Planet Rock reminds me of someones dull Dad playing the choicest cuts from his boring record collection; as good as some of their songs were, I can only listen to Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy annd Led Zep so many times before the Roberts Radio gets chucked against the wall.

I'm a 6 Music addict myself - keeps me company on looooong business journeys.

You must be referring to my son then!

I agree that there is a little too much emphasis on Zep / Purple, but I will take that above the dross on other stations!

I agree with all that.

Radio 1 is totally shocking these days!

I like the presenters on radio 2 - but the music is too eclectic for my liking as I have massive dislikes of M Jackson / Dexys' / UB40 and the likes...

I love my metal, but most types of rock agree and there's plenty of pappy pop rock in the old collection, such as Glass Tiger, Cutting Crew, Mr Mister etc - just to slow the pace (and volume) down a little!

I can't listen to Radio 1 or 2 - Radio 1 is clearly not aimed at me any more and Radio 2 is a bit old farty. It's 6 Music every time for me, or 5 Live if I need something talky.

Thank the lord for the iPod though - mine streams directly to the car stereo, so it's possible to get rid of all DJ's and other distractions and just listen to my own music; I love that thing that happens when the iPod is on shuffle and it suddenly plays you a song that you forgot you had and remember that you loved - cue slighly mental singing in the car and strange looks from people at traffic lights.

That may have been the case but not now - sure you do get the odd what the hell was that track but it's generally OK. Also a lot of the presenters are pretty young, probably younger than you Chris Evans (marmite I know), Simon Mayo, Jo Wiley, Dermott O'Leary are hardly in their zimmers. Yes david Jacobs and Tony Blackburn ore stiil about nut heck you can turn them off.

I can live with all them apart from Jeremy Vine - I'd rather listen to Galaxy and generally I'd chew my own arm off than to that

Vine is a legend, if it where not for him I may never have heard Hayseed Dixie so for that he gets the legend status.

I certainly get your point on that one - funny thing is if you listen to Tony Blackburns show he shows you how it should be done. I know he's a bit of a wally and his jokes are awfull but generally it goes 3 tracks in a row a quick punchy jingle and 30 seconds of harmless waffle then were off again - old school

Still do love it and still got this and The Stone Roses album in the car, Roses especially, still sounds unbelievably good and Made of Stone is still one of my favorite tracks of all time.

This is the one, just been learning it for guitar and it should be easy but it's not, hasn't been a better band than the roses for me since the days of the jam. The second coming was a let down but take away the 1st album and it stands up ok, Waterfall & Sugar spun sister have to be my top Roses toooons.
