Stay tuned with the best music in English

Since we'll be dealing with some musical affairs for the following weeks, I'd like to bring to you a good way to stay tuned with the best of English songs ever.
The United Kingdom, specially England, is famous for providing the best music artists of all time such as The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elton John, Queen, George Michael and more recent stars like Oasis, Coldplay, Amy Winehouse, Lilly Allen...
How to listen to their songs without having to buy their albuns? If you thought about downloading, I'm sorry but there's a better way dudes. It's gonna save you space on your hard disk and time.
There are some great radio stations broadicasting live music on the internet. I'd like to present you "Absolute Radio"!
Absolute Radio (formerly Virgin Radio) is one of the UK's three Independent National Radio stations. The station rebranded to its current name at 7.45am on 29 September 2008. The station is based in London and plays popular rock music. It currently broadcasts on mediumwave and DAB across the UK, on 105.8 FM in London. The station also recently launched on the new free to air satellite service Freesat (channel 724). It is also available in other parts of the world via satellite, cable, and on the Internet.
Here goes the link to the radio webpage www.absoluteradio.co.uk/
There are some procedures in order to get ready to listen to the radio, just click on the blue tag at the top of the page. If you think that's complicated, scroll down and you're gonna see a black part where all the information necessary to get tuned is available.
For the students participation in class, you just need to listen to radio and tell the class as many songs as possible you heard (songs titles), the artists, the ones you may have liked, and if you came across to something really extraordinary in terms of music.

Have Fun and Discover Real Music!!!

I know some of these bands, The Beatles is the best among them for me. The radio is good, even when a download is done, you can hear the music you want, when you want.
