If you think 6 is shit, you should be sentenced to having to listen to 2 (or 1) for a whole day. There's a big difference!

So many particulars. So many questions.
I have spent many many a long day listening to radio two as a drivers mate. Cos Sally Traffick has the best and most up to date traffic reports , so many drivers just tune into radio 2 cos it is good for the job. Is musically no where near as good as 6 but DJ wise its the same

Not really. Same kind of inane over-enthusiastic banter, but the songs were worse.

Hmm...!
So wrong.
GP continues to be the best DJ on 6. I love listening to his show while doing the cooking on a Saturday.I dunno how much of the music I'd buy but it's definitely an education.
And I'm again gonna defend both Hobbs and Keaveny from the nay sayers.
Agreed (apart from the Keaveny bit [I just don't find him that funny or his show that enjoyable]). On the other hand, I love listening to Gilles Peterson.

Dear 6 Music,
Can you stop playing that piss awful new song by Paul McCartney? There's a place for shit music by pensioners. It's called Radio 2.
Yours,

Wahey ! Huey has taken the sat morn slot from the awful Edith! Justice at last. Really hope he keeps his Sunday slot as well.

"Just stop what you're doing and listen to this amazing stuff,"
<<plays half-baked wallpaper music shite that would only work in a rubbish tv commercial>>
"Wasn't that amazing?"
Um, no. Now play something decent and stop gushing ffs.

Foo Fighters? Really?

So many particulars. So many questions.
Thefoo fighters have been doing the same album every year for six fucking years. We want something new!

take me to the feeling
It actually has a reversing effect on me. Stuff I might otherwise have found unusually moving or interesting just makes me roll my eyes because of her stupid fucking hyperbole.

One small step for me
I'm not a regular listener to any of the shows (Gilles Peterson is my fave but his show's on at such a stupid time) but I do sometimes tune in. However the other day I tuned straight out again when I heard Laverne (I think it was) playing the Ghostbusters theme song. Fucking Ghostbusters I tell ya! FFS that's not what all those people petitioned the Beeb to keep the bloody station on air for was it?!

A five year olds birthday party at least has a sense of fun, rather than the pathetic attempts to be Radio 3 with guitars vomited out by 6music.
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
Radio 3 has guitars.

Bring back hanging
They need some one who went to university in the late 80s early 90s to come on and play some stone roses and that. Give us all a kick up the arse.

They should also have more documentaries about Joy Division.

Yeah she owes James Blunt a big apology for that one!

The standard of 6Music DJs seems to be a constant source of debate amongst my friends. I'd sort into the following categories
Universally Lauded
Gideon Coe. The Freakzone. That time Kevin Roland filled for Craig Charles on on a Saturday night in 2006.
Mostly liked (with occasional vehement opposition)
Cerys, Jarvis, Lister off of Red Dwarf, Lard, Mary-Anne Hobgoblin
Mostly disliked
Huey, Elbow fellah, Peterson,
Bellends
Keaveny, Laverne, Smashy Radcliffe and Nicey Maconie, Lamaq

Really? I've found Huey generally gets good reactions, though sometimes is marked down for his presenting style. Peterson is possibly a bit more divisive, but those who like him really do like him.
