Biffy Clyro are an amazing band, recent years- now they're mainstream they have gone down in my estimations but their early albums from years ago are brilliant.

My brother saw them at one of their first ever UK gigs years ago, was at a pub with ~30 people

They used to be this really rough looking band all about the grungy sound, playing underground clubs and not on the radio, now they're allowing simon cowell to butcher their songs, very dissapointed. They used to have an awesome sound, everything they make these days is chart oriented.
Can you imagine this being in the charts? no, not a fucking chance.

The stuff Biffy are producing just now is a million times better than the stuff they first produced...hence why they will be headlining TITP next year and they haven't for the past 9 years they have been there. 
I don't think an X Factor cover makes them uncool as much as the X Factor using a Biffy track doesn't make them cool.

Sorry for going off topic but I'm on one now listening to Biffy
Compare anything off 'Infinity Land' to their most recent 2 albums, only revolutions was gash, puzzles was just about worth listening to.

I'd much prefer it if they went off the radar and went back to making music like they used to.

Their songs these days are far more radio friendly, people are more aware of them.
Their song writing has completely changed from the early albums, which imo are a better listen, far better 'rock' songs instead of pop indie.

I think you get it with every band, when someone likes them when they first come out then they start appealing to the masses the folk that first like them take the hump
KOL fans are the worst for it

Fair point.
But isnt that kind of like saying, "because we (the initial fans) like you now, stop chasing your dream of becoming a success"?
Regardless of what any band says about keeping it real or other cliches, none of them dream about playing The Classic Grand as the pinacle of their careers. They want headliner at TITP/Glasto or sell out stadium tours, they wont get it without the charts behind them.

today for example jeremy vine was talking about coffee shop behaviour and whether one person getting the drinks whilst another gets a table should be banned.

No not at all, fair play to them for becoming such a success, I just prefer their early music to the last 2 years

What the fuck.... how can you quantativly say he is the most skilled DJ in the country?! Do they do exams then publish the results.
In my opinion he has sooo many klingons in the room to DO ALL THE WORK!
Of course there isn't an exam but I'm a radio producer & you can just hear it. His show is technically difficult to do. Sara Cox, Vernon Kay, Pete Tong & Scott Mills have all tried and failed to make it sound as seamless as Chris does

I know exactly who he has as I've done bits on his show and they are far from 'backups'. I agree that he bounces off them in such a way that if they weren't there the show quality would dip, but I'm talking technical skills. The buttons, the faders etc. He is the only person who touches them.
The other shows also have the same amount of people its just the DJ's choose not to interact with them in the way Chris does, which is to his advantage.
He has the extra person in Dave but other than that its a similar setup for all the playlist hour shows

I like Moyles and the team (exepct aled, fucking gay does my nut in) in the morning
Fearne Cotton, I hate her with a passion, she's a moron who has no idea what to talk about on the radio, so talks about her life, or her parents, or her cat. For 3 hours. Every day.
I bought myself a portable DAB radio, just so I had something other than radio1 to listen to for the 3 hours I spend walking in the mornings, now go for Talksport for that time and love it
And I really can not stand Scott Mills any more, the guys a bellend, he's 40 odd and acts like a 15 year old, unfunny prank calls on the radio every other day ffs, and that other retard who's on his show doesn't help either.

I still dont buy what your saying (not that your selling it :S)
Yes, He may be smarter than Sara Cox, Scott Mills and 100% smarter than Vernon Kay (did he do breakfast  )... Chris Moyles is prob my most fav, least fav of the Radio1 numpties. I still think he's had his time though.
But... as you said his goons are far from back up. They play a big part in 'his' show... Chris Moyles is the front man if you like.
I really think the BBC need to stop dumbing down Radio1. You either have to be a 10-15yrs old or a bit vacant in the head to like their prime time broadcasts (my opinion).

Scott Mills is that old
I thought he was about 25 or something.
He is a prime prick. Annoying idiot

Their target audience for 630-6 is age 15-24 iirc, so it's going to stay dumbed down unfrotunately 
Older than 24 you're expected to go to Radio2 I guess.
(Might of been an exageration on Mills' age, he was born in 74, so... 36?, I wasn't far off)
