Listening to Johnnie doing his 67 special, what a great show, it just don't get no better than this, IMHO. How do you follow this?

Sorry to be a party pooper, but as someone who thinks 1967 was the best year of pop EVER (7 years before I was born) I'm bored with it. We've had it on POTP, Maconie and endless documentaries lately and so Johnnie's show was just another *meh* moment tonight.
As for all these plays of "Flowers In The Rain" and The Move's biggest hits - well. Roy Wood must think Christmas has come early  |

No way Jose!
I also think 67 was the best year for music by far in my little world. I couldn't believe my luck yesterday as I tuned into Johnnie's show! non stop magic from the greatest DJ ever as far as I'm concerned.
Love it!

I have sympathies with both views.
Very few of the tracks he aired are exactly under-played at any other time but 1967 was a very good year and it's nice to take advantage of the 40th anniversary of the end of the pirates and beginning of Radios 1 & 2 to wallow in a bit of nostalgia. Much better than having to hear Sean Kingston, Katie Melua and James Blunt played to death any day.

I feel the same way about the 70s as the moaners about 67 do on here.
I'm sick to death of Mark Bolan and Elton John.

Oh, I'm far and away more fed up with the 70s than 60s. It puzzles me why R2 seems obsessed with playing so much of a certain type of 70s music all the time.
I just felt that with POTP doing 1968, then Johnnie doing 1967 it was all a bit much yesterday. POTP should really have done an 80s or 90s year, considering it's 1967 next week. |

Well Ian, I enjoy music from every genre and decade and being a baby boomer child, the 60's are definitely my favourite decade for music. I don't understand your problem, if the music is good I listen & enjoy. Johnnie's show yesterday brought back some terriffic memories for me and I thought that his presentation yesterday was as I already said, "it just don't get no better than this". However, I have some great memories of the 50's, 70's, 80's, 90's & the new century; if there is a similiar programme dedicated to any of these I would listen & enjoy it, especially if JW was presenting it. Come on there is some great music from every decade, why knock a celebration of what was happening 40 years ago as without what the artists did in the 60's, music would be beyond the control of the artists and even more controlled by the record companies and managers, than it is today. Also without what the pirate radio stns did, 40 years ago, we might still only be listening to popular music in the "musical interludes" of shows like The Billy Cotton Band Show, and The Goon Show, plus request shows like Family Favourites. These were great shows, but would we have ever had the Kenny Everetts, Johnnie Walkers, Colin Berries, David Allens, Ed Stewarts etc, without pirate radio?
