    I disagree, it's impossible to get away from.. I pretty much can't watch any television without listening to chart music, I can't go in any shops without hearing it.. unless I get a Digital Radio, most stations play it.

    I should *want* to listen to chart music, because that's the point. It's what's supposedly popular with the people (which is rubbish because single sales are totally fixed) and it's all lip-synched manufactured cack anyway, which is then pushed to the top of the charts for the drones to listen to.

    PWEI were ok, a bit blah though.

    yea shure book. im not complaining im just stating the fact and i think that music should evoke feeling thus i like dido and morcheeba. much like rage against the mashine envokes rage. and the blue room invokes a calming influence. but chart music envokes anoyance if it wherent played so much im shure some of the songs would sound great like that in heavan i can skate. i hated that track untill i got to listen to it when i wanted and not when i was being bombed with the stuff. if a radio station where to play all the hits of the last year and not just the last months top ten (if ure lucky) then we would not despise it. when was the last time you heard a little less conversation?

    Ok I feel as if I'm about to cause 1 really large argument, but I think this is definatley worth saying.

    Firstly you go to America, you turn on the radio, what do you find? A radio station dedicated to every type of music there is, you've got your local stations, to your Garage music stations.

    Here in the UK what do we have? BBC Radio 1 through to 5, do we need either 1 of them? Answer, no we don't. All of the, but our local Radio stations should be scrapped and a station for each type of musci implemented, that way the Dance/Trance freaks get what they want, the rock heads, classic nuts, 80's nuts etc. That way everybody is happy.

    But until we see the end of the BBC, then no I the above just isn't going to happen.

    Myself, well I so do not like all the chart stuff, nu-Metal and this so called rock.

    Trance/Dance, classic rock e.g White Snake, 60's, 70's and 80's music, now thats what I call music :)

    i dont see that its going to cause a massive argument i think your right. i think radio 2 has allot of clasic old stuff with lots of middle of the road stuff for people who remeber it as for radio 3 its rubbish ... what happened to digital radio i thaught we would be having loads of national radio stations the reason we dont is because no one can get a national licence outside of the am bandwidth ecept clasic fm and you might as well listen to radio 3. radio is run by people who are old and trying to make fast money thru adveryising. it sux but then what can you do about it. ps america doesnt have any good rap stations aparently and thats why they love westwood over there even if he is not verry popular over here,weird eh?

    Slate Magazine published this article "Hit Charade - The music industry's self-inflicted wounds."

    It's kind of long but very good read about how the RIAA says that file sharing is killing the recording industry but they're wrong... My favorite quote is this:

    "Although usually termed teen-pop, the music of 'N Sync and Britney Spears is not unlike disco: Both are intellectually underachieving, cookie-cutter styles that have made stars of performers not known primarily for their skills as singers, songwriters, or musicians."
