Question

Listen to Radio 2 most days whilst driving but when I got into my van today one of the young guys had changed the channel to Radio 1. Listened to it for a bit then thougfht what a total load of ****e it was.

Now realise why I grew out of it.

So what do most scoob drivers listen to. Think the older guys & gals on here will be radio 2 men.

Chip.

I'm 26 and I listen to Radio 2. I listen to Jeremy Vine, but I must admit that if he's not on I 'channel surf' in the car trying to find some decent tunes.

Radio 2 for me - or BBC Scotland(really the same thing with a different accent)
Only trouble is that when they play a Sinatra tune I find myself driving faster.
Don't think it would stand up in court

Hello

Everyone should listen to Virgin Radio! www.virginradio.co.uk

Pete and Geoff in the morning are really funny.

Steve.

4 most of the time... still sometimes make the mistake of listening to radio one during the day, lasts no more than 5 mins. Listen to MP3's the rest of the time

HEART 106.2................Lots of music, very little chat, and no DJs who like the sound of their own voices over and above music.

A mixture of 1, 5 and the London stations. Except for Capital as that's fooking sh1te and 10 times worse than 1.

And a bit of Virgin too as it doesn't play the same songs over and over and over and over again. Plus, it's on FM here.

No radio station caters for me. I like rock music (MTV2 is perfect for me) but I can't stand any kind of commercial radio.

Radio 1's DJ's annoy the hell out of me and they play far too much RnB/Garage/Hip hop etc. despite having a "dedicated black music" sister station. Where's the dedicated white music sister station?

I find Terry Wogan just as annoying as Sara *** and Jonny Walker makes me want to go to sleep for some reason, also they don't play enough "edgy" music which is what I like.

So if someone would create Radio 1 1/2 for me, I'd be much obliged, ta.

I'm 26 and I always listen to Radio 2 on the way to work. Not all of the music is to my taste but Wogan is hilarious.

Is it me or does Sara *** struggle with the English language?

Once you've listened to them for long enough you keep just hearing the same stuff played over and over again. The only time you get something different is on something like Jonathan Ross' Saturday show. There's just no diversity.

As a side note - does anyone like the new Flaming Lips song 'Fight Test'? I know it sounds just like 'Father and Son' by Cat Stevens but it's still pretty good

As I'm in London, mixture of Radio 1(Moyles is the best) and Kiss 100.
PS: I'm (only) 28 so not quite onto Radio 2 yet

radio 2 at night & sat am, Jonathon Ross funny bloke.

Sarah *** talks the same sh**e every day and Chris Moyles is not far behind. Local Radio (Chiltern /Horizon) have the most adverts allowed by law so give them a miss, 3 Counties radio not bad during day for talk show depending on subject.

If in traffic on the way to work, bbc1 or itv come up nicely (near sandy heath transmitter)

Virgin. Pete & Geoff in the morning are funny as ****

Although they do tend to stick with the same songs, instead of playing newer stuff. Ie: U2, Clash, Nirvana... A bit of diversity wouldn't go a miss sometimes. But I can't listen to any other station. Radio 1 is the biggest pile of crap on the airwaves

I switched to Five Live a couple of years ago when I got a "proper" commute. Initially it was a no choice thing - I hate commercial radio with a passion, and Sara *** does my head in!! She is a and should be or or even

Sorry....will calm down now....

The only thing I'd listen to on Radio1 is Chris Moyles Comedy Dave cracks me up!

I don't like Sara ***'s radio program at all, however I remember when she was on that terrible CH4 program "the girlie show" (I think?) there were at least two things to recommend her!

I grew up listening to BBC London/GLR. It the early days this was a class radio station; however it has gone down hill, been taken over by talk shows, vannessa felz etc. However, I still listen to Danny Baker in the morning, even better atm as Bob Mills is standing in. BRING BACK BOB MILLS, is what I say. Apart from that I try to catch Robert Elms where I can, although they have moved his show to the middle of the day. Other than that it's radio 2. Jonnie Walker is fine by me. Steve Wright is a feckin moron IMO. Prefer even Ken Bruce to "Wrighty".

Thumbs down

5 live for me (I'm 31), love the drive time shows analysing the news etc

I hate Radio 1 - aside from bits of the Mark and Lard show it seems to be full of 'street' music presented by hapless yoof type DJs - what a load of erse.

Only Mark & Lard on 1, then local stations for anything else.
