Friday Rock Show with Tommy Vance

I think in that respect TV was very much like Peely. 
If he (and/or Tony Wilson) thought something was good he'd play it, whether it was "rock" or not.. I know he played Duran Duran "Planet Earth" a couple of weeks before it came out as I tried to buy it the following day!

Nowadays, 99% of all shows that bill themselves as "Rock Shows", not just on national radio, but on local stations and internet stations too, have a playlist that's all thud and fuzz, with little or no imagination. Bah! Etc...
