I actually will have to look up who I picked, no clue right now and then I'm going to have to think about next years entries as quite a few hard favourites have popped on the mortal coil this year EDIT: @Xelaactually started this thread on Boxing Day last year so.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ingram85 Posted December 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2021 Not sure about 2022 but if the last decade of reading these topics have prepared me for anything then I’d be really bloody worried if I was an old musician in a band that no one has heard of or a producer of music no one knows about. 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to listen to her late night show in my formative years which made me realise Howard Jones was perhaps not the greatest musical artist the world was ever going to see.

Met Janice a good number of times, in fact she was the ex-girlfriend of a very good friend and a very good friend of many friends of mine. I wouldn't class her as a friend of mine but I knew her well enough for a hello nod across a room and the occasional chat. Not only that but she was one of my Radio DJs of choice in my formative music years That really has put a downer on the day and Facebook will be rather full of tributes in my friends group if I dare go on. Not quite on John Peel levels but a lot of bands owe their careers to her, possibly the second most important Radio Dj of the 80's (behind Peel obviously) Absolutely gutted!
