Greatest of all time? Are we just talking A.M? Just talkback? Or all radio. It all depends on the criteria set for GREATEST. Seems to me that there is too much differeing criteria. Most influential? Jones. Most controversial? Sandilands. Logevity? Laws. Most cutting edge? Mulray. But you also can't ignore the pioneers and what they brought to radio that is now standard fare. Kennedy, Newton, Davey. Then there was Club Veg. Even 2SM's Good Guys. All brought something to the medium for which todays stars owe a debt. The greatest? We shouldn't try to compare. Rather we should acknowledge each for their contibution, and as a whole be graeful for their legacy that makes Australian radio as diverse and as entertaining as it is.
Yes agreed.... and who could forget Wayneee Poo on Breakfast or the great days of Malcolm T. Elliot and Peter Shannahan ... great days of radio. Hang on I forget Ian MacRae and lets also pay homage to Ron E Sparx. Theres one of the great voices of Radio still going and sounding great.
