You can see the main stream music beginning to filter in now since Colon got his grubby hands in there, heard a song two weeks ago very poppy that was on Pat's stint and he was basically laughing having to say what song it was, in his disbelief off course. Yeah. Pat holding the place only tune in to listen to the dude.

The rot was there before Colon arrived. Used to get Morty playing AC/DC, Maiden, Motorhead etc in the morning and anything goes on Pats show. But they were doing bad and had to appease the mummies at home and start playing 80s pop and it went downhill from there.

But things went from bad to worse when the current morning muppets arrived. Morty and Mamma Dee and all the baby talk was bad enough but those current fúckwits have destroyed it beyond recognition.

I think you're missing the point of a classic rock station (i use that term loosely) if you're expecting to hear new music on Nova.

Here's a podcast I found randomly not too long ago. It plays the right balance of classic bands and up and coming rock/alternative talent, and strongly supports up and coming Irish acts. It has played The Temeperance Movement, Tax the Heat and Broken Witt Rebels who you never hear on Nova.

TBH I rarely listen. Mainly as a result of the stale shíte they play.

No reason to listen to Nova when there Spotify Discover Weekly and Release Radar. Also apps like Simple Radio where you can listen to whatever station you want. NTS, KUSF, WWOZ, XRAY, KEXP and so on.

There should be a slot each day for new music. Or drop a couple in. Otherwise its the equivalent of a restaurant that never changes menu. Boring.

The Rolys Bistro of radio.

Going off on a tangent here, but I don't know about that, the classic rock genre is always expanding as the years pass.

It is definitely a "rock" song and it was released 33 years ago.

We've been calling the likes of Deep Purple, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Hendrix etc.. "classic" rock for the last 20 years odd at this stage. Most of their hits back then were barely 20 years old.

Bit like Kleyn being picked instead of Toner..........they fcuked up.....:P

Would never class anything BB did as rock. But would def call it a classic, as was most of what they did. But they are hip-hop/rap and not rock and without a doubt not suited to a "classic rock" stream.

I had the classic rock stream on before 9 tonight - to be ready for OTR and the last-ish song they played was Fight For Your Right by The Beastie Boys. Now that def isn't Classic Rock. Maybe I should email their complaints dept too

No point in posting on their FB page - anything negative and they delete it or as in your case Declan, they just ignore it.

Complaints dept. ..:rolleyes:.... I'm guessin Declan that your complaints got lost in the Ferrero Rocher pyramid of complaints...:P

TBH not surprised at the lack of knowledge when it comes to nova....

Last Sunday, I was trying out Nova's digital stations. I had started with Classic Rock when Pat James had his Off the Record show. I got a bit bored when he was interviewing someone so I started switching around the other digital stations. I came to Radio Nova 60s shortly before midnight.

A song from the '60s (as you would expect!) was finishing. The next song came on, one that I knew quite well. It was Burn by Deep Purple. I knew it was from the 1970s, but I checked the year anyway: 1974! Not even close! I remember getting Pat James to play a Deep Purple song featuring David Coverdale a few years ago. It could have been that very song he chose, or, otherwise, Stormbringer!

I sent a post on Facebook about this error in their playlist and I also messaged them on the same platform last Monday. Last Tuesday, I e-mailed their complaints department (yes, they have one!). So far, I have not received a reply, not even an acknowledgement. What bothers me most is the prospect of someone putting together a playlist for a specific period or time, or niche, and not checking it before they put it out. I also am bothered by the possibility that someone has not got a clue what they are putting together. As I pointed out to them, Pat James would definitely not make that kind of mistake!

How do we merge this thread with the (locked) thread below? I've been hoping an admin could do it for a while but no one ever thought of it.

Haven't mentioned this for a while, but if you listen to the Classic Rock stream late morning/early afternoon during the week, there is a good chance that you'll hear Colon & Loopy recording their early morning show. Two weeks ago (Monday, 11-12ish) Loopy asking Colon if he watched "Livin' with Loopy" last night. He said he did and it was a great show, so interesting etc. Err, show wasn't broadcast for another 10 hours!

Will have to dig out some of the recordings I've done from that stream. Loopy might seem like a really nice polite, chirpy person but she has a tongue that would make a sailor blush
