    Petsounds by Tom Dunne. Its %£*&ing great. I've been listening since the beginning and it has been consistently amazing.
    Great music with a smidgen of banter!

    Yep Tom Dunne rules, with Donal Dineen a solid runnner up!

    There also a guy on Caroline on wednesday nights between
    10 and 1 who's great, a bit like John Peel in tone and respect for the music.

    Mike.

    Oh yeah Ronan Collins is good too (when slamming Louis satan walsh!).

    Tom Dunne, without fail (congrats on recent radio award). Donal Dineen, also good. The fella on Radio One (John Kelly) that does the mystery train is also good, but variable. Dave Fanning, too and Ruth Scott, and the Album Show on 2FM (american sounding guy). There is also a new bloke on late on FM104.

    Today FM though deserve mention for praise. Besides those already mentioned, some of their other shows are also excellent - River of Soul, Dad Rock are weeklies on a Sunday night and are excellent, music lovers programmes. For a commercial station it would've been far easier for them to pump out 24 hour popular ****e.

    The Chris Moyles Show on BBC Radio 1 is unbeatable.He dosenmt play a huge amount of good music but the show is the funniest thing on radio.

    Tom Dunne makes me want to smoke crack...
    There's some sort of smugness to him that drives me crazy. The man must be stopped right now.
    Give me John Creadon and day.

    I'm with you on that one man. Tom Dunne sucks. His spineless interview techniques really suck. Did anyone hear his interview with Mercury Rev when they played the Shambassador in Dec? His forth question? You guys live near New York, September 11th must have, ehh, must, err, have, been tough to watch? The silence from Grasshopper spoke volumes. Tom Dunne is to radio what Pat Kenny is to Friday night TV "chat".

    And as for that Girlie Show on Phantom...

    I "still" like Dave Fanning, after all these years.
    He could possibly make his show slightly more interactive though..

    John Kellys a gas man.
    Tom Dunne is fine although his range isn't great.
    Pearl on Phantom and Lolo on Xfm have very fine shows.

    Here Comes The Night and Headphones on TodayFM are by far the best music radio out there at the moment.

    Donal Dineen, or whoever researches the music he plays should be given an award for giving people something better to listen to.

    I cant stand John Creadon's show. Its full of tripe and his accent does my head in. Dineens show is really good although I only listen in a few nights a week. The 3 hrs of Petsounds gives me my fix of the wireless.
    I must listen in more often. These nights I find myself listening to Ruth Scott on 2fm..........dont ask me why???:confused:
