The Vines put out "Don't Listen to the Radio" in 2006 as a single from Vision Valley, the Australian band's third album, and Craig Nicholls wrote the whole thing himself, music and lyrics. It's a cheeky title to aim at the airwaves, an alternative rock single telling you to switch off the very thing it needs to be heard on. Radio, for the record, didn't entirely take the advice.
It came away a minor hit, reaching 66 in the UK and 46 at home in Australia, and it found a second audience through video games, landing on the FlatOut 2 soundtrack and turning up in Thrillville as well.
