Maybe I'm Just Thick or Summat

Let me get this right. People are requesting time and time
again the likes of Yes and Genesis. Why on earth would anyone
use valuable request time to request time and time again the
same tracks to stream down at 56k? Any even half decent lover
of progrock should own most of the top 20 on CD, especially
all the Yes. And any even half decent lover of progrock should
support their favourite bands by getting the beggars bought if
they like them so damn much.

No offence to the AM staff but 56k just doesn't do the music any
favours at all. The AM staff know this and have asked for help
and suggestions to fund a 128k stream.

I just cannot for the life of me grasp how anyone can pass up
the golden opportunity to listen to many many different bands
that are offered by AM, but to listen just to their favourites at a
lesser quality. Beats me.

Moving on and aimed at the AM staff. Is there any chance of a
second stream, one that is devoid of Yes and Genesis or one
that follows but one hour later. I have nothing but praise for
AM and I love the station to bits but I simply am not keen on
Yes and Genesis. My best friend is fanatical on both though.

I listen so often and for so long it is a wonder I am not banned
but I am left helpless when a 20 plus minute Yes or a Genesis
'Broadway' comes on and they do - often.

Moving on again and again aimed at the AM staff but last week
you played Snow Goose twice in the same day I believe. I like
Camel quite a good deal but to play a near 45 minute track, once
is bad enough but twice. I would much rather you play 22 four
minute tracks. If someone wants such a long track they always
can request it.

Lastly. I was going to start a new thread but here is a link

http://ubl.artistdirect.com/

Using the search engine, I learned a lot about the many many
artists on AM that I know nothing about

And as for request times. I use a 'countdown timer' called
Laundry Timer. It works a treat and lets me know when my
60 minutes are up. Stacks similar freely available.

Maybe not so thick and stupid after all.

My compliments to all forum contributors for no slagging or
bad language.
