because New Music in the daytime seems to consist of stuff that's practically all the same churned out by artists who would NEVER be taken seriously but for whatever reason have a record industry that claims to be suffering from downloading while they make HUGE profits and that keeps pumping money into Dross?

Case in point, as pointed out in another thread, N-Dweebz, a copy of So Solid Crew, which itself is probably a copy. Same goes for Black Eyed Peas, although at least they don't go around bullying anyone who dares to say anything against them, and in BEP's case they're more of a wannabe RunDMC, that's how they always seemed to me.

If you want new music, listen to something like Zane Lowe's show or some of the shows on 6Music, they are truly NEW music where artists aren't afraid to stray from the plastic mould template

And as much as you wont like what i'm gonna say now, the same will apply to Jedward. They will disappear into obscurity, and when your a bit older you'll think 'what the hell was I thinking'.

You won't remember Daphne and Celeste, but they are now total nobodies. A flash in the pan if you will...

Scott plays new music? Not really, like I said, just playlist bilge. Remember he was the one that brought us that Sean Kingston Suicidal song... (which was how I felt after hearing it in some ways)

There IS plenty of GOOD new music out there, bands such as Cold Cave for instance, it's just it seems to get priced off the playlist by probable investment from record labels to get samey bilge into the playlist instead.

These songs are the only songs on the playlist that I like at the moment. I literally do not like anything else....

Florence + The Machine - Dog Days Are Over

Professor Green - I Need You Tonight

Pendulum - Watercolour

Joshua Radin - I'd Rather Be With You

I'm gonna go back here for a moment to when I was 13, to be fair the Radio1 situation was pretty much the same in terms of bilge but we had new(well, new-ish) artists that got exposure too, like Oasis and Supergrass but I first heard most of them on John Peel's shows. That year there was ALSO a lot of crap out there, like I think Macarena by Los Del Rio, so it's not just today's Radio 1 that is guilty of this, but I think back then Radio 1 wasn't so afraid to play older stuff in the normal course of things rather than as a special event as it seems to be today (Wonder Years/Golden Hour don't really count as earliest they seem to go is 1990).

Omafg...

I just cannot reply to that (though I am anyways?), I don't know who you are talking about. I am glad I am on msn, talking to two of my BESTEST mates, in TEXT SPEAK, and sending them this link so they can see how mean you people are!

we're not mean. we've just got years on you, take some time to learn about music. don't be told what to like, there is some great new and old stuff out there.

I simply prefer the great new stuff out there ;)

And I know an awful lot more about music than my friends do =]

I am genuinely sorry if I upset you, and I never intend to sound mean or anything. I think I need to take age and life experience into account when talking with you. I hope that when you get older you'll realise that N Dubz and bands like that are all manufactured to within an inch of their lives.

Currently listening to Goldfinger to keep me sane

I don't think you can really talk when you have no clue what N-Dubz are like!

Yes, I admit many other bands are 'manufactured' but I have to disagree with you on the N-Dubz topic. Research them a little, huh?

Currently listening to My Whole Family... - Bo Burnham, oh, and now Shake It - Metro Station, my taste in music ranges.

N-Dubz are managed to within inches of their lives, yet somehow they still manage to threaten people who text in to a radio show daring to criticise them, and go around physically assaulting people unprovoked, all while fronting an anti-bullying campaign. Great role-models, eh? ;)

Physically assaulting people unprovoked?Well, people are criticising them.. Provoking them!

If they can't take criticism as a band, then what the hell are they in the business for?

To make money..?

Isn't that the main point of a job?

And not for the love of the job? My point was, if they can't take criticism then they are in the wrong job. Every band has a critic, but it doesn't mean that the band should then start a personal and vindictive attack on that person. Whatever happened to professionalism?

That's quite a shame. Maybe radio 1 isn't the station for you ;]

Going through the A-list only (www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/playlist) i'm quite a fan of:

30 Seconds To Mars - This Is War

Chipmunk featuring Esmee Denters - Until You Were Gone

Florence + The Machine - Dog Days Are Over

The Futureheads - Heartbeat Song

Lady Gaga featuring Beyonce - Telephone

Lostprophets - For He's A Jolly Good Felon

Paramore - The Only Exception

Plan B - She Said

Professor Green - I Need You Tonight

Usher featuring Will.I.Am - OMG

You Me At Six - Liquid Confidence!

And with a quick skim down the rest of the lists i'd reckon theres only a handfull of songs i could'nt listen to! (N-Dubz being a standout).

I don't think the physical assaults were on people criticising them, just some poor guy in a pub.

So you really think every band should threaten their critics? :confused:

    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
    • Some similar names to Big Weekend.  Sabrina Carpenter, David Guetta, Perrie, Bradley Simpson, Jax Jones, Caity Baser, Benson Boone, Rudimental. David Guetta is a good name. 
    • Still Scott for me. I'm not too much into the 70s and 80s radio 2 play but do love the injection of 90s and 00s. Then Radio 2 push for all this country stuff and it not a UK thing, and I frankly don't like it. Scott's show as in features, hit and miss. I like the music police bit, but it feels like someone needs to join him. It's a shame Chappers is so busy with sports, as it feels like it could do with someone like him jumping on to help. Or a new partner. Radio 1, take or leave. Matt and Mollie are OK from what I've heard and share a good connection, but it's the playlist that throws me off. They could bring back Chris Moyles to do that show, but as soon as something like Headie One comes on with that casino keyboard produced crap. It would still be switched off from me. 
    • Reading through this thread, I don't feel quite so alone now, in thinking that Scott Mills on R2 is not a good 'fit' (even less so than on R5).  I can't quite explain why this is so - I just know it to be so.
    • Arielle has been on holiday for the last 2 weeks getting married / honeymoon.  It'll be live from this week onwards.
    • CassKidd is in for Sian on Sunday 5th May.
    • The brought to tiers feature was also very good from them. I did wonder which DJ's were going to get picked out of the hat, that could have gone one way or the other and the caller said they were very opinionated lol. Correct decision putting katie in god tier!
    • The extended Dua Lipa track from M&M was very funny. I'm hoping Matt and Mollie and Scott have a good relationship a bit like Greg and Zoe collaborate on-air sometimes.
    • Gary Davies in for Vernon Kay tomorrow (Monday 29th April).
