Right now I am listening to my favourite radio station in the whole wide world, e.g. BBC 6 Music. Almost all of the DJs are of my age so all seem to be sympathetic to the alternative music of the eighties, that most intriguing of decades for those who were teenagers then. It wasn't all unemployment and the Cold War, there was some fabulous underground and New Wave music around. That is what you hear on Radio 6 as well as a plethora of new bands who fall outside of the commercial mainstream. I often hear a new band on this radio station first and sometimes go on to become a real fan. Long may they continue.
