Absolute Radio Anmeldelser 174

It used to be good when it was Virgin Radio. They have this 'no repeat' policy, which means they don't play the same song twice during the day. That would be alright if every day wasn't the same boring playlist. There are billions of songs in this world and every day it's the same sh*t selection. Changing stations now.

The breakfast show is rapidly going downhill. The scrapping of the half-hour news bulletin is a mystery and the endless "make me a winner plugs" are becoming increasingly tiresome. And the 7:10 'Social Ammunition" is a free-for-all laugh in by the whole team that has become monotonous. Couple this with the betting and lottery ad's and it's a bit of a chore now.

I normally enjoy listening to Absolute radio in the mornings, I had to turn it off today the BeatBoxing was absolutely awful!! BeatBoxing isnt for everyone, then we have amateurs trying to do it, its even worse.

Completely agree with other reviews here. Might bang on about not repeating songs between 9 and 5, but what they don't tell you is they repeat the same songs day after day. Playlist of rock/indie/alternative songs over seven decades and we still have to listen to Babybird or They Might be Giants everyday. Terrible.

Endless repitition of no repeat guarantee of songs and constant promotion of cash competitions and non stop replaying of moronic clips from previous shows. I've stopped listening to this station

Same songs day in day out, just in a slightly different order. The only thing that keeps me sane with this station is my own personal game of "Absolute Radio Bingo" (patent pending).

When you wake up choose three songs at the start of the day from their usual playlist, get them all and win (no idea what you win but you are a winner). It's a bit like "Make me a winner" but without the life changing cash.

My top tips:

Foster the people, Pumped up kicks.

Fun loving criminals, Scooby snacks.

Wheatus, Teenage dirtbag.

The La's, There she goes.

The Connels, 74-75.

Crowded House, Weather with you.

Kula Shaker, Hush.

Monaco, What do you want from me.

The Wannadies, You and me song.

Bastille, Pompeii.

Cornershop, Brimful of asha.

The Waterboys, Whole of the moon.

Bonus round... Anything by Oasis but it must be at the top of the hour.

I could go on but I am boring myself now. Message for any further top tips.

Good luck everyone. 👍

New year same 15 year old playlist all your songs are very tired same old same old utter garbage

Absolutely crap same crap every day

My parents have this radio on in the house and I absolutely despise it. They play the same 10 songs everyday but in a different order and the same crappy b-sides nobody cares about. That stupid horn on rock and roll football gets very stale and annoying, fed up of all the ads saying how you can win money however I don't believe it at all. Right now it feels like absolute oasis/blur as that's all they only play, when it was that brit pop summer (i call it sh*t pop) they played the same songs they usually do and just called it something else! Where Real music matters... yeah right

When someone is trying to reset a password and you say you are going to send a reset password email, please send it straight away, or my mind will bounce to the next thing and you’ve lost a listener. So annoying having to log in to listen on the App.

Wow, the female and male presenters seem to have been talking about....hamsters....all morning.
Had l wanted to listen to a chat show, which l don't, I'd have gone to a dedicated chat radio show, but, l wanted to listen to rock music.
My favourite, Planet Rock, was unavailable for some reason!
This is my first and last listen to Absolute Rock!

I listen to absolute 80's . This station thinks the 80's music scene consisted of just 10 songs because that's all I hear. The same 10 songs on every day. I won't be listening anymore to this God awful rubbish. Absolute 80's?more Absolute shite!

I have been a listener since the very first day of the Absolute Radio, I loved it. However, since they lost their place on FM list it is going downhill very fast.
I regularly listen to main station in the morning on my way to work (show with Dave Berry), on my way home from work(Richie and Bush, love you guys, Absolutely hilarious), have it on when I am home on the weekends, playing in the background.
Since they changed from FM to AM and is only available via DAB, smart speakers, web browser or blasted Rayo app, I have noticed I no longer listen to it as much as before, for the following reasons:
1 - breakfast radio with Dave Berry, still very funny, but over filled with competitions related to promoting sponsor advertising- it has become all about sponsors
2 - I have become increasingly fed up with trying to play the radio at home on my smart TV browser via website - it will randomly decide it does not want to play and the little play button will be on contious loop, for hours... And I have no intention of changing my habits, always played radio on TV when at home.
3 - the said website is collecting data that I do not agree with. There are hundres of third parties that data is shared with. The statement on the Privacy Manager, on their website ( blasted Rayo) says "Please note if you use our website free of charge you must consent to advertising and tracking, among other things..."
UK law, specifically the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, generally does not permit websites to force data collection on users.

So I guess, this will be the end of Absolute Radio for me. Good bye Absolute.

Same old songs nothing new mental health going through the roof.shut the thing down I am in work with it on sending me mad.

Gone bad only adverts we here from 4 different gold companies awfull

Absolute radio was much better when it didn't have people talking bollocks and just played the music.

Repeatedly playing the same 20 tracks for the last 3 years.
Absolute sh@t

I have been a listener for many years,and Absolute Radio USED to be good, but, and sadly, that is no longer the case. At work I m, literally, forced to listen, daily, and it is painful!
There are hundreds of thousands of 'popular songs' on offer however Absolute choose from a relatively small play list and 'boring' just doesn't cut it!
Tis very sad, indeed, I wish them well....

Just awful, 😞 guess the car horn I mean is this really your game? Just shut this poor poor station off and do everyone in the world a favour

Like everyone else,what a load of shite!,,, Repeat,Repeat. They are not the only ones though. The rest of these so called ‘vintage’ radio stations,Magic,Heart to name but 2 are the same. I am sure they put work experience kids on to host the shows, waffle,waffle, and have no idea of the type of music they are playing,,,,,,,,why put. 20 year old playing 80 ‘s music when they weren’t even born 💩
