the funny thing is XFM plays on a day to day basis a lot of good music, FAR more than the publicly funded radio 1 .............. or any other mind smothering crap commercial radio station, youd think the listeneres would have picked far more decent tunes than they did perhaps they were swayed in a particular direction

they should have simon bates in on the morning for Our Tune followed by a bit of Madness ;o) they call it madness.

I like 80s metal type rock like motley crue, gnr, skid row, mr big, racer x etc but there is new music in the genre around if you look close enough. Mainstream chart music these days is pap, poorly written music and lazy lyrics rushed out by lasy money labels pushing young acts into rushed crappy albums. apart from the arctics that are with a small label and still produce rot

for example arctic monkeys and "scummy (sun goes down)"

And what a Scummy Man
Just giv 'im 'alf a chance
I'll bet 'ell rob you if 'e can
You can see it in his eyes yeah
That 'es got a drivin ban
Amongst some other offences

its just a bunch of drivel to match up loosely connected rhyming words - how can you see that someone has a driving ban from their eyes. What nonsence.Monkeys would be able to do better.

not to mention the incredibly bland one string solos and overly repetitive same 3 chords for chorus, verse oh and even middle 8 sometimes.

im not jealous of course, much
