Put another station on then. It's not rocket science.
I had the misfortune of listening to Radio 1 the other day.

Have you EVER listened to Radio1? I think you are thinking of CapitalFM.
Radio 1 plays all the chart music AS-WELL as new un-heard music, hints of rock, indie and sometimes pop classics. One of the only stations left that DOESN'T play the top 20 on repeat.

my goodness, what a bizarre mess!
who is this station supposed to appeal to??
i dont quite understand what its supposed to be.
is it a mainstream pop station or what?
i was in the gym for 2 hours and must have heard one pop song.
the rest was just alternative nonsense which has never been in the top40, not has a chance of entering the top 40.
infact its almost as if they are trying desperatly to be cool, OR they only want to appeal to 35-50 year olds.
kind of reminds me of a dad dancing very badly at a wedding.”

You should listen to Capital

If he wants to make a point regarding Radio 1, he is surely entitled to do so.

Ever tried changing station on a HTC phone?
Yeah, if you want straight up pop music, Capital is a better option than Radio 1. Radio 1 isn't supposed to play pop muisc, it has to play other genres, whilst it's in Capital's description that it only plays pop.
Radio 1 strikes the right balance between mainstream and up and coming, alternative music in their daytime shows. Just looking at their playlist shows that. I assume the OP was listening at some time after 7pm, seeing as that's when they ditch the majority of the mainstream music - which should maybe give a hint as to the audience they're trying to attract at that time.

Sounds like Zane Lowe to me - not exactly sure what he specialises in though - crap music ???

Well, some evenings Radio 1 just broadcasts the same as Radio 1Xtra I think.
But even Capital FM has specialists shows at night sometimes, where you hear pretty much nothing from the charts in there.
The fact that millions of people lap up Radio 1 depresses the sh*t out of me ....just as much as the fact that millions of people lap up Radio 2 ...beyond awful....like having somebody yelling " Idiot " at you.

What's all this specialist clap trap.All UK music stations have to play a cettain % of new / unheard music as part of their licence agreement.That's why it's played in the early hours when no one is listening (except perhaps the odd nightshift worker)
