Is it just me, or can nobody else request from the songs/albums added on 04/03/12?

Nope, no can do. I think I recall this same problem on the last upload run.

Did I really see Toad The Wet Sporket on the list?

Toad the Wet is a legit NWoBHM band believe it or not.

Still no Rock Goddess and Chariot on the station. They have been uploaded.

Is it the same band that had the top 40 hits in the 90's? I actually liked some of their stuff, but caught me off guard when I saw them on the list here.
If it is the same band, wow, what a change of pace!

Not the same band. Weird that there would be two bands with that lame name.

The band from the 90s is Toad The Wet SPROCKET.

Hehe, I spelled it "Sporket"...I'll use the excuse that it was an early post, although I am not known for having the best typing skills

RCC, yeah, how weird that two different bands would have that same name...very odd indeed.

I'm also surprised by this. One was UK, one US.

Both bands took their name from a fictional band mentioned once in a Monty Python sketch.

According to Wiki, there is only one Toad The Wet Sprocket. The album that was uploaded, Metal for Muthas, is a compilation on which TTWS has one song, Blues in A.

FWIW, Wiki has no listing for Toad The Wet Sporket.

Of course I believe every thing I read on the Internet.

BL, you can find YouTube video of the NWoBHM band.

As Keir said:
Toad the Wet Sprocket took its name from a Monty Python comedy sketch called "Rock Notes" (performed by Eric Idle on Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album), in which a journalist delivers a nonsensical music news report:[2]

Rex Stardust, lead electric triangle with Toad the Wet Sprocket, has had to have an elbow removed following their recent successful worldwide tour of Finland. Flamboyant ambidextrous Rex apparently fell off the back of a motorcycle.

Did you try and contact Chris about it?

Yes. They apparently aren't quite ready yet, but he's getting there.
