Which do you prefer and why?

They’re different types of music. Jenny plays more mixes of songs and ones recently released. Dec more plays the original version.

Dec playlist can be very repetitive even though I like the songs but same 15/20 songs every week but in a different order and he’ll play certain versions of songs no matter what they person request ie maniac. He might not like it but if loads of people request it then why not play it. spqr hypnotic state version he’s released I don’t like it but each to their own. I get the feeling we will never the original again. Also I don’t understand why he goes I’m here every weekend when the show is recorded. He never mixes at all.

Jenny can sometimes be not for everyone’s taste due to version of it and might be a bit to heavy for some. When she’s off and Jay is in he can be more like Dec’s show than Jenny’s.

Each to their own but I listen back than listen live and there’s a lot worse on the radio

I haven’t heard Jenny (or anything on 2FM for that matter) in years but I used to like her show. Wasn’t it quite like Dec’s show years ago - i.e. a bias towards the familiar ‘90’s dance classics? She even did a tour with the RTE orchestra, I went to one of the gigs, it was mostly the stuff that Dec plays now.

I didn’t realise Dec’s show is recorded? He seems to read out live requests on a lot of shows I’ve heard. I like his show and I love the ‘90’s stuff but I agree it’s a bit repetitive, especially on 2 consecutive evenings.

When he’s not taking requests or really commenting on stuff it’s recorded. You can tell from the sound also. Usually when he’s around the country somewhere

The Thursday and Friday editions of An taobh tuathail with Cian O’C on radio an gaeltacht have them both beat in my opinion.

Absolutely!! Belter of a show!!

The Electric Disco was great when it started, as hearing these 90's bangers on the radio was quite novel...her show has evolved, but its still quite good. The early Electric Disco's and BRB were great to have on in the Kitchen or Out the back during summer, but that would be it, whereas I'll listen to the current Electric Disco's any time during the week...working, out for a walk, exercising, just fancy a bop as there will more often than not be stuff I've not heard before.

Dec's show then took on the 90's thing, and it can be enjoyable as he does sound like he really enjoys what he's doing, but I agree the two nights is too much.

Decs show is what Jennys was five years ago in terms of being classics/requests.
