Indigomusic.com ... The radio station for a Fun, Young, India turns a year older! Radio defines us and here is a compilation of the coolest tracks about radio!

1. Queen - Radio Ga Ga

This song, which was written by drummer Roger Taylor, is an ode to the radio generation of the 1950s, which is ironic because Queen was one of the bands to usher in the video age with the Bohemian Rhapsody music video. Obviously, a fantastic video!

2. Stereophonics - I Wouldn't Believe Your Radio

The song's title is derived from a proverb in Cwmaman, according to Phonics Stuart Cable. You would remark that you couldn't even believe someone's radio if they were a blatant liar.

3. The Beatles - I Am The Walrus

"I am the eggman / I am the Walrus." ‘I Am The Walrus’ by John Lennon makes use of the radio itself, unlike other songs that criticise or laud the radio explicitly.

Extracts from a BBC production of King Lear can be heard from an AM radio in the track that was being recorded. It's likely that Lennon was tinkering with it at the same time that this just so happened to be playing on the radio.

4. Rush - Spirit Of Radio

"Begin the day with a friendly voice / Companion unobtrusive." One for you fans of classic rock.

5. The Selecter - On My Radio

It peaked at number 8 on the UK Singles Chart, remaining on the chart for nine weeks, and became their most successful single.

6. The Clash - This Is Radio Clash

What if the original punks had their own radio station?

7. Blur - This Is a Low

"And the radio says / This is a low." ‘This Is A Low’, a song by Blur about the wonder of Radio 4's shipping forecast, is one of the band's most victorious moments as Albarn's lyrics traverses the British Isles.

8. Joy Division – Transmission

"Dance, dance, dance to the radio." The song Transmission expresses happiness through music. It's a celebration of turning to music and the radio to get away from the monotony of daily life.
