I was referring to Baker, but you knew that

I thought he was on the dole or something after his hissy fit on the radio?

Nope. He had a job on Five Live before and after that.

If you'd read/heard the broadcast his actual criticism was of the pinheaded weasels who have set about turning Radio London into a generic phone-in local station.

I didn't. Honest guv.

A lot of his earnings come from writing jobs - creating scripts and gags for other, more famous stars.

Anyway, it was an enjoyable hour's TV. And no pointy-headed rhapsodising about how they love the clicks and pops of a badly-cared-for record, which is what you usually get in any discussion of the joys of vinyl.

Tonight's programme will focus on Pop, while Thursday's will be about Soul Music.

[Futtocks]

So, if you were on the programme, which three rock albums would you put on the wall of fame? No sneering, no judgement, no one-upmanship, just three which always satisfy, whenever you revisit them. Here's mine:

• Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - Damn the Torpedoes
• David Bowie - Hunky Dory
• The Band - The Last Waltz

Only three, though - that's even tougher than 'Desert Island Discs'!

I've a fiver on the quote "when R&B actually meant rhythm and blues, unlike today's supposed 'R&B'..."

Clarkson was only a guest on the first programme, you know...

It might be interesting to see the selections, as the majority of soul music was single-based, rather than album-based, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder excepted.

I can't get Radio London (well, I can online) so why do I get to hear about it? I didn't hear him kicking off about the chance of RL being cut from our local radio...perhaps he's more important what with having famous mates and all that.
