Jim Vann, Kicks 101.5 is the best. That lady who does the Scott Antiques Market commercials is the worst, but I certainly remember what she’s selling, so her voice can’t be that bad.

Best: Jamie Massey-99x/Q100 traffic girl. I think she has a girl-next-door kinda voice, and she’s hot also.

Cotton ball: Leslie Fram. And i really like 99x, but her voice just kills me.

Best Voice: It has to be Lois Reitzes on 2nd Cup Concert on WABE…smoooooooth…she’s in her fifties, and she looks as good as she sounds. Bravo!

Worst Voice: Kim Peterson…his fake laugh propels my finger to the next channel on my car radio faster than anything else.

Jamie Massey is good. Mark Stulberger from 680 makes me want to pour hot candle wax in my ears. Unclever + Unfunny = Awful.

Rodney Ho, I am one of your biggest fan. I read your blog daily. Therefore, I must inform you that the blogs content is rapidly detoriating. You must recharge your batteries heading into 2007. My 5 year old could have created today’s topic. However, I will remain a supporter of your work as you improve the topics……….

Worst voice hands down is Brandon Adams who does dome weekend shifts on 790 the Zone. The guy sounds like he has a mouthful of food in is mouth or needs a tongue reductiuon.

I agree Jamie Massey has a great voice. I love listening to her do traffic.

Lester Fram has the best voice, by far.

Seriously, Holly Firfer has the worst voice and is the most annoying person on the radio. She can’t be that stupid.

The Right Revered Andy on Album 88 has not only the best voice, but the best show on radio. Margot from DAVE-Fm is a close second!

Best voice: Jaime Massey. I also think Leslie (when she’s not hollering and laughing) and Delilah have soothing voices - like ones you’d hear on a s*x-talk show.

Worst voice: Jen Hobbey from The Bert Show.

Worst voice: (tie) 790 The Zone’s Jeff Wolverton (he stammers too much), Clark Howard (could it get any whinier?), and WSB’s Chris Krok (his stumbling, confused style is kinda, sorta-I don’t know-IRRITATING!)

Best: Dylan on Q100

Worst: Kelly McCoy & Jordan Graye on B98.5. They make me want to drive my car into a telephone pole :-) ~Also, any DJ on star 94 because they all suuuuuuuuuck!

Some of my favs would be Andy on 88.5 and Margot from DaveFM.

Worst would be Leslie from 99X. Shes very clear and concise, but something about her voice really turns me off.

Steve Craig has an engaging voice. Axel sounds like a yank and makes Atlanta radio sound that much smarter. Leslie doesn’t talk that much except during her segments, so I can’t really gauge that one. Sean does his bullhorn voice and it is funny. He sounds genuine the rest of the time. Dekker sounds like a neurotic college kid, quirky but strangely engaging. Tracy St. George on Q100 has a peppy feel. Jennifer Reed only has a job because she’s hot and they can plaster her body all over the 96Rock website so some guys can wach off while listening to her. Same with Lexie Kaye but at least she doesn’t try to sound “sexy” like Jennifer Reed who sounds like a stripper. Larry and Eric sounded like arrogant pricks, as did SS and Rhodes. Whip in the mornings sounds like a cracked out Ryan Seacrest. Take that as you will. Worst voice on radio is Tom Shane. Period. I will never shop at The Shane Co.

I loooov listening to Jasmine’s voice on 88. Andy and Marlo are my second runner ups.

I cannot handle listening to Marvin or Eric. the station loses me when voices like them speak.

I also like Leslie on 99x. why is everyone bashing her?

Best: Melissa Carter on Q100…I always stop to listen when she speaks…great radio voice

Worst: WAS Stacy C…I NEVER understood how she stayed employed so long…every morning when she would do the entertainment news bit, she was just so obnoxious and her voice is like nails on a chalkboard. LUCKILY, she’s gone, SO

The NEW WORST: Taylor on Sirius Cosmo Radio…I DON’T UNDERSTAND IT! She could be worse than Stacy!!!

No I am not trying to sound like a bigot, but to me the WORSE sounding voices on radio in the ATL have got to be the “Two Live Stews” Doug and Ryan Stewart sound so uneducated. Who are they speaking to with their “street” talk??
A close second to being the worse is Chuck Smith. Thanks for taking him off the Falcons broadcasts two years ago. Whew…

The worst and most annoying is that silly Capn’ Herb on WSOB. The next worse is ole repeat Scott Slade. There is an idiot that couldn’t say crap if he had his mouth full, and that is Tribble on the 790 Zone sports report.

The best sounding voice including delivery and humour is Chris Rude on 680 The Fan. Byt there is a reason he is on radio instead of TV.

Best-don’t really have one. I stopped listening to the radio in the mornings after the Regular Guys got put off. But if I had to pick I’d go with anyone on NPR

Worst- Greg Street on V103. His half monotone, half screaming delivery sucks. Hey Greg, you got a voice for newspaper!! Hell I don’t know if he’s still on the air.

Frank Ski sounds like a punk and seems a little nasally sometimes.
