It's a shame that the sort of music that's not on the playlist only seems to be played as part of some feature like this, rather than just being part of the playlist. I know Paula played Stairway to Heaven a couple of weeks back, which may have been part of something involving a couple of songs where the listeners have to decide what they want to hear. It's was on Al's show from memory.

The mix of music on the radio 20 or 30 years ago was a lot more random than today. You would have a good number of current chart hits along with new releases and the usual linkups by the presenter but there would be a 'classic hit' (I hate the term) as well nearly every hour to cater for the older listners. Other than 'Cheeze and Crackers', TodayFM seems to have dropped that concept from their shows and I miss the randomness of that style of radio. You can practically name 9 out of 10 songs coming up in the next hour these days before they are played. Down with that sort of thing!:(

If I want current affairs there's RTE and Newstalk in the morning, if I want an escape from such things on radio I don't want to be hearing the same stuff on Today FM.
