Am I Too Young For Radio2?

CDs, yes Radio1 sucks but so does Radio2.

Phone Plugged Into Radio - Select Playlist - Play.

Radio is too boring for me most of the time.

Radio 2 > Radio 4 > Radio 1

I'm sorry but Radio 1 is aimed at teenagers now, the folks on it are dire (with the exception of Colin Murray). The rest of the Radio 1 DJs are simply ego's spewing self-important drivel through the airwaves.

Comedy on R2 and R4 is infinately better than anything R1 has to offer. If there's nothing on R2 or R4 I genuinely turn the radio off and drive in silence for my 3.5hrs commute a day.

Ipod + itrip = listening heaven. Just stick it on shuffle and drive.

I dislike Chris Moyles, but Terry's worse; not in an in-your-face-i'm-a-dick sort of way, he's just dull.

TerryWogan · 27 Mar 2009 at 14:31

So you're the person who loves Chris Moyles? How can you stand him? He's a talentless, obnoxious ****.

Radio 2 plays much better music than Radio 1.

I tell you what though, that new young chap, who's on Radio One before Chris Moyles, I think his name is Greg James or something? he's fantastic, especially when he covers the drivetime shows.

i dont commute so dont really listen to the radio, i quite like xfm's afternoon hour of classic tracks, tho, mostly decent stuff.

if i was to commute id take a different album every day, as the music on the radio is appauling with too many adverts.

They both play fairly awful music. Absolute plays the best mix of music...although very open for debate.

Used to like moyles a lot when he 1st took over the morning show. Now, i just find his constant rabbiting on annoying

Vixen · 27 Mar 2009 at 15:09

I've not listened to the radio at all in years as I've not had a commute, but when I was 17 it was Radio 2 that I liked on the way to work so you're definitely not too young

Makes me laugh when people say there is to much talking on Radio 2, Compared to Moyles it is constant music as that **** never shuts up. I thought Popular radio was about playing the latest tunes but it seems people would rather listen to that **** slate his mates off, Complete ******.

you just can't beat Radio 2

Ken Bruce played Kansas - carry on my wayward son, this morning, the only only place I had heard this previously was on guitar hero !!

Damn straight, heard Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty the other day on Radio 2, stuff of legends

And for an excellent mix of music the Radcliffe and Maconie show can do no wrong.

I went to see Dara O'Brien do stand up a while back and was doing a routine about getting older and he said something like "Radio 2 isn't 'getting better' it's always been like that, it's just been waiting for you", he then went on to talk about dancing/dressing like your dad etc etc

I used to listen to Radio2 more often that Radio1. But then again, i was always flicking through the stations.

Marky · 27 Mar 2009 at 16:12

Radio 2 is for boring people. Sorry guys... ^_^

The thing I like about radio 2 (apart from Wogan, who I find very amusing) is that they play music from across most musical genres. I've heard some really nice country and folk music (e.g. City of New Orleans)that I would never have heard if I'd have stuck to Virgin/Absolute (I grew out of radio 1 aged 21).
