This is the shows wish-list. Most of the albums we choose to cover come from our listeners’ suggestions so this is the page where you can hold sway over Phantom and get to hear an entire hours worth of music from your favorite album.
Have a look at the Archive first to see if we have already covered it and if not lash your suggestion into a comment and I’ll include it on the Hit-list. Pay attention to key dates as well (anniversary of release, death of band member, or upcoming new album) as this will give it a better chance of being included in the show!
Here’s what we have in the pipeline at the moment (not in order of preference) :
Isn’t it about time you threw a Beatles album in somewhere? Don’t ask me which one I only own two and some random compilations… but still… sorry, in a Beatles mood, damn powerpuff girls!

Derek,
For the Birds, The Frames, is well worth a spin, their best album by far, the sleeve notes give more than enough raw material for links between songs. It may open people eyes to the true talent of the frames when they are left do their own thing, complements on the show to date, michael

Scandalous, The Cure hasn’t been done yet! Well, they’ve a new double album coming out soon and I reckon either ‘Disintegration’ or ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ would make great listening on a sunday night. What say you Mr Catch?!

What bout Portishead? Dummy is an amazing album. Some Pavement would be nice too!!

Funny you mention that Vincent…only just re-bought Dummy in HMV for €5.99 the other week and have been listening to it all over again.
I’ll stick it on in the coming weeks to tie in with the new album!
Chandy – The Cure is on it’s way soon as well! Not sure which one first….but their there indeed some great options!

What about some Neil Young? Not sure what exactly, there’s a good few you could pick, Goldrush or Rust Never Sleeps?! Was ‘He Poos Clouds’ not in there once or has it been done? Classic.
Paul McCartney’s debut or Chaos & Creation?
By: Ronan on April 7, 2008

sorry scratch C&C actually, it’s good though probably not a classic.
By: Ronan on April 7, 2008

Ronan – you’re right He Poos Clouds was there…don’t know what happened to it. Added Harvest as well. Great album!

hi derek, i catch your show most weeks,its a great show! i have a suggestion for album archive, but im not sure if you have any qualifying rules!!?? its ‘where the pyramid meets the eye’ a tribute to rocky erickson, from the 13th floor elevators. so its a covers album, but includes a variety of well known bands which include:Primal Scream-The Butthole Surfers-The Jesus and Mary Chain-ZZtop-and some other maybe less well known bands Angry Samoans and Doug Sahm and Sons. Not sure if Rocky is well known himself!! But if your listeners like any of them, im sure they would appreciate songs like Reverberation,Earthquake,Trip inside this houseTwo headed dog and leave your body behind. Really would love other people to be introduced or re-introduced to this truely original space cadet!! and you checkin out all the history!! all the hard stuff …dave
