I would suggest that anyone that feels that certain songs are not "progworthy" should scour the moon playlist.
Please render a list.

Apparently not this time or the shouts wouldn't have been commenting so harshly about it. If you're going to have a show here, you are going to have to accept the negative with the positive commentary.

Who made "rantings and pompous statements"? I joked about the "commercial" nature of what you played. I can't turn on Ye Olde Classic Rot Radio without hearing Rough Boys. Seriously, that is one way overplayed track. If you disagree, you're living in a alternate universe from the rest of us.

You need to put this into perspective. The station is a progressive rock station. People come here to hear progressive rock music. You've had more than a couple of shows which have really pushed the envelope and listeners have commented about the fit.

I mentioned before that there is still a wealth of music that would benefit being played in its entirety in the current library. You don't have to play it or anything else you don't want to but, if you don't want to, then be prepared to face the criticisms of the listeners. They are, after all, what this station is all about.
