December 7, 20213 yr That's such an uninspired list of records of the week. I've never listened to Radio X and on the basis of that list, I have no desire to change that.
December 7, 20213 yr Author To be fair, sometimes I do just want to listen to straight up indie bangers, it’s the constant same older songs that put me off Radio X. *Always* the same Oasis/Nirvana/Blur etc songs playing.
December 7, 20213 yr That's such an uninspired list of records of the week. I've never listened to Radio X and on the basis of that list, I have no desire to change that. Totally agree, bar a handful of songs, everything on there seems to come from acts that have been around for ages, and most of them have been dull for years. It's a ridiculously narrow view to take. I do like Yonaka though, but I might be slightly biased there
December 8, 20213 yr If I have to have the radio on then I don't mind Radio X, I don't tend to find they play a great deal of new music and it's rare they play old stuff I dislike much even if it is very predictable. Though the last time I had it on for a couple of hours the only female voices I heard were newsreaders and on adverts and it surprises me they can still get away with that. That list of singles is truly awful, and their playlist of new songs routinely is. I count 13 I've listened to on at least a semi regular basis throughout the year and at least half of those I consider way below what that act has released before. The Last Man on Earth, Last Day on Earth and Angel of 8th Ave. are the only three songs that would come anywhere close to a top 50 list for me. Edited December 8, 20213 yr by RabbitFurCoat
