But Billy has continued through it all. Back in 2012, Billy was in Australia to play Splendour in the Grass with the latest incarnation of Smashing Pumpkins.

In fact, I've had more responses to Ed Le Brocq's Take 5 than any other, in ages.Ed used to be Eddie Ayers, a legendary ABC Classic FM broadcaster who has shared his life of adventure with us over the past two decades. Ed is a cellist, viola, and violin player, and has gifted his talents to others; teaching school kids in Afghanistan, and playing for Uyghurs in the remote deserts of China.We'll get to those stories soon… but this might give you a sense of why I asked Ed to Take 5. Across four books, Ed has shared his stories of travel and self-discovery with us, and music has always been at his centre.

Hearing TV On The Radio talk about music is as fun as it sounds. When the New York band first emerged they were like nothing we'd heard before. A mash of genres and sounds and for many, the sound of tomorrow, today.10 years on from their last album, the band are back on the road again. And on their first visit to Australia in a decade, they joined Zan Rowe to Take 5. It's the only interview they gave while here, and they really went in on the theme of 'future sounds from the past'. Want to dig into the brains of Tunde Adebimpe, Kyp Malone, and Jaleel Bunton? You're about to fall into a wormhole. This is a wild and wonderful ride with three of the most intriguing and passionate music minds of our time.TVOTR's song choices:1.Suzanne Vallie – 'River of Angels' Wings' (unreleased)2.Pharoah Sanders – 'Izipho Zam'3.Sun City Girls – 'The Flower'4.Hildur Guðnadóttir – 'Melody of Not Knowing'5.Jehovah's Princess – 'F(X)'00:00 Introduction to the Podcast00:35 TV on the Radio: A Decade Later02:07 Reflecting on the Past and Present04:57 Take 5 theme: Future Sounds from the Past05:05 SONG 1: Suzanne Vallie – 'River of Angels' Wings' (unreleased)11:13 The Influence of Pharaoh Sanders11:33 SONG 2: Pharoah Sanders – 'Izipho Zam'17:59 Sun City Girls and Their Impact20:06 SONG 3: Sun City Girls – 'The Flower'25:15 SONG 4: Hildur Guðnadóttir – 'Melody of Not Knowing'30:59 SONG 5: Jehovah's Princess – 'F(X)'35:18 Conclusion and Farewell

If you've ever lost touch with a friend or been heartbroken by a platonic breakup, Stella Donnelly's new album is for you. Documenting the end of a friendship, it's a brutally honest, heartbreaking, and hopeful record so many of us can relate to. And Zan couldn't wait to talk with her all about it.

Oasis are undoubtedly the biggest band to rise out of Brit Pop. And it's hard to describe how massive their return is. For years, the public fighting between the Gallagher brothers suggested they'd never come back. And one day, they did.Oasis have been playing all over the world to stadiums of screaming fans, young and old. And as they finally return to Australia, we're celebrating by sharing a Take 5 for the ages from the archives.A couple of years ago Zan Rowe sat down with Noel Gallagher in his own studio, in Kings Cross, London. At this stage, the reformation tour was not on. He was recording and touring with his band the High Flying Birds, and had just released an album called Council Skies. Noel's history is everywhere in his songs. And the songs he loves, too. You'll hear songs you're expecting, but it's the ones you're not that'll pack a real punch. And the stories? All time.Noel Gallagher's song choices:1.Pink Floyd – 'Nobody Home'2.The Smiths – 'Asleep'3.Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass – 'This Guy's In Love With You'4.Air – 'All I Need'5.The Beatles – 'I Am The Walrus'00:00 Introduction and Oasis' Impact00:57 Noel Gallagher's Studio and memorabilia from The Haçienda nightclub02:11 SONG 1: Pink Floyd – 'Nobody Home'07:35 Reflecting on life as a rock star & post-fame09:45 SONG 2: The Smiths – 'Asleep'14:55 Growing up in Manchester17:02 SONG 3: Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass – 'This Guy's In Love With You'17:11 A Memorable Encounter with Burt Bacharach24:09 Remembering Burt Bacharach25:38 SONG 4: Air – 'All I Need'30:52 The Shift to Digital Music31:30 Wild Times with Oasis35:09 Transition to a Calmer Life36:33 SONG 5: The Beatles – 'I Am The Walrus'39:48 The Night That Changed Everything for Oasis41:37 Reflecting on Oasis' Final Tour42:55 The Joy of Songwriting44:25 Closing Thoughts and Future GuestsWatch Take 5 on ABC iview:https://iview.abc.net.au/show/take-5-with-zan-roweContains strong language.

It's been five years since Meg Washington released an album of original songs, but that time hasn't been wasted. Starring in Bluey as Calypso, and co-writing the Paul Kelly inspired film How To Make Gravy have dominated her last little while. But now she's back with GEM, and it's a welcome return.When talking about the album, Meg said she conjured a treasure island while writing these songs, finding music as an oasis, and that was the catalyst for her Take 5. What she revealed, was a deep love of songwriting in an age where being a musician is harder than ever. And the music that has been a refuge, and inspiration, for her.Sade - 'No Ordinary Love'The Bangles - 'Eternal Flame'Kevin Morby - 'Harlem River'Eugenio Bennato - 'Ogni uno'The Roches - 'Hammond Song'

And whenever I cross paths with him, he lights up my day. I knew I wanted him to Take 5. I gave Tom the theme of generations, tapping into the theme of NAIDOC week this year – the next generation - and celebrating those who have come before, and those who are leading us into the future. Across five songs Tom shared the stories of his life, and the people who had guided him through his extraordinary path so far.Moby – PorcelainNgaiire – OnceJem Cassar-Daley - Big ContainerPaul Kelly - How to Make GravyGurrumul – Wiyathul

This week, I've pulled out a special Take 5 from the archives, when Ngaiire joined me to explore songs without boundaries.Ngaiire has long been one of Australian music's most treasured voices.Having lived and travelled across many places, she draws on these experiences to shape her distinctive sound.Music has always been a big part of Ngaiire's life. As a child of the 90's, she grew up listening to pop songs in Papua New Guinea and New Zealand, then Australia. She would find a connection particularly to Janet Jackson and Talib Kweli; a brown woman in song in an overwhelmingly white Australia.In this Take 5,  Ngaiire guides us through the music that reflects a life lived across cultures, sounds, and borders.

