Im with you mate, I was at the point with that bloody eskimoe joe song it was a crap song first time they played it what made them think it was going to be better the 2nd 10th or 300th time they played it that day. I listen to JJJ in the car, even though the majority of the music they play is crap you do get the occasional good song and they don't play the same songs over and over again and their segments are awsome. Australia needs a good radio station.

If you dont like the music dont listen to the radio station...

Oh man tell me about it! You have songs played all day and then they have the Hot 30,40 or whatever it is and it's just the same songs that have already been played.

Worst offenders are that Sandy Thom and Panic(****s)at the Disco. Oh and the ******* Rogue Traders!!!!

This is why we have CD players and thank god to whoever invented it.

Another here for JJJ. When I was living in Sydney I got sick of hearing the same songs everyday at the same time and swapping to find other stations playing the same songs. Plus Adam & Wil were good to listen to as well. Now I just go between ABC Classic FM and JJJ, not a fan of JJJ's current breakfast pair

I really miss Adam and Will........best radio I have ever heard anywhere in the world......"Bar None."..........very witty, funny and off beat, and unlike commercial rubbish......."completely un-rehearsed and not read from a script!!"

Jay and the Doc had very big boots to fill when Adam and Will left after 5 years but even so it's just not the same.....or even close for that matter.

I understand Adam Spencer is now doing some radio in Sydney and Will Anderson of course has gone back to his stand-up comedy gigs and tv commitments doing the Glass House etc......"get em back on the J's".......please Aunty.

im glad its just not townsville that gets the same crap. i listen to JJJ at work every day. a lot of the other trades ask me why i listen to "that s**t" and i tell them at least its not the same **** repeated over and over

Jets new song, which sounds like someone has him by the balls, is on that list as well.

JJJ do play some WEIRD ****.

More into the old school stations like KOFM(newcastle) that play 70's 80's 90's and current music with a even mix and they never repeat same songs on given day.

Pop stations should be banned from the air.

Agreed.....but then of course ya can't listen to any radio station and like absolutely everything they play, it's not possible.

I listen to a very wide array of different sounds from all manner of artists and styles and base my views on any albums from all artists on there own merits, .....I'm the sort of person who usually likes the tracks that are way down in the album order, you know the ones, they're the hidden gems down at track number 11 or 12 etc just as the album is coming to a close, most of the single releases are just there as the "bread and butter" money earners for any artist......the real superlative and genuine works you have to dig out yourself.

I hate that punk rocker song with a passion, besides wasn't it the hippies who had flowers in their hair, not the punk rockers. Might go snap my aerial off now.

I think you'll find she is wanting the best of both worlds..although only the hippies had it so good.

I know I was one.

I was flicking through stations the other day and they all have one thing in common. Every 20 seconds there is an ad for premature ejaculation, nasal delivery system - #$#$@ driving me insane listening to this crap, so wish they would ban the bloody annoying ads - seriously how many guys can suffer from this condition that they need blanket radio advertising coverage.
