Up and down votes should stay switched off 

Except to deal with the people who've been moaning about their removal.

Not the world's greatest vocalist technically, but as a show and performance it barely put a foot wrong.

The show and aesthetics of it are superb but as you say the vocal is lacking

Was just putting it in my own list but yep. Poptimism is going too far nowadays. There's a lot of trash pop music that gets too much credit because music publications pander to the masses. And a lot of clueless people who are so deep into blindly following music critics that they're bafflingly listening to music they're not arsed about against their own will, for fear of being out of touch.

Completely agree.

When I was younger music was incredibly tribal. You liked what you liked and you wouldn’t be seen dead listening to anything outside of your genre. The last decade has broken all of this down, mainly due to the rise in steaming making music instantly accessible for everyone, also the decline and then death of publications such as NME and also the fact that there’s just too much good stuff out there. I certainly listen to a much more diverse range of artists than I did when I younger.

But there are definitely people who feel the need to demonstrate how cutting edge and diverse their tastes are and will champion any old crap whilst shitting on the older stuff.

I see no downside.

It was hot, it was packed, we were miles back and couldn’t see or hear anything.

She didn’t even get Robbie out.

Jking. Swiftie unleashed the Bob when I saw her cover Angels a few years back and I loved to see it.

Today he is, next week he might not be. It's all too hit and miss for me. Why sit through three or four mediocre numbers to wait for one bopper when I can stream wall-to-wall bangers with no inane chatter in between? I demand instant gratification! 😂

[hfuhruhurr]

Pink Floyd- I don't need that plod and echo

Sex Pistols at the time were a band for 14 yr olds, just childish shite (apart from bodies), nazi punks can fuck off, sid was a murderer. At the time Joy Division were also in the poop over their nazi name too, and I love the Skids!!

There is no excuse for John Peel, it was never a good thing

Prog rock ffs.

PiL is the best band ever.

Trout Mask Replica is Beefheart's worst album, people only pretend to like it.

Jazz should only be used as a punishment.

I think thirst bread has proven my judgement is deeply flawed.

The Clash are really quite dull. They have some good songs, but the fact that people often put them in the same league as The Cure and the Smiths is laughable

I think the sense of solidarity, community and engagement that radio fosters can't be replaced by a Spotify stream.

Nope.

Lauren Laverne and Huey are must listens.

Could it finally be time for the story of when I egged Joe Strummer?

[Hutchmaster]

Kendrick Lamar bores me to tears and despite listening to it in full about half a dozen times to try get into the hype, To Pimp A Butterfly does absolutely nothing for me. I'd rather to listen to Lemar.

Uncontroversially, Lauren Laverne is a once-in-a-generation broadcaster.

Cider from the Blue Bus is disgusting. Warm, alcoholic apple soup.

I started ordering the Half and Half a few years back and have never looked back.

Bob Dylan has written so many amazing songs but I find his versions of said songs mostly unlistenable.
