    I call for a ban on these ‘John Lewis Ad’ songs!

    Like Fairytale, Raglan Road, Scorn Not.. and many more. The song should be left alone

    for some people genius equates to covering someone else's song and sticking an orchestra on the backing track

    "...no Joe, you rang me !..." A.Caller.

    Whatever about me but the lad who manages the Docs, Ollie Jennings, well he loves it. I like quirky or unique cover versions so I am bias :)

    Steven Adler of Guns ‘N’ Roses is celebrating his birthday today.


    Not too late for Ronan to play ‘Rocket Queen’ before the show is out :D

    At least ronan called it "intriguing" which is a site better than the ott fawning of some of his colleagues. I quite like her voice but the cover overall i find just ok, a bit dull.

    Most of these songs were not meant to be covered in that different style

    Another watery cover version, currently beloved of advertisers.

    If she did 'The Green and Red of Mayo' or 'To Live Just Once' it would be better. Agreed she has a great voice and should go places.

    N17 is a bit sacrosanct for a lot of people, class lyrics, hit the mood of the 80's and early 90's spot on. It's also too fast to be slowed down. Every time I hear it I expect the Saw Doctors to just come in and speed it all up.

    I'm waiting for Songs for the Deaf by Queens of the Stone Age. C'mon Ronan, give it a spin.

    As ronan said, that was poignant. Not the best voice, as shay himself would admit, but really suited the mood of that beautiful piece, just a lovely sense of vulnerability about it. RIP.

    I was surprised that Ronan made that comment about Shay's voice, prior to it being played

    No Ronan today; M Cahill is on instead and it sounds like he's playing whatever he heard on Q 102 on the drive in.
