I'm the first 90's onwards, reflecting the two stations I listen to at work. Our local independent station's overnight shows are networked ones that play all over Scotland, and their playlist takes in a few seventies songs, several eighties and lots of stuff from the last couple of decades amidst some of the current stuff (This is the FM side, the Gold AM stations are more liberally littered with classic tunes, Moonlight Shadow occasionally, but I'm a very infrequent visitor). A few curious omissions - the UK urban scene is one that is half-heartedly covered. INXS's Need You Tonight has been on more frequently recently, with no acknowledgement that this is due to Professor Green sampling it. Dizzee Rascal was talked about the other night, owing to a report that he wasn't rushing to release new material,which would have been the perfect excuse to play him but even Bonkers isn't on the playlist.
I don't know if Milamber made the shortlist of drummers for Pendulum but that too would be just another name if I didn't keep tabs on my other station - BBC Radio 1. Mostly the early morning shows with occasional addictions to other shows and eternal loyalty to the likes of Jaguar Skills - HooOOO!!
Incidentally, here is something that I guess some of you have looked at in the past

BBC Music's current site is a lot better than it used to be for lots of artists, the reviews and 'played on which programmes' bits in particular. Played every once in a while, and for those of you who know about the British radio scene, you may have wondered what it is that Radio 1 brings to the mix. The clue is in one of the clips available to play (this is a new feature to me) in the Latest Tracks Played... section - I do apologise if this turns out to be based on the iPlayer and you can't make it work. Dev is the current host of the Early Breakfast Show and his use of Blue Peter illustrates where I think nearly every Radio 1 usage is counted.
I don't know exactly how their computers work but I've seen them operating their touch screens often enough and Mike's version of the theme is one that is clearly easily accessible when you randomly want to talk about the TV programme, matters nautical, or for any random reason. One regular source is no more; The Chris Moyles Show went through phases of playing it every day, to mark the arrival in the studio of the programme's day producer, Aled Jones (no relation - he's Aled Haydn Jones when confusion arises). Chris Moyles and Comedy Dave Vitty would sing "Aled is here, Aled is Here..." along to the tune, and sometimes other phrases, depending on what Aled said to them. He has since been promoted to the main producer, which means he's always already there, so no BP  . I assumed they played it because Aled had once been involved with the TV programme as a viewer but I never found out
