1. Quinn and Banana-B94 in Pittsburgh.
Quinn went on to become an obnoxious RW Rush-a-be, and from what I've heard from people who have met him, he's a complete dick.

3. Steve Dahl and the Coho Breakfast Club on Loop 98
Chicago. MC of the infamous between-game Disco Demolition at Comiskey Park where he blew up a stack of disco records, causing a riot and leading the White Sox to forfeit the second game of the doubleheader. 1979, ahhh it feels like just twenty-five years ago...

5. Shit, Dale is on my fave station Oldies 103...
He was doing some lame-o bit this week pretending to be the Queen and Camilla; he's as funny now as he was 30 years ago...which is to say as funny as a toothache...

7. He came to my High School for career day in 1971. We gaot to see him
and he was long-haired, overweight, smelly (BO and cig smoke), had stains on a t-shirt,looked like he was stoned and was basically a condescending asshole to all of us.
Shattered image!

17. listened to Biondi at night, WLS was the only station I could pick
up at night that played Top 40 music. All the way down in Southern Kentucky, I might add.

He was crazy, wasn't he?

11. Moby "git yer lazy asses up!" and Matthews on 97 Rock in Houston.
Last I heard, Moby was doin' his schtick in Dallas, while Matthews turned into a super-conservative shouting head on KSEV-AM and was subsequently busted for exposing his Satan stick to his neighbors' kid.

12. The Greaseman, on DC101
During my highschool and college years. No real crazy DJs when I was growing up in Flint, that I can remember.

13. I don't remember any obnoxious ones
I only remember Murray the K, and he was loud but he wasn't obnoxious.

Hell, he was even the fifth Beatle (for at least 15 minutes 'long about 1964).
