Radio1 - all is forgiven

Just played Bohemian Rhapsody...

What a song.

The music has been awesome the last few days.

Noted.

I wish it was like this all the time.

I assume it's because of the Brits?

[D_Mike]

yes, they're playing only british music for a few days. This seems to have loosened up their playlisting massively and it's much better as a result. I can't find anyone who disagree with this sentiment. Shame that tomorrow (I think) It's going to go back to being as rubbish as normal.

There's been all kinds of good stuff. A mate tipped me off they were doing this on Monday and I've tuned in a few times. Caught The Clash, Iron Maiden and Bronski Beat yesterday and just got some Dire Straits and Bowie over lunch. If truth be told, all us junior old farts who're getting a kick out of this stuff should probably bite the bullet and listen to Radio 2. It's playlists have caught up with our taste. God help us. Off to the undertakers to put a down payment on my coffin.

Yep. It'll be back to the same boring crap tomorrow

I've been teetering on the edge of R2 for a while now....I'm just shuddering at the thought of taking the plunge! Then again, it could be worse I could be turned on by the thoughts of R4.

Nothing wrong with Radio 2 been listening for a while, with Steve Wright in the afternoon, its like being back on Radio 1. Adittedly a few years ago. But the music is sooooo much better than Radio 1.

Resist the lure of Radio 2... The next step is your pension. Sure, they play "classics", but I want to hear those classics in the context that they are made. I heard Ghost Town by The Specials the other day and I was back at the turn of the decade.... The 80's decade that is. Once you switch to Radio 2, your musical taste will stagnate and you will be stuck in a never ending loop of the Eagles and Bryan Adams. :shudder:

I've been listening to Classic FM a lot recently. Was surprised how much more relaxed I was at work...

Totally agree Radio 2 is what Radio one was in 1990

At least I've got the Century FM "Legends" to listen to on the way home......ah those poor moaning scousers.....

[BliarOut]

OMG, my R2 listening colleague has just told me its Daxid Essex on there this afternoon as if that's a good thing!

[skibum]

Problem with radio one is that they focus too much on the American music that all sounds the same (Predominantly R&B, Rap and "New" Punk type stuff) and the host of British indie groups that also sound pretty similar and have names starting with The.....

As someone that likes to think that they have an wide taste in various music the last few days have been great. The only other show I tune in with interest is the Friday afternoon Scott Mills slot when he plays the Golden Years tracks. Volume up and plenty of finger tapping on the steering wheel.

Don't diss Radio 4 - it's the best station there is.
