The Beatles had split up before i was born also, but i seem to like them more as i get older. I don't know if this is a result of a lifetime of prolongued exposure, or if your taste just gradually becomes more mainstream the older you get.

Neither my mum or dad were interested in music really but I still know a large proportion of Beatles songs... its like osmosis.

I tend to assume everyone does, but I'm not sure. We've had the Hollies play here a few times, and I sort of think of them as in a similarly classic league, but a quick straw poll of my colleagues (who are mostly aged 18-24) revealed that most of them had never heard of The Hollies. I was shocked.

He aint heavy, hes my brother*

Wasn't that Hollies track used on a film or advert or something, that's why it went to number 1?

Yes it was a TV ad, altho I forget what for. anyone?

This also reminds me that Chris plays Flowers In The Rain at the start of every New Year - I wonder how many listeners know that song?

"Good morning everyone and welcome to the exciting new sound of Radio One".

I've actually seen the current incarnation of The Move ("Bev Bevan's Move") live, at a Jasper Carrott gig randomly.

I'd like to see Jasper Carrott.

Shot at dawn?

[MK Chris]

No, I think he's quite funny.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

I dunno I cant see it. I did watch Keith Barrett Live the other night and laughed lots though.

[Yudster]

Is Flowers In The Rain the one that was the first record ever played on Radio 1?

[MK Chris]

It was indeed.

[Nicola_Red]

I like Jasper Carrott. Old school, but amusing.

I've always been a huge Beatles fan, they were always playing in the background during my childhood and I can still remember like yesterday John Lennon's assassination. There should be a Beatles song played on every radio show IMHO, but can't see Radio 1 changing their precious playlist to accommodate it.
