To contourman :- Most played tracks in last 12 months - Far too safe / predictable / pop (slightly alternative pop) / commercial / dance (indie ?? disco) etc. etc. Don't mind them playing this stuff, but why or why so much of it when 6music ignores so much alternative music that is much closer to it's remit.This is why I find it hard to listen to the station.Too much hyped up, so called Alternative music played (most playlists are a joke).Not enough introduction to music to the listeners that you don't hear about or isn't broadcast else where - especially the more established artists (Popular (alternative) who haven't had mainstream airplay in the last 4 years is part of the Remit).There is far too much quality 'alternative' music that 6music just ignores.Alot of 'Indie' these days just isn't 'alternative' & alot of formerly called 'alternative' artists aren't anymore i.e. Coldplay. Basically there is far too much hyped up artists, naff tracks played.Let's have more objectivity 6music.
