Favourite RADIO D.J.'s

[Arthur]

Mark Radcliffe

Best thing on the radio back in the day. How they got away with half the stuff they did in the afternoon I'll never know!

Horny

 

[beardy gull]

Mark Radcliffe.
Adam & Joe.
Can't stand Scott Mills, I'm afraid. He was shit on Buzzcocks aswell.

 

[Stat Brother]

Peter Allen

And then in no particular order

Danny Baker
Colin Murray
Mark & Lard (in Radio 1 days)
Simon Mayo (Now not then)

 

[Hatterlovesbrighton]

Chris Moyles
Mark and Lard (mid 90s late night on Radio 1 was amazing radio)
Adam and Joe

 

[JJ McClure]

As a Radio 1 listener I like Moyles, Mills and Zane, but can't stand Colin or Edith.

 

[n1 gull]

Steve Lamacq, 6 music in the late afternoon/evening. Especially on Thursday when they do single out

Obviously John Peel, the defining point of my music taste from the age of 14/15. I did actually cry when I heard...

I'm surprised about the Colin Murrays. I only hear him on 5Live, but find him quite annoying (though not as annoying as Nicky Campbell, who makes me want to hit things).

Simon Mayo's good these days, let's guests speak...

 

[Austrian Gull]

Danny Baker is a good choice.

Also really like Hawksbee & Jacobs, the only show worth listening to on Talkballs.

 

[Herm]

Trevor Nelson and Ferne Cotton. Zane Lowe is a TWAT!

 

[Barry Izbak]

Nicky Horne - 8pm til midnight - on the fabulous Planetrock
Danny Baker on Radio London in the afternoons

 

[The Large One]

Straight after the show on Saturday, we were talking to Dick Knight and he was regaling us with further tales of mild significance.

In 1964, as a young Ad Executive, he sold airplay time to a stockings company (can’t remember the name). But the company was so enamoured with this pirate radio station - Radio Caroline - which had not long started, and the chatter and banter between the presenters, that, rather than have a proper 30-second commercial, they’d have the DJ talk about the product during the programme. The advertisers were so delighted that they kept this going for quite a while. As a result, the DJ’s profile was raised, and the radio station went from strength to strength.

My point is there are many things good things Dick has done, and that I am pleased about. However, I for one demand a public apology not just to Brighton fans but to the nation as a whole, for his role in the rise and rise of... Tony Blackburn.

 

[Jam The Man]

locally, Anna B on Splash FM on the Drive show is top notch

 

[Jam The Man]

Smashy & Nicey :yahoo:

SMASHIE: Right. Well, one thing I do know is that, er, today is Tuesday, which is quite literally… Tuesday.

NICEY: I love Tuesdays, don't you mate?

SMASHIE: Certainly do mate, it's one of the best between Monday and Wednesday type days we've got.

NICEY: It's the only between Monday and Wednesday type day we've got, mate. It may not have the glamour and excitement of a Saturday night or the mournfulness of a Monday morn. But it's our Tuesday, the good old fashioned, honest to goodness, down to earth, great British Tuesday. And if those Eurocrats bureaucrats and other bonkers-trats try and take our Tuesday away from us THEY'LL HAVE TO GET PAST ME FIRST! And if they think I'm going to start my show by saying 'bonjourno doodle doo' and 'gutenmorgenmongous', they've got another think coming.

SMASHIE: I don't think they are gonna do that, mate.

Also really like Hawksbee & Jacobs, the only show worth listening to on Talkballs.

I agree, Hawksbee and Jacobs are very good on TalkSport

I would actually listen to old John Peel shows if they replayed them every week. I still have sessions on tapes but alas no tape deck to play them on.

 

[Mellotron]

Going on podcasts...

1. Russell Brand (not surprised that this is the first vote for him really, but his podcasts through 07/08 were consistently hilarious)
2. Adam and Joe
3. Jon Richardson (worth checking out on iTunes, not laugh out loud funny, but very genuine, talk quite a lot about football as well with his co-host Matt Ford who is a Forest fan)

 

[alex_brighton]

anyone apart from chris moyles, he is a complete cock

Responding to my own thread, came across this tonight a series of listen again docos on youth culture, introduced by John Peel.
