I tend to only listen to R6 or R Leeds. Am I alone in never having knowingly heard an Ed Sheeran song?

You're a lucky barsteward.

6 Music is good, i do like Radio X, but they have started playing Rag N Bone man and Ed Sheeran... so i've cooled off on that station. XS Manchester is my favourite by far at the minute

For anyone interested - this Friday is 1994 day on 6 Music; promises to be a heady mix of the sounds of my salad days - thank goodness for the iPlayer radio app!

How have you managed that?!

I largely ignore the mainstream but it's hard when every outlet is ramming crap down your throat or trying to sell you something.

Ed Sheeran; on his 3rd album..... Still needs co-writers.

Pop trash

I couldn't name an Ed Sheran record either, and i could only name about three Oasis records. I'm a big 6music fan, usually i start listening from about 4pm till 10/11pm. Oasis are a band i can't stand. If they pop up on the radio or TV off it goes, like it does for anything Phil Collins is involved in. Also on my list Dance music, jazz, Aerosmith type music, acid house, handbag house, one monotonous beat house music.

Ed Sheeran, to be fair to him has a decent voice, his cover of make it rain by Foy Vance is fantastic, but he's just been overly commercialised.

I'm glad Rag n bone man is finally getting some success. He's been around years on the independent hip hop and soul scenes in the UK, and his album first major label album is a great gospel blues album

Adele be like; 'Got to let go of all of our ghosts, we ain't kids no more' but has warbled on about her ex's for 9 years / 3 albums.

Have a look at internet radios or just radio on your internet. Hundreds of thousands of free channels if you cannot be bothered to fork out for a subscription. Most types of music are catered for. No need to listen to Ed Sheeran.

I was at a mildly boozy bbq yesterday/last night and after about 25 minutes of some dross I said something like "who's this lot and can we have something decent?" Well, the housewives present and their 14 year-old daughters looked at me as if I'd just screamed "I love Donald Trump". Yes, it was Sheeran.

There's no doubt he's a talented guy, but unfortunately his music is dull as dishwater. Still couldn't name a song of his.

It's amazing how many people just casually dismiss dance music and jazz as if it's a few niche artists in a tiny percentage of popular music. The sheer quantity of music which could come under the dance banner is enormous and the influence of jazz equally so.
