Maybe Dingbod will do a Radio Two DJ poll

Can I safely assume Steve Lamacq and Zane Lowe wont be winning this?

― Herman G. Neuname, Monday, 7 April 2008 01:26 (eighteen years ago)

Voted Annie Nightingale.

You know it makes sense.

― Mark G, Monday, 7 April 2008 07:13 (eighteen years ago)

I haven't listened to her in YEARS

― Herman G. Neuname, Monday, 7 April 2008 13:12 (eighteen years ago)

she's on at 03:00, I believe.

― Mark G, Monday, 7 April 2008 13:14 (eighteen years ago)

Mary Anne Hobbes, who for all her breathy hyperbole does have a good ear for the interesting and obscure. Plus she once played one of my brother's tunes.

― chap, Monday, 7 April 2008 13:14 (eighteen years ago)

Bobby Friction is the worst, by a long stretch.

― Dom Passantino, Monday, 7 April 2008 13:21 (eighteen years ago)

Voted Lamacq because I'm an 80s baby.

― Dom Passantino, Monday, 7 April 2008 13:21 (eighteen years ago)

and after all the stick you've given him too

― Herman G. Neuname, Monday, 7 April 2008 13:45 (eighteen years ago)

I'd never even heard of Bobby Friction before.

― Herman G. Neuname, Monday, 7 April 2008 13:45 (eighteen years ago)

So no-one listens to R1 then?

― Herman G. Neuname, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 15:16 (eighteen years ago)

Bobby Friction = Punjabi guy from Hounslow, used to run Swaraj.

Annie N. on at 5am. Worth it to playback whenever during the week.

― suzy, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 15:32 (eighteen years ago)

Gilles Peterson, easily.

― Pashmina, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 15:58 (eighteen years ago)

He did play Funkadelic a lot years ago, but a lot of his stuff is too laidback for me. Not heard him in years though. A couple of my friends listened to him religiously.

― Herman G. Neuname, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 16:00 (eighteen years ago)

Voted for the Big Dawg, obv.

― Noodle Vague, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 18:57 (eighteen years ago)

Another one for the Dawg - the only reason I listen to R1 at all now.

― Dingbod Kesterson, Wednesday, 9 April 2008 11:23 (eighteen years ago)

Shouldn't Sara Cox be on this list?

She's only on maternity leave - she'll be back later this year (Of course, no-one's going to vote for her so it doesn't really matter)

― Guilty_Boksen, Wednesday, 9 April 2008 11:45 (eighteen years ago)

Oh good, so we can look forward to 10 minute go-nowhere stories about the "celebrity" babies she was hanging out with last night with the odd shit record played in-between then?

― Noodle Vague, Wednesday, 9 April 2008 11:47 (eighteen years ago)

no kelly osbourne? for shame.

hard choice between MAH and RDB here. Huw and Fabio being the only other things i listen to.

― koogs, Wednesday, 9 April 2008 13:15 (eighteen years ago)

Have they got rid of James King then?

― Dingbod Kesterson, Wednesday, 9 April 2008 13:47 (eighteen years ago)

Thanks Dingbod

Why not? Someone is bound to vote for Chris Moyles.

― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 9 April 2008 15:28 (eighteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

EXACKLY

PRIMARK LADY LURKERS!

― Dingbod Kesterson, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 11:59 (eighteen years ago)

Noel Gallagher would be furious

― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 14:20 (eighteen years ago)
