I wouldn't want to read a board filled with obsessional ranting like yours. The BBC has an abligation to its readers to keep their stuff varied and interesting, and if you were allowed to do what you'd like, you'd bore every single reader they had into leaving.

I've never knowingly heard any of the groups you recommend here, and nothing you've posted has done a single solitary thing to make me want to - rather the contrary, I tend to think "if those groups only appeal to repetitive bores they can't be for me".

If you're the same Lizzie Cornish who writes for quilting magazines you must be getting a LOT of help from your editor. Perhaps you'd be better off writing about music on edited media too.
