Radio Stations - a bit of a rant

laneender

Have listened to Radio Caroline since it's 'pirate' days and still listening. I pretty sure they don't have playlists, DJs play what they want. Never heard the same song twice in a day. 9am to 10am is a listeners top 15 every day. On internet radio.

I'm looking for a new music station to have on in the car. I usually have Radio X on as I like the sort of Indie and Rock that they play, but I'm sick to death of their restricted play list and need more variety. A lot of my friends listen to Radio 6 but much of their stuff is too twee and dull for me. Anyone got any suggestions? 

If you’ve got Bluetooth just play your own music.

That reminds me. When Mp3 players were new, I got an Ebay one and filled it up with all my absolute favourite music.
It was a fulfillment of all my dreams!!! (well, except for that one...)


Never been so bored in my life...

Can't listen to Radio X because I find Moyles and, especially, Johnny Vaughan intensely annoying. I've recently started listening to Planet Rock, which I rather like. Only problem I have is that they play a lot of blues. I don't particularly mind blues music but when I choose a station called Planet Rock, it's because I want to listen to rock, not blues. 

This.
Moyles and Vaughan are two of the most annoying people I've ever heard.

The Soul of London radio station seems to have stopped broadcasting on 97.1fm so having an old motor, can’t listen to it when in my car.
Anybody who can recommend an fm station in London who focus on 80s soul/funk, much appreciated.

I've found a Station called Mi-Soul that I like. Might be worth a try.

If you are liking 60/70’s Boom radio is good. Lots of old dj’s. Horne, Dene, Day.

Could try Solarradio.

Thanks very much for the suggestions everyone, much appreciated. If I'm being honest though I could probably last a journey or two with any of those on, but not much longer. I'm really looking for something a little more niche and I suspect it doesn't exist.

Sorry if it has been suggested, but Spotify if you build a playlist of songs you love, put it on random play with selected suggestions.  All I listen to out of choice, any weird suggestions are easily skipped.

Oh and my wife insists on having Radio X on in the mornings.  I obviously have no choice in the matter, Moyles is a preachy annoying knob who blathers on about himself to a bunch of sycophants.  To make it worse she plays videos of the show to herself in the evening, definitely grounds for divorce or uxoricide, lucky for her I am too lazy and placid.

Centreforce Radio, don't listen to anything else

Do they still do that 'posse' shit or whatever it was called? Hahahahahaha great show Chris.

Bring back GLR.

Can’t seem to find the Light Programme anywhere on my wireless. 

Any suggestions? I do miss Bernard Herman and his NDO. Edmundo Ross seems to have taken a lower profile. 

As for the Navy Lark… Two way Family Favourites.

Rockin' 247. Just Rock n Roll, Rockabilly (real) RnB and Rockin' Blues. Marvellous.

Have you considered making a beef wellington with some mushrooms found in the woods?

Absolute 60's is a good listen
