Actually you were the one to call them "crap" first.

NO U DIDUHHNT. :o

 

The Vaccines track is pretty decent imo, haven't heard anything from Kasabian since Days Are Forgotten (or whatever it was called, it was distinctly average anyway), so I won't comment on Switchblade Smiles.

 

Nicki on A-List is pleasing me, that bassline in the verses is REALLY bugging me though because it reminds me of another song so much, but I can't pinpoint what song. :( Great single though. :wub:

Crap as in "stuff". If you actually read, you'll see I wrote "no matter what crap they send" and not "no matter what crappy stuff they send". Therefore I didnt include "stuff" because it would be redundant...

 

Never heard the songs and don't intend to. Guess one can't be much less biased than that. What I said was a simple factual statement.

I dont mind radio 1 playlisting each song from big indie bands like kasabian - its not as if other commercial channels like capital give them any airing because they are songs made with guitars as opposed to a beat box. In fact the only other channel is absolute as 6 music plays indie/alternative songs mainly from classic or brand new artists.

 

Even on mtv they have 2/3 channels that play the indie music and thats it....we need a good mix of music which is what radio 1 mo provides whether they get to the top 10 of the charts or not!!

That's the problem. That's what Radio 1 should be, and used to do pretty well. But now they basically play urban with the odd indie track.

Coldplay & Rihanna - Princess Of China

Ed Sheeran - Small Bump

Flo-Rida - Whistle

Florence & The Machine - Spectrum (Calvin Harris mix)

Jack White - Freedom At 21

Jay-Z & Kanye West featuring Frank Ocean - No Church In The Wild

Kasabian - Switchable Smiles

Katy Perry - Wide Awake

Knife Party - Bonfire

Lana Del Rey - National Anthem

Maroon 5 featuring Wiz Khalifa - Payphone

Nicki Minaj - Pound The Alarm

Plan B - Lost My Way

Rihanna - Where Have You Been

Sean Paul featuring Alexis Jordan - Got 2 Luv U

Stooshe - Black Heart

The Gaslight Anthem - 42

The Vaccines - No Hope

Will.I.Am featuring Eva Simons - This Is Love

 

Check out the alist though - vaccines, gaslight anthem, knife party, kasabian and jack white are what i would describe as indie and not the sort of thing capital would play much then you have the more popular indie artists like lana del rey, jay z/kanye, plan b, maroon 5, florence and ed sheeran. Not a bad mix imo and it sets radio 1 apart from capital imo.

Wow just saw the new Blur single (i assume from their new greatest hits 21) is on the 6 music playlist!!!!!!!!!!!!!
