British music doesnt translate as easily to the US as US music does to the UK. The British accept a wider range of sound. They are more tolerant of the ususual and unique. Americans adhere to a strict top 40 musical formula. Deviation is rarely --if ever-- appreciated. Also- whats in the water over there? England has more pop stars per capita than any place on earth. No repeatability, but a lot of former pop stars.

I have a great love for ROL in my heart, as it propelled a 14-year-old me into a love of music from the UK. I apologize if this is completely inappropriate, and I have no idea if you will ever see this message, but if any of those CDs are from 1994 or so and would like to either sell them or make copies, maybe we could work out a deal. Please let me know if you are so inclined.Thanks!Jessica she_worships_the_sun@yahoo.com Oh, what a great find!

I really loved Rock Over London and listened to it all of the time! I lived in a small town that did not have MTV and this program was my lifeline to the great music from the UK in the 80s. Will the programs ever be played again maybe on a Facebook or Youtube link? Thanks! I am just finding this blog. I really loved Rock Over London and listened to it all of the time!

My friend and I would talk all day about the new music we heard the night before....bands that noone else knew about! King, Marillion, Strawberry Switchblade...etc! I am still an English band fan today.....and Rock over London kicked it off! Thanks for the memories!
