Everyones Favorite Song?

I agree DC an amazing song. It is really hard I love too many songs :)

yeah, as i said before it's difficult to name just one. it really depends what you feel you want to listen to at a particular time as well.

you have to be in a certain mood to listen to this i guess:-

but i always liked kosheen in the early 2000's. even their upbeat stuff like 'catch', and the john creamer and stephane k mix of 'hide u'.

i also heard reggie yates play this on the request show last saturday (probably one of my more favearable daytime radio 1 shows right now):-

last time i heard that was about 7 to 8 years prior to when he played it.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about the Avalanches... and Lemon Jelly as well come to think of it. How stupid of me. :confused: In that case I'm adding the following songs to my list:

The Avalanches - Since I Left You, Frontier Psychiatrist, Two Hearts in 3/4 Time, Electricity

Lemon Jelly - In The Bath, The Staunton Lick, His Majesty King Raam, Nice Weather For Ducks, Spacewalk

The Avalanches album in particular is fantastic, it's a great album to listen to on a hot summer's day. Such a shame that as of yet no follow-up has been released.

Just for the benefit of those who haven't seen the unforgettable video for Frontier Psychiatrist I'll post it below:

# all the ducks are swimming in the water!! #

anyway, this track reminds me of the end of year 11, it was always in my head before we broke up for our gcse exams in 2004:-

and this track reminds me of mark and lard, or their last year on radio 1 to be more accurate. when they first played it in 2003 (was their record of the week) at some point me and my dad were in north wales, and i remember him saying it reminded him of an old cat stevens song called 'father and son':-

i like both tracks, but they kind of make me sad in a way. they reminds me of days long gone, and times i can never relive. there's still good times now, but i doubt i'll look back in 10 years and look upon things currently, as i do with the times related to the songs i posted above.

i remember judge jules playing this a few years ago. and it stuck with me ever since, one of my all time faves considering it's a dub too.

bit of a thread revival.

i like multiple kings of leon tracks but these two are probably my favorites.

plus rob dougan's 'clubbed to death', a track radio 1 have used for music beds sometimes over the last 10 years or so

<iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/guM5wAkMQO0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

finally, bran van 3000's 'drinking in la'. reminds me of feeling nervous about starting year 7 for some incredibly strange reason, but i like the song. and was reminded of it when greg james played it not long ago.

and so many TV and movie soundtracks (I think the first might have been The Matrix) that it's actually become a cliche worthy of note during a Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe episode. :)

    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
    • Clara was always a decent, competent and even good music radio presenter. But equally, she never provoked really strong emotions in me that I must listen or must switch off.
    • Jamie is definitely very divisive though.  Some people's "radio comedy gold" is other people's "unlistenable".  I have liked Matt and Mollie, Matt on his own, Mollie and Jordan etc etc.  But couldn't listen to Matt with Jamie. No hate on Jamie but I just don't like his sense of humour.
    • The dynamics of this are interesting.  Jordan works best with people he knows and he already knows Chris and Sian so from day one it should sound fairly natural.  
    • Have an amazing birthday Scott!  Looking forward to Tuesday! 
    • This has to be a joke right. This is so Scott Mills 🤣
