Music mags as a kid

6 is like a massive buffet. You'll always find something to like, but you'll never like all on offer.

SL sounds liker he's talking to teenagers in their bedroom doing geography homework, but he plays stuff.

I really detest Laverne. Really REALLY. But the music is OK.

Mary Anne 'i'm from a tiny little village called Garstang' Hobbs plays some brilliant stuff and her story must be a good read.

Keaveney is an arse. The Peter Kay of 6 'Did i mention garlic bread'?

Marc Riley seems to have toned down a bit of the shouty stuff but the intro jingle sends me packing.

Giddy & Co, rarely hear, but wouldn't tune elsewhere if listening.

Ravo is 100% brilliant, dry and knowledgeable about his stuff.

Rad Mac are really good, bit lost at weekend because of the time available, but great all the same.

6? Love it.

Craig Charles is ace and sits in for a lot of others when they are off.

I can't stand Giles "I love really shit Jazz' Peterson

I also can't stand Cerys Matthews on Sunday mornings

I really like Keaveney he makes me smile

Love Iggy but my favourite is probably Huey on a Saturday morning, of course Ravenscroft is ace as is Marc Riley.

Liz Kershaw is good to when she isn't obsessing over Bruce Springsteen!

Interesting stuff.

Hate Craig Charles with an unnatural intensity.

Giles is boring, but I don't listen long enough. Footy on at that time.

Cerys is a legend. Don't always like the show, don't always listen, but she is a young marble giant of Welshdom.

As for Keaveney, Jez mate he's shark fodder.
 
(Ahem) Look In.

Then Smash Hits. Vital for song lyrics and Bros posters 😂. Ah thank god for football saving me from that in 1990...

Laverne is just irritating. I used to fancy her ridiculously when she was in Kenickie though. She was in the NME being all wry and beautiful and in a band and packing in doing her A-levels write when I was at college. She's so bland now. :-(

She's become very twee and mumsy; like a trainee Jo Whiley.

Nobody cares about your kids, just play some decent ** songs!
 
Dont think I ever read anything in them,just looked at who was playing where. I have vague recollections of floppy plastic 45 rpm's as a freebie in some magazine/paper, can anyone else.
 
Sounds in the early 80’s featured all the oi! and punk bands I was into at the time. Gary Bushell acted like the godfather of oi! and a cheerleader for some of the politics some of the bands were spouting out. Absolute c@ckend who went to work for the S@n. Marrie Ann Hobbs lived round the corner from me and was 2 years above at school. Can’t be @rsed listening to most radio stations- stop sh!ting on play some decent music. (Although Craig Charles does play the awesome Smoove and Turrell)

Yeah, they were a thing. Often had album samplers on, you'd get 30 seconds of about 6 tracks. Flexidiscs
 
Been reading them for 30 yrs and still haven't got the foggiest what most of the reviewers are trying to communicate.

'Crunchy kraut-rock riffs overlayed with shimmering jingle-jangle melodies will make you feel like a north pole elf drinking a milkshake'.

Complete nonsense to anyone who isn't a massive **.
