Radio Rage

[emicen]

Should be interesting on here given some of the aversion to popular culture

What makes you instantly flick to another station on the radio as soon as it comes on?

For me:
- Chris fking Moyles
- Beyonce (dont really hate her music, think this one is more born of finding her an utter tt of a person)
- The TingTings

[ad551]

Adverts/commercial radio in general.

I like Chris Moyles, it's my favourite daytime radio show

I Will not listen to Scott Mills.

[HoHoHo]

Boy George
Ken Bruce
Jason Donovan

Edited to add, we did quite a lot of work last year in the R1 studios and I was told specifically not to look at Moyles (we worked at various times of the day and he would be in his studio at the time) as he takes great pleasure in belittling anybody he can. The members of staff we were with also thought he was a jumped up ahole. Personally I think he's a fat tt who should just fk off.

I still have the Live Lounge and Studio signs I liberated after the job

DEBT BLA BLA BLA BLAME CLAIM BLA BLA BLA BLA WINDOWS DOORS CONSERVATORIES BLA BLA BLA

[frank hovis]

As above but add in

Scott Mills

Rihanna - each "song" seems to involve her shouting at some point which is suppose to be in tune

Oh and Queen - utter drivel

[Fun Bus]

Zoe Ball.
Sara Cox.
Vernon Kay.

They all need rounding up and shooting.

[Curry Burns]

Scott Mills, Greg James, Fearne Cotton, That Welsh idiot...basically anyone on Radio 1 that isn't Moyles, Dev, Sara Cox or Zane Lowe.

I kind of agree with this one, although I do find Chris Moyles to be annoying at times due to his self-centered nature.

Scott Mills does get on my nerves though. Particularly when he refers to people being 'off of' everything (eg. referring to a caller as 'Dave off of Guildford', like everyone has featured on a programme of some kind). As if the dumbing down of the English language isn't bad enough these days.

I'm with you on Moyles - I cannot understand how being a loudmouthed, fat "lad" is meant to be big and clever at all - however I'm clearly wrong as many millions tune into him.

Same goes for Jeremy Vine and his Daily Mail listeners - aaaaargh!

Not too keen on Steve Wright either - I have a feeling that he's not the Mister Nice Guy he tries to portray and the veneer is very thin...

ETA: I know she's gone - but Sarah bdy y fking Kennedy - die!!! kill!!! It's all so twee!!!

Really? 'Great DJ' is an awesome track.

The Archers. Radio 4 is otherwise informative, intelligent and often very funny, and yet the tale of ooo-arrrring country bumpkins and their godawful theme tune gets my goat on a daily basis.

The advert breaks on XFM that are on longer than the songs/news/gig info.

The fawning, dribbling, toe-sucking worship of Joe Bonamassa on Planet Rock. OK, so they 'discovered' him and gave the whiny-voiced PITA his own show, but they way the other presenters laud him as though he's some kind of godsent equal to Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple is just plain annoying.

Pretty much anything on Radio 1.

That point when Jazz FM slides into 'restaurant background music' mode just when you get back from work and fancy some perky Latino stuff.

[theironduke]

Steve "look at me" Wright

Vine....though the way he winds people up can be funny.

[carter711]

Fearne Cotton is annoying, but I can stand it.

[Lady Summerisle]

Biffy Clyro

[carter711]

Fearne Cotton is annoying, but I can stand it.

[TheLurker]

Moyles. Horrible fat ****.

Bizarrely I used to listen in every morning until about 2 years ago when suddenly every single thing about him and the show made me want to slit his throat.

An awesome track from the TingTings would be a recording of them and their instruments being passed through a wood chipper. (tbh, theres plenty of music appreciation threads on here, this is more an audio version of things that annoy you beyond reason )

Terry Wogan
Jeremy Vine
Ken Bruce
Scott Mills
Greg James
Cee-Lo 'Overplayed' Green
Christmas Songs - especially Fairytale of New York because *everyone* plays it as it's seen as the only 'cool' Christmas song when it isn't.
