I am not ' wrong ' about the Cranberries just that you have a different view to mine.
I watch our on line graph in great detail. If we have a ' good ' Top 15, the graph rises high and hands on a good audience that influences the rest of the day and gives a a decent total of listening hours for the day.
The term ' good ' means to me known popular tacks associated with radio Caroline.
You offer to create another Top 15 but give notice that you would not select my preferred choices. Also you intend to include tracks that are rarely played. Just now we undertake within reason to air any Top 15 supplied.
But... We may please you as you hear your choices, but I don't want to see my graph collapse as hundreds of listener ask ' what the feck is this ? and switch off, thus damaging the whole day.
Henry Ford said of the Model T car 'you can have any colour you like, so long as it's black '. That is not a path that we would follow i.e. choice = no choice. But it may be reasonable to create a very large selection indeed while asking compilers to choose from within that selection.

Peter,
I now see that they're suggesting censorship on the other board, because of your preferred music choice.
Does this mean that we'll have no presenters on the Top 15 like MOTD
You're wrong about the Cranberries by the way, which reminds me it's been a few years, need to start compiling another 15. Don't worry, won't be any of the stuff you listed that drives you mad, but none of your preferred stuff either, hopefully it'll be stuff listeners haven't heard for a while, that doesn't get much airplay, but is good for the ear.

Sorry,
I forgot to add anything by the Cranberries with that awful yodelling and that I am driven to despair when hearing once again the opening bars
of bloody Smoke On The bloody Water.
As for Hit Me With Your Rythm Stick, someone has chosen it for Tuesday. What's wrong with Sweet Gene Vincent or even My Old Man, sung in memory of his father.

Dear old Crispian st John, (RIP) was involved with Sovereign as I recall. Any recordings of those progress reports exist? Previous Message
Radio Sovereign had reports of the ship's progress in their news bulletins, with a special report upon its arrival, as if they had a mole on board! Previous Message
Good Morning Peter - & I like Sebastian as well. Yes I know Garry & co + were on a wind-up with their usual lies - I noticed someone called JIM, did post the same truth as you spoke - regarding the forum owner being the biggest creator of extra identities. & of course, as usual just before a Caroline North weekend - there will be some sort of anti-Caroline stuff. Perhaps a bit muted this time, as North is promoting funds for the Ross renovation.
Thanks for Clearing up regarding RCSW & Yourself - yes, I knew you were not involved before 1983 - when I terminated SW transmissions - our job done!
Ronan was quite happy about RCSW - just so long as I did not need money from him! - I suppose at that time, Rob Eden was doing the "Managers" job - that you now do?
RCSW gave a young Mark Matthews (Peter) some airplay, along with Barry James (Saint James then) & also his wife: Bud ! who all made programmes - even Albert Hood, made some - under the name: Stuart Atkinson ! - There was also a Caroline East on SW at that time - from near the Malvern Hills, operated by a top-secret GPO engineer - we worked together on alternate weeks.
RCSW was very much "Amature hour" but it helped to keep the name alive, at a time (1980 - 83) when many folks thought of Caroline, being Dead & Buried.
There was not a happier person than myself, when That Red ship with the huge mast, was on Anglia TV local news, sailing up the bay of Biscay towards Knock deep in August 1983.
Keep well. Previous Message
Hmmm ?
If you consider the Kinks or Al Stewart or Linda Ronstadt, I could listen ( almost ) to anything they recorded. Steve Harley in my view is not in the category of ' every one's a winner '. He does a good cover of Here Comes The Sun and I can live with Judy Teen and Come Up And See Me. I like Sebastian as it is clever and melodic.
All a matter of taste and when I look at our Top 15's my heart sinks when Space Trucking is chosen pr Love In An Elevator, or The Faith Healer. If I hear Hit Me With Your Rythm Stick one more time I may throw the radio across the room.
While I am here some nut jobs on the nut job board are suggesting that I had some sort of downer on what was Caroline Short Wave. That makes no sense as firstly I was not even aware of it and next that I got involved in 1985 or thereabouts when seemingly it had long since ceased.
The loonies make things up to cause ill feeling or to seem important as they have ' inside info '.

I believe this was a particular favourite of yours Peter?
could you tell us why?
Thanks.
