance at night time, also good hip hop depending on what night it is.

    Raidió na Life is a licensed 'community of interest' station.

    I've never understood pirates though.

    If I was going to go through the effort and risk of setting up a pirate station I'd make sure I had something to say.... just doing it to play a bunch of music seems pretty unimaginative.

    it's not just music, it's the type of music they play, and that in itself does the talking. there's no radio station out there for people who don't like pop music or news, phantom has some good music but there's only so much up-and-coming alternative rock bands from Canada that one can take!!

    Its not the music they play its the crap they talk in between the songs. Every "show" is the exact same with one loser texting in to get another one to read out his name on air.

    Pulse FM- TECHNO TECHNO TECHNO :D You gotta love the shout outs "shout out to Doyler and Kevo in St. Pats, Rachel and the girls chewin out in Finglas"

    yup yup yup.

    Theyve a fairly decent rap hour on Sundays at 9pm. Anyone know any other decent hip hop hours? iirc the Irish station had a class one on Friday afternoons way back, classic stuff the whole way.
