It’s here!
Last month, with a twenty five euro voucher to spend at any of the many Golden Discs branches on offer, we asked you to donate a song to our Summer 2018 Playlist.
You responded in your humming droves.
We have boiled it down to the classic 47 song collection (scrollable above). The perfect amount of choonage to cater for a one way motor from Dublin to Cork apparently.
Classic staples, some cheese, the odd sour pickle and lashings of pop. It’s a veritable picnic basket of sound for your next journey on the open road.
Many thanks to the choosers: Andyourpointiswhatexactly?

A special thank you to Bertie Blenkinsop for his Spotify chops.
Now YOU must choose the best of the playlist.
Best entry wins a Golden Discs voucher worth 25 ‘big’ ones.
Lines MUST close at Midnight Saturday!
Previously: It’s been A Long Cold Lonely Winter
Sorry I missed the call on this. Great playlist.
Very broad. Sur what could one expect from the Broadsheet community.
I have to go for ‘Island In The Sun’ from Weezer.
That’s likely to change though.
Enjoy!
Good damn right it’s a beautiful day.
Let’s get this summer started
OneLove!
Ah nice one lads !
Fair play Olga!
That’s quite worrying, I have no recollection of having made a suggestion.
Obviously need to cut back on the old apéro.
lol
at least you have the reassurance of knowing it was inspired
( I believe it was the same thread ABBA came up)
but I’m not lifting that rock again…so siree;)
I think you may be right my dear.
I think I may be responsable for Don Henley.
That’s a real dadrock playlist! Don Henley and Groovejet! Jaysus tonight! Tunes for folks that stopped listening to new music in the early 00s! Sure I’m one of them meself! Fair play!
I have the unimaginable joy of listening to 2fm in work so I can tell you without hesitation that current music as played on mainstream radio is pure poo
is that some form of abuse ?
Yes. Yes it is.
Try, just try get the drilling sound of Nicky Byrne’s dulcet tones out of your ears while you work to a deadline. Let’s not talk about the club music at 11am either.
I reckon that will hold up in court
It wouldn’t be so bad if it was good dance music.
Or if I’d maybe taken a few pills. But that’s not the done thing, or so I’m told.
+1
…I thought it was me, that morning club music is disorientating :)
+99 fm Mildred
You have my sympathies Johnny.
You must work in 2FM. That’s the only reason it could be played constantly, surely.
Are you Allison Whassername? I don’t know any presenter names.
I’m actually Nicky Byrne, or possibly that utter goon who’s on in the afternoon.
Who knows.
Oh I remember now…
I was utterly baffled for a minute but now all is well
Simple Summertime DJ Jazzy Jeff &The Fresh Prince …………Summer, summer, summertime
Time to sit back and unwind
Its really 45 because here comes the summer by the undertones and Sun by Caibou are both their twice
if you had to pick just one you really couldn’t go to far wrong Lovely Day by Bill Withers.
I seem to remember having nominated Don Henley’s Boys of Summer.
And I chose Finlay Quaye.
Don’t mind me, though. No feelings hurt here. No gnawing feeling of rejection deep in my gut. I’m fine. Seriously. Fine.
I’ll just go sit in this corner, rocking and keening.
By the way, whoever chose O Father O Satan O Sun, it made BabyAndyourp cry when she heard it.
what are you on about ?
you are I at no. 40
in
I’m not namechecked. Who gives a fupp about the stupid song. Notoriety, that’s what I crave.
Thanks, Andyourpointiswhatexactly?, fixed now. Sorry.
now would you put lushie out of her misery and jog the memory?
Janet, I Ate My Avatar, Don Henley was requested by Sheik Yahbouti and plus oned by Lush.
Ah thanks
mystery solved
No justice, no peace….
No worries, Bodge old chap. Thank you.
If that was you, I’m at a loss.
I nominate ME.
Since no one else bothered.
Just messing.
It’s gotta be Sunny Afternoon by The Kinks, hasn’t it?
