Top 10 Shock Jocks
« on: March 15, 2006, 05:51:41 PM »

Somebody posted a link to somebody's list of the Top 10 Shock Jocks on the Coast to Coast board.  

It's probably as valid as the Talker's Magazine list and this list didn't leave out Opie and Anthony. (See today's NY Daily News: "Michael Harrison, editor of Talkers magazine, told Opie and Anthony last week it was an "oversight" not to put O&A among the top 100 talk show hosts. Talkers' annual list had O&A in its second tier.")

Here's the list.  


1.  Mancow (TRN)
2.  Tom Leykis (Westwood One)
3.  Howard Stern (Sirius Satellite Radio)
4.  Opie and Anthony (XM Radio)
5.  Alan Jones (2GB, Australia)
6.  Liz Wilde (WRXK, Ft. Meyers)
7.  Bubba the Love Sponge (Sirius Satellite Radio)
8.  Mike Church (Sirius Satellite Radio)
9.  Ron and Fez (XM Radio)
10. Steve Dahl (WCKG Chicago)

A female shock jock down in Sun City!  Who'd have guessed?

Why do I think the creator of that list LIVES in Ft. Meyers? (Otherwise, who the HELL ever heard of Liz Wilde!?)

Wasn't she at WAAF in Boston back in the 90s?  Ft. Myers seems to be a career move in the wrong direction.

I've never heard of Jones, Church or Ron & Fez either.  I wouldn't call Leykis a "shock jock", more just an obnoxious syndicated talk host.  What about Johnboy & Billy?  They're pretty obnoxious too.

If by "shock jock" you mean someone who pushes peoples' buttons in an extreme way, I would think Savage belongs on the list somewhere...
