you ain't gonna like this, but I'm with Viv on this one. Florence and her machine are dreadful, unfortunately anyone can buy music these days including those with no taste which is why her albums do so well. Its also why we have so much bilge in the charts these days

You'd rather we have shit like N-Dubz, Justin bloody Bieber or some XCraptor manufactured BS? Yes, much of the modern toss is shite, but don't assume that means there's NO good, there are some great talents coming through. Sorry some people can't recognise that and would rather go back to artists who were past it long ago.

and Newsflash, music has ALWAYS been open to anyone to buy as long as it's been available to buy... To believe otherwise and try to blame anything on that is a bit of a #Fail I'm afraid.

There are limited great talents coming through at the moment, and more and more artists appear to be sampling music from the past ... Why? do they realise it was just simply better? i agree totally with cxx666. there used to be a time in the morning where i wished moyles would talk less, so i could hear the music. now, i wish he would talk more. even moyles has often commented on the playlist.

Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !!

I could write a long, long list of artists at the moment who have plenty of talent, it isn't a limited list Viv.

Jessie J, Adele, Florence, Muse, The Wombats, Sleigh Bells, Biffy Clyro, Pro Green, Tinie Tempah, Ellie Goulding, Wretch 32, Mumford & Sons, Chase & Status...

I could go on if you want...?

Did I say that? No I don't believe I did. I can't stand Beiber, I don't mind N-Dubz but I wouldn't say i was a fan and most of the ones from Z Factor are poor as well. The only half descent ones to come from those shows are Olly Murs and JLS.

I'm well aware of this you partonising arse, what I was meaning that there was a time when you had to really want a song in order to buy it. I would have to get the bus into town, get £3 or however much a CD was, and then go and find it in the likes of HMV. Nowadays with everything being able to be bought digitally in seconds, and for as little as 50p per track, there are far more chances for absolute dross to chart. People can now buy something on a whim. "Chavs" can go off and buy any old screechy noise that someone claims is music and it has the ability to chart. Idiotic children who love the likes of Beiber are able to get hold of his drones because they've made it far too easily accessible. The way I bought music as a kid/teenager was completely different to how they buy it now. I know this makes me sound old but I'm only 25! This just goes to show how much things have changed in the last decade and I don't believe it is for the better

Do you honestly think that if we still had to go to so much effort to obtain music that the likes of that God awful Cover Drive would have got to number 1 the other week? I think not.

P.S. Using hash tags in forums is moronic, they belong on Twitter. Just thought you should know.

Now who's a patronising arse... :rolleyes:

and no, not just any chavvy little kid can go buy online, many of them will acquire illegally that way, but still need access to money to do it, so still (usually) needs some kind of parental input, probably more so than a kid going off into town with pocket money...

Ellie, Adele and Mumford are OK but that doesn't change the fact that there aren't many new bands we can be proud of.

Mmm. Agreed. Bbc intro really need to get on it. i think i had kinda collapsed laughing reading throo that particular list. and cxx666's post this morning was genius. not even gonna post where i was at the time, but i almost fell into a burn.

Seeing as the artists that I mention are pretty successful and talented, I'm not entirely sure why you were laughing so much. :rolleyes:

    • I see Katie (and Mairead) were out with Jordan tonight.  I don’t listen to the show any longer, I am shocked they are allowed to mention Jordan.
    • At least I do not ask stupid questions…😂
    • I suggest you follow the other DJs too if so, you will learn the hardest working will go further 🤣
    • A simple check on his instagram would answer all your questions , he’s on tour with his wife and the team behind his podcast. I suggest anyone to follow the radio presenters, you will learn a lot about their other jobs and work commitments. 
    • Where is Jamie? It felt like he was settling in when Vick wasn’t on but he’s not been on since last Tuesday now. They’ve not even mentioned him, in fact they’ve mentioned Jordan more than they’ve mentioned him in the last two days.
    • Scott's show is on the road next week, live from Malmö in Sweden on Wednesday and Friday, ahead of Eurovision. As he's doing the semi final coverage on the TV on Tuesday and Thursday alongside Rylan, Gary Davies sits in for him on those days.
    • I don't feel there's so much overlap between M&M and Scott's shows. M&M is of a similar calibre to Scott & Chris on R1, with genuine laugh out loud moments and usually a show packed full of real interesting content. Scott's R2 show is IMO a shadow of the stuff he did on R1 (not his fault, he's doing exactly what station management want), with music and content to appeal to a much older audience.
    • To be fair, Scott & Chris would've still been fine on Radio 1. It was mentioned at the time that Scott's move was very much on Radio 2's part rather than Radio 1 wanting to move them on. That's the one problem that Radio 2 has, trying to appeal to such a wide demographic.. it's the perfect listen for many, but equally a turn off for many others. I think they have the balance fairly right.     
    • 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.
