I really don't understand people who listen to Radio 1. Chris Moyles is the kind of man who makes me pro-choice. JK and Joel are the two guys everybody had in their school who were somehow really popular despite everyone wanting them to step on a heroin addict's needle. Jo Whiley is about as genuine as those toy rings you get from those "insert 20p" machines at backwater shopping centres.
The Radio 1 playlist is a crock of shit. The songs on the "A-List" are expected to get 15-20 plays a week, and there's only about 15 of them. There's a B and C list and those songs get less plays. I think the rest of the time is reserved for inane chat and stupid competitions.
I used to work in a shop where the only channel our stereo could pick up was Radio 1, and every Saturday I had "Tim Westwood's R'n'B chart" forced upon me. It was like an unfunny Pimp My Ride UK, only with R'n'B ballads loitering it. And there really isn't a more consistently shit genre of music than the R'n'B ballad.
The only thing that could be worse is the Victoria Newton podcast.

While Radio 1's playlist is ok, it could be overhauled to some extent - 15 A-List songs is enough, IMO, but a few less would be better (more is unworkable, as that would be all that R1 would end up playing - too much of the same). Surely variety is the answer here? Better still, play most new songs in equal amounts during the day. I suppose with Radio 1 it's the same thing with virtually all radio stations - you can't please everyone all of the time...

Ach, Chris Moyles going on about Scissor Sisters this week is making me want to barf. His show is pathetic, if he wans to blab on so much, try talk radio and let them play some fucking music.

God I love this site. I've never come across such vitriol. It's all rather theraputic!
I hate Jo Whiley (see seperate thread) and really have to be in a good mood to tolerate Mills.

Surprised Sara Cox is so popular on here. I can't stand her. She is just a female Chris Moyles.
I actually don't mind most Radio One DJs, but that might be because I don't listen to it that much. My worst one actually isn't listed here. That goes to Tim "middle aged son of a Bishop" Westwood. He really is a joke, but I do like the way he talks in cheesy hip hop and chav slang in that plummy voice of his.

There should only be one option in the above poll:
Jo "Love me like Peel" Whiley!
Fucking shite lizard!

As well as all the aforementioned DJs, you know who else is annoying on Radio 1?
Zane Lowe. Even though SOME of the music he plays is good (some is downright awful), the man is a smug, self-obsessed tosser.
There. Feel a little better now.

My friend keeps telling me to the listen to Zane Lowe, but every time I try he says something to fuck me off. I remember he once said that Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump were the greatest writing partnership since Pete and Carl. I had to switch off there and then.
My flatmate refers to Radio One as 'the place where bad music goes to die'. But then she's from London and has never had to endure local radio stations like CFM and Radio Cumbria. Listening to them is something like having an electric drill applied to your temple.

Let's not get me started on local radio. On our FM reciever we can only pick up three popular music stations, Radio 1, Radio 2 and Radio FUCKING Borders. Complete shite. And we don't even have the luxury of digital radio yet.
What i'd give for a bit of XFM or 6Music out of a proper digital radio.

Jo Whiley is the human equalivalent of Semolina. Do you mean because it's really boring and no matter how much jam you chuck in the middle in a bid to make it exciting ultimately it has the same consistency as vomit? Edith is a bit like a black forest gateau. Seems like it should be really nice but then you eat one of those horrible glace cherries that are embedded in them and you remember that really they're not as good as they think they are.

Moyles is even worse in my eyes after today as I was subjected to his show for most of the bus ride to Heriot Watt University.
He just talks and talk, him and his team go on some of the most self-indulgent rambles i've heard in my life. He's like one of those people that thinks that everyone gives a toss what they have to say.
It's just the most infuriating hour of radio i've ever had to put up with. You wait for him to play some music, however crap it is, just to get away from the unfunny tit. And then when he does, he talks all over it, uses it for high-larious "comedy" (taking the piss out of Gay Aled, yet again) and then he cuts it short.
And then the popular cunts at the back of the bus asked for it to be turned up! Gah!

Edith on her own. Some people talk about who would they kill for a million quid. I'd quite happily kill Edith Bowman for free. Fuck it, I would probably even pay for the priviledge.

My six year old cousin could have wrote it and reject it as shit. I hate the fat ginger one, I always imagine that he finds pork scratchings an aphrodisiac. Ahhhhh XFM is okay but XFM Manchester is beyond shit. It's like let's see how often we can The Smiths/Oasis/Stone Roses/Happ Mondays in an hour. Truly the worst radio station is Wish FM (Wigan and St Helen's. It has about 12 songs on loop.

(bring back Steve Lamacq) Quite. Although I quite like Zane and the bizarre way he raps rather than speaks. Regarding the poll, apart from Scott Mills, they really are all a bunch of self-obsessed tossers....

I'm till in shock that Loew likes Fall Out Boy. They third on my BTK list after Kings of Leon and Sienna Miller.

Has anyone seen the radio one advert in the cinema? Starts off with Zane Lowe, so I said to my friend that I really couldn't stand him, then it just continued with all of them. I think she got the idea after about 5 of them.

It's all the specialist DJs, not the daytime ones. It's a very loooooong advert. And there is too much Westwood.
