Why have I not heard a Neil Young song on Triple M ? (in quite a while) I wouln't mind hearing Big time, somthing from green dale.

A few bands of that look good - I like the sound of The Living End, Neil Young, Bullet For My Valentine and the Arctic Monkeys, Birds of Tokyo etc. but a lot of the ones there are pop or techno rather than rock.
Anyway, I'm not sure if I'll be going to this (or trying to go). Already trying to go to Soundwave - they've got Alice In Chains playing. But this'd be a good concert anyway.
And why you guys making such a big deal out of Neil Young if you never play him? I haven't heard him once on Triple M. Is that just when I listen or..?
