Please take the time to read further down, where the someone makes assumptions about listeners in a quite derogatory manner, much the same as he does on his station, he has never grasped that not everyone wants to request a track to make them look clever, and in most cases would prefer to request something they want to hear, popular or obscure.  Requests should be about what someone wishes to hear, simply branding listeners that request popular tracks as somehow not being knowledgeable, is laughable and in many ways is simply insulting.  Tell me what is the point of having 36,000 tracks if someone cannot make a request of a more popular tune without it being negatively commented on.  Get over yourself.

Hey Swerve!

Hey Duck!

Hey BIll!

Ed Sheeran, what a p**ck, another talentless wannabe that is under the illusion that he is somehow good enough to even grace the same venue as Pink Floyd.

I have to say that this story is almost as funny as The Guardian calling themselves a newspaper.  The end of the sham that is the Olympics won't come quickly enough for me, and I'm sure many others.  Mr Sheeran is yet another example of why the music industry has suffered falling sales, if all you sell is crap, don't be surprised if no one wants to pay for it.