Ahead of the dreamy indie icons' return to Australia, founding member and vocalist Rachel Goswell shares songs by performers who have inspired her to take to the stage, from ABBA to Joni Mitchell.

Zan Rowe speaks with Justin Vernon in his only Australian interview about Bon Iver's first new album in 6 years, SABLE, fABLE.

The acclaimed rapper, actor, poet and activist joined Zan for a joyous Take 5 at the end of a tumultuous 2020.

As the oldest child of Jimmy and Jane Barnes, music has always been in Mahalia Barnes' blood, so it was no surprise that she inherited her dad's extraordinary set of pipes, and set off on her own path.

New Zealand band Shihad are calling it a day. Over almost 4 decades they've torn up stages around the world, proving themselves one of the best live bands around. As they hang up the guitar leads, what better time to ask them to Take 5 and share some of their best memories?This is a blueprint for how Shihad came to be. It's also the story of a friendship that began in a schoolyard in Wellington and lives strong between lead singer Jon Toogood and drummer Tom Larkin, to this day.From Killing Joke to AC/DC to Metallica, horns up for a helluva farewell.AC/DC – 'Back In Black'Headless Chickens – 'Gaskrankinstation'David Bowie – 'Let's Dance'Killing Joke – 'Love Like Blood'Metallica – 'Master Of Puppets'

This is one of the best bits from Take 5.Caroline Polachek had a huge 2023, and at the end of it she joined Zan Rowe to Take 5. The energy of her most recent album Desire, I Want to Turn Into You had been replicated with a volcano at her live shows, so her theme was centred around explosive songs of release (i.e. 'volcano' songs). It wasn't the first time she'd done Take 5, but more than a decade had passed, so we caught up on her own musical evolution too.Pink Floyd – 'The Great Gig in the Sky'Listen to the full episode here: https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/take-5/double-j-take-5-zan-rowe-caroline-polachek/103233714

This is one of the best bits from Take 5.Comedian and much loved TV host Adam Hills got a huge reaction when he joined Zan Rowe to Take 5 with his Hall of Fame songs.There were laughs, tears, and plenty of wild stories. Elbow - 'One Day Like This'Listen to the full episode here: https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/take-5/adam-hills-take-5-hall-of-fame-songs/103979338

This is one of the best bits from Take 5.Emily Wurramara had a remarkable year in 2024. She won an ARIA, was nominated for Double J Artist of the Year, and she toured all over the country. Emily joined Zan Rowe to Take 5 on the same day her second album NARA was released and the energy in the studio was pumping. It's very much a record of renewal, and one of Double J's 50 Best Albums of 2024.Brandy – ‘Sittin' Up In My Room'Listen to the full episode here: https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/take-5/emily-wurramara-take-5-songs-of-renewal/104257048

We're winding out 2024 with a beautiful Take 5. Jamie xx is one of my favourite producers, so it's really special to cap off what's been a big year, with the man himself. Looking back the last couple of years, the final Take 5 has been really reflective. Caroline Polachek was poetic at the end of a huge 2023, and he year before Jon Hopkins gifted us a transcendent set of songs. All three artists came to that conversation at the top of their game, but with a wisdom and calm that comes with age, with experience, and freedom.For Jamie, I asked him to choose songs of surrender. He embraced the theme and then some, and his songs confirmed why music is such a beautiful language for him. From vintage surf movies, to legendary Brazilian music, deep house cuts and Jonathan Richman, this is a beautiful meditation on life, and a life in sound.G. Wayne Thomas – Morning of the Earth Phillip Glass – The Grid Milton Nascimento – Um Gosto De Sol Marshall Jefferson vs. Noosa Heads – Mushrooms (Justin Martin remix) Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers – The Morning Of Our Lives 

It's our last episode for a while, and we're sliving with unhinged energy. We'll wrap the big events of the week and year - yep, we're winding up with our big "Year in Review". Get ready to be reminded of all the cooked and wonderful things that happened in 2024. From the Willy Wonka Experience to Baz Lurhmann's unfiltered street chat, the powerful spectacle of the MONA Ladies Lounge case to Troye Sivan's bottomless bowl. Relive it all with us.As we step back from hot takes and embrace a bit of "me time", we asked you what you're making time for in 2025, and we'll share some of our favourite messages. And we wouldn't leave you without some juicy bang ons! A couple of wonderful watches, and a book that might just help you switch off as well.Bang On wouldn't be possible without an array of Bang Babes, Bang Boys, and one Bang Man; some brilliant producer brains. Many thanks to Kyran Nicholson, James Findlay, Cassie Walker, Corynne Tait, Caitlin Nienaber, Gabrielle Burke, Liza Perkovic, and Ryan Egan.Bang Fam, we wouldn't exist without your support, feedback, love, and community. Thank you for listening to Bang On over the past (almost) 8 years. Thank you for your emails, DMs, and crop dusting of "Bang Fam" out in the wild. We are so grateful, and so emo about you.

It's another big week but all good, Myf and Zan are here to make sense of it all for you. And oh boy, the internet has delivered.In Detroit, a Bridgerton themed "experience" is drawing comparisons to the Wonka debacle early 2024 (and obvs we are all in).
