I've got a little story to contribute towards the Queen - radio topic. I'm working for a local radio station in Nuremberg/Germany and we do have a feature called Music Monday. The general idea is to introduce an artist with a pre-produced feature, and to play two of his/her/their songs per hour. So I volunteered to do a Queen - Music Monday especially for the 24th of November. I did prepare three features (1970-76, 1976-84, 1984 - now) and a so called "playlist" stating when a certain song has to be played. So far so good... I handed everything in after one week of preperation AND surprise, surprise the hosts and DJs totally ruined it! They played songs I did not select (Radio GaGa or We Will Rock You anyone?), and they gave commmentaries like: "This is what we were listening to when we were young - we didn't have anything else" or "my favorite song is the one with this Spanish woman.. what is it called?". I knew some of those guys don`t like Queen but to listen to my work being butchered on air was awful.

Before the Freddie box-set our local station was having a charity day where you could ask for any song. Anyhoo someone asked for Larry Lurex and trhey put out a plea for someone to bring it in because they didn't have it. They played it, and Brian will kill me, but I taped it off the radio the first time I ever heard it.

"There was a time here in Venezuela, when A LOT (and when I mean it, I mean it) of radio stations who only played Salsa and a lot of bad music taste."
Salsa has much more depth than Eminem or Nickelback. :)
