I think wuv might be a bit strong for my appreciation of Yellow, but I certainly would play it on Radio ILX. Though there are probably about 2000 tracks I would play before it. And more importantly - I certainly wouldn't ask anyone else to play (with possibly the exception of Tanya cos its all the same to her and she'll only be slagging the tunes off).

I would say they were mutually sustaining. My point is that sneering at Q readers, an established ILX sport, is no more edifying than Q fans sneering at Smash Hits readers.
As for when Freaky Trigger, say, has a go at people for attacking pop it's not that we think it's bad to attack people in general (or "sneer at" people if you want to stick with that loaded term), it's that we think they're wrong about pop.
Come on has anyone seen that 6Music playlist its crap Sheryl Awful Crow, Stereocrapophonics, Crappy Temple Clause sounding like orrible Oasis gone more rawk, Badly Drawn Boring, orribleHaven - even more boring the Travis, Hundred grunge-by-karaoke Reasons.
It's a Joke, there so much music released each week that does not get played - 6music like many other radio stations select their music from what ever pluggers/ major record companies promotions depts stick in front of them. Smaller independents cant afford pluggers - an the only way the get played if a: the presenter selects their own music ala Peel and John Kennedy - this country needs more maverick DJs and less lazy playlist crap.

Also, the White Stripes and Gareth Gates were my two bands of 2002 by miles.
