Alternatives to radio1?

[Sparks!]

I listen to radio every day at work, but radio1 is starting to do my head in... always the same songs, jo whiley (after chris moyles? or is it edith bowman? ) well whoever, shes fucking annoying all she goes on about is the coffee she bought this morning that had 1 too many sugars, or about her daughter yadda yadda bollocks..

So.. whats a good radio station I could try? (south coast if that affects anything) I like music like linkin park that sorta genre... I do like chart stuff as well, nickleback, biffy clyro, gnarls barkley etc... and some random pop/dance etc.... so want a station that places the latest music + older music in that genre, doesn't talk about shit all day and doesn't have more ads than music...

okay im dreaming aren't I?

Has to be FM not DAB cos I don't have a DAB radio atm.... want a radio option rather than ipod.. I'm about to buy an ipod, but don't really wanna take it to work on buildin sites etc.

Get a DAB radio I love mine.

Any way, xfm is pretty good. Play new rock etc. Its good

But I dunno if you will be able to pick it up... I can only get xfm Manchester because of my dab radio.

There is a xfm london I think...

Don't get an iPod - I've had three, and spec and price is shite compared to other mp3 players on the market. They look nice but they always lack.... something

An alternative to the shuffle is the Creative Zen stone Plus with speaker - 2Gb with radio & built in speaker for £36, compared to the 1Gb shuffle (recently reduced to £32 meh) with no radio

I'm fed up with itunes too although there are alternative to it but you still need it to restore or sort out problems

I've started listening to radio 4 due to radio one being so crap.

106 point something Heart London is good. When I was working days I used to listen to a bit of Chris Moyles as I got a bit bored of him after a year or so. Jo Wiley bored me to tears because she just seems to be a very boring person, Edith is also quite boring, was better when Colin was with her. Scott Mills is great though, still listen to him now as I start work just before he comes on. And Vernon is good at the weekends and the other indian guy on sunday afternoon, is it Nihal or something.

It's the only national station I listen to though, Radio 2 and 4 just don't do it for me, I have Radio 4 on my alarm clock because those stupid role play stories on it annoy me so much I have to get up and turn it off.

I find driving rusty nails in to my ear drums is a better alternative to radio 1.

XFM is okay if you can get it.

Get a dab or a cheapo mp3 player

Radio 2 for us at work, a nice mix of tunes from recent chart music to acdc.

On FM I like Kiss 100, if you can get it down there. Coverage out of London can be patchy.
On DAB, so many stations. Planet rock, 1Xtra and BBC Asian network just for starters.

R4 is the dogz.

An alternative to R1? pretty much anything!

At work we have given up with radio and just listen to CD's or MP3 players through the music box. Do you use a 110v (not sure if they do a 240v version) tranny for your power tools? you can get Dewalt/Makita etc site radios with an input for a CD or MP3 player and they can be stored safely inside it

I find Moyles OK but still have to turn off sometimes. Jo Whiley should be killed, I used to suffer her arse licking shitebag show in my car over lunch, as I tend to stay in the office now I get to escape her. Mills is ok in a comedy homosexual type way.

The problem is that the only alternative here (on FM) is shitpot commercial radio, which makes Radio 1 appear highbrow. Ten minutes of that shit and you find yourself looking for an old hacksaw blade to chop your ears off.

Always listened to Radio 2. Plenty of variety, but not all the shite you seem to get elsewhere.

Radio 1 was ok up until the late 80's early 90's, now it's SH*TE.

I'll listen to chris moyles most mornings, but i cant stand jo whiley and edith bowman
After moyles i'll put a cd on till 12.00, then its laugh at jeremy vines guests on radio 2, then steve wrights on - he's mad, so therefore quite funny

[Kitten]

You can get DAB radios for about £20 now. 6 Music is a great station most of the time - Adam and Joe on Saturday mornings

I used to be a big fan of Chris Moyles, used to be so good if you were travelling in the car in the morning, used to make me laugh somewhat, but over the past year it has just gone shit.

As for Jo fricking Whiley, I want to shoot her. Annoying annoying annoying!!!!

Scott Mills is good though.

I've just never really got into Radio 2, though on a Sunday morning you just gotta listen to Steve Wrights Sunday Morning love songs.

Get a dab. You still got 25 days worth of planet rock to listen to before the bitch from capital axes it.
I'd chew my own ears off rather than listen to moyles.

[NickD]

I followed Mark Radcliffe to Radio 2 in the late 90's when 'Mark and Lard' ended and I've been there ever since.
