I really, really wish i worked in a place where i had no access to commercial radio stations who peddle this absolute crap down our ears 24/7. It still irks me to this day that on the day that Oasis announced their split, two pillock DJ's on Real Radio (now Heart, awful station still though), proclaimed ''they only had one or two good songs anyway'', then proceeded to spend the rest of their show talking inane sh*t about how good Katy Perry, Take That, Robbie Williams and Lagy Gaga are. Summed it all up for me. When Real XS is on at work it makes the day so, so much better.

Announced this afternoon that she's leaving R1.... you got the lotto numbers, mate?

She's to be replaced by somebody from 1xtra...... so... yeah... that'll be much better.....

Century/Real/Heart (keeps changing it's name) is aimed at 35+ women. Trouble is, because it's a well known station a lot of work places will have it on. The same songs are played every day. Popular 80's hits, 90's commercial dance and modern chart hits, either by a boyband or a female soloist. Then they advertise it as 'more music variety' :S

Alabama 3

Saw them at Off The Tracks festival a few years back. Really enjoyable.

Lighthouse Family - singer has got the most boring voice ever.

I was chatting to someone about the Lighthouse Family the other day. Despite their albums being pretty unspectacular, there were some tremendous dance remixes by high profile producers such as François Kevorkian, Itaal Shur, Tuff Jam and Todd Terry.

Dance remixes - bah! Guitars and drums, that's proper music

Nirvana, the original Nirvana from the 60's where superb, the one led by Cobain were e

Of course they were.

Biffy Clyro. Hate them with a passion!

Mumford and Sons - Proper radio 1 student/indie club fodder.
Kings of Leon - can't understand why they are so popular
The Wombats

Their first album "Youth and Young Manhood" is very good - sadly it was all down hill from there IMO. They gained popularity on their 2nd, their 3rd offering led them to stadium rock stadom/status - but not a patch on their earlier work.

He should never of cut the hair, that first album was awesome, the second was good, the third i bought but didn't rate much, not bothered with them since, though may give YAYM a quick spin before evening dinner

Tea.

Without a doubt. "Molly's Chamber" from YAYM is worth a mention on the great riff's thread. Excellent stuff.

Jess Glynne - Mixes the loudness and pretentiousness of Florence of The Machine fame, and the nasal whining features of Adele.

Grim

I don't 'hate' him, simply because I don't really care about him...but I had to vent my Glastonbury 2015 feelings somewhere...

Kanye West











....breath....











....breath....











oh lordy....

Horrible, just horrible. I love Glasto weekend even though not been for a few years. Good or bad I've never been so bored by a Glasto 'headliner' and his autotuner ffs! Nothing but karaoke - Kanye and a backing track. Even the crowd sound bored.





But I'm sure once the big hits finish his set it'll be considered 'groundbreaking' or some bollox.

Glasto bores me full stop, though i did enjoy Funkadelic or whatever they where calling themselves while channel hopping

Kanye West is a classic example of what the modern day 'music superstar' has become. His celebrity status, circus entourage and controversial publicity stunts precede anything musical about him. He could have farted into the microphone for an hour last night and would still have had a field full of morons praising his genius on Twitter. The number one news story about his whole Glastonbury appearance seems to be a selfie Kim Kardashian took while they flew in by helicopter. Sad really.

Kanye West has made some decent records but they are few and far between. He is dreadful live. I saw him a number of years ago in Manchester and he kept screwing up and would blame anyone from the guys on the mixing desk to members of the audience for his f ups.

Kanye West is, a good producer. He shouldn't be allowed near any kind of microphone.

Ed Sheeran - Started off quite promising, at least 'The A Team' had a subject material that wasn't 'boy loves girl etc etc' Now, everything he does is made-for-radio drivel ballads for housewives;

''Loving can hurt... loving can hurt sometimes.. but it's the only thing that makes me feel alive'

Bravo, Ed... song-writing cliche 101 there



And don't get me STARTED on that horrific track with him and Pharrell. Just... disgusting





Does seem like a nice lad though mind

Morrissey was excellent tonight at Hull arena. The fight for his shirt was a sight to behold!

Hate is a strong word but I really can't stand The Beatles, or anything by them as individual artists.

I will admit they have good songs, think most acts do have a few decent songs mind.
