It's a tough choice between these three ego-ridden talent vacuums who's utter contempt for their audience is matched only by their general ignorance of popular music - which seems not to be a problem for Radio 1.

it was close for me between Colin and Moyles but I voted for that weedy, spineless brown nosed fuckwit that is Colin Murray. I hope he brought back herpes or crabs from Glastonbury...

Oh they were at it again this morning. I heard a bit of Joss Stone and Moyles on the way to work. Ms Stone saying "Oh Coldplay were excellent" little comment of any other acts that played; she said it as though reading from a big idiot card on the studio wall or something.
Coldplay must have the cleanest rear ends around lately...

Maybe it's because I'm from Northern Ireland, but I'm quite partial to Colin Murray. Moyles is irritating, but he's a great DJ (very technically competent, very knowledgable about radio production techniques, would basically be better as a producer but can't keep his ego in check).
So... JK and Joel it is. They are local radio through and through. Not an ounce of talent or originality in their banter, their production and their ideas. That sequence on Saturdays where their show segues into Sarah Cox is the worst four hours of radio you can find ona national broadcaster.

Let's all meet in London and have a proper witch hunt, pitchforks n all and march up to the BBC. Mmm, I like your style. It's extraordinary to me that Radio 1 has embraced this so-called "personality" DJ thing so wholeheartedly, and depressing that their biggest rated show (Moyles' Breakfast Show) plays, at best, 5 songs an hour, (all chosen by the producer) and even then often fails to announce what the songs were. Music is presented as an annoying interuption in the flow of the show. Precious wonder that it's so tough for new acts to break through to a wide audience these days. Despite all it's crowing about the championing of new music, what the station has actually done is turn music into a minority interest, tucked away on the night shifts, with an endless succession of self-absorbed daytime banter taking it's place. In the current daytime lineup only Jo Whiley remains as first and foremost a music DJ, passionate about breaking new tracks, and exposing new artists. I can't help thinking that her days at the station must be numbered. I still can't make my mind up on who's the worst of all. Moyles started the trend, although, technically, it was Chris Evans who stole this style of presentation from the US and shipped it into Radio 1 in the first place. Moyles is also almost totally uninterested, and criminally unaware of music, which is inexcusable for any Radio 1 DJ. Murray is far more aware and far more interested in music than Moyles, which is a major plus, but is also far more desperate, grating and witless. His combination of perpetual laddishness with navel-gazing self-obsession is rarely less than nauseating. As for JKANDJOEL, I would completely concur with MrDiscoPop: they are the personification of the cliché local radio jock - a smashy and nicey for the 21st century, but with added misogyny and boorishness. Totally Vile. Plus they've presided over the total crucification of the sacred institution that is (or was) the Top 40 countdown.

Colin Murray, for interuppting Rufus in the middle of Crumb By Crumb to show "The best rock band in the world!" Primal Scream. And just for being a complete twat throughout most of the Glastonbury coverage. Why Colin and Edith BBC? Why them?
Oh, and for him and Edith going on about bloody Kasabian's set as THE highlight of Glastonbury for about 10 minutes. What a cunt.

JK and Joel have just been given Nemone's early morning show: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/4641119.stmPros: They might have to give up their weekend show, so I will hear less of them. Cons: This slot is the training ground for a 'proper' daytime show (Kevin Greening, Moyles and Scott Mills all started here). Mind you, it doesn't seem to have done anything for Nemone's career so we can all hope it has the same effect on that brainless pair of twats.

Well, it's neck and neck - 15 votes for each contender at the time of writing.
It just demonstrates what a strong field R1 has put up for this coveted title.

colin murray has the most beautiful accent. no credit to him of course, he just happened to grow up in an area full of people with gorgeous accents.
colin and edith are evil. they are like the nme personified.
for this reason colin is the biggest twat on the station. jk and joel shouldn't breathe a sigh of relief though - the tweedledum and tweedledee of radio 1 aren't far behind.

Who ever thought it would be acceptable to remove JK & Joel from 106 person-less-rich-and-brilliant-than-me etown Backwater Fm and put them on Radio 1 should be shot.
They best not put them on early morning cause I cant be held responsible for my actions at the preceading day at work.
Im sharpening my pitchfork as we speak.

How can we have a discussion about who is the biggest twat on Radio 1 without mentioning the unbearably pretentious and personalityless Jo Whiley.
Horrible woman.

Jo Whiley is a bit dull but her programme is good - new music and some interesting guests, and the quiz is quite good. She does have enthusiasm for the music she likes, even if it is sometimes a bit too indie for my liking. She did play Annie a few times so I'll let her off.

I can't believe none of you voted for Zane Lowe?
You'd expect a specialist music show to not assume that the listenership are not peons and introduce and link the songs subtely and normally, but uuurgh! why did he assume that young people would want the same intensity on the internet, computer games and MTV dating game shows on their radio shows?

I vote JK and Joel. They really are bad local radio personified. Radio 1 has been amazing in the past, using their position to give masses of new acts national exposure, introducing us to music we may never have heard of otherwise, experimenting with shows like Chris Morris (that people still talk about fondly to this day)...
And now here we are in 2005, where the station's supposed big talent is a pair of high-pitched dullards who tell us that if you listen to that last song really carefully, it sounds like they're singing something really funny.
I heard a bit of their chart show a few weeks ago. Their big joke was that they were 'arguing' over how to pronounce 'Inaya Day'. A few days later I heard an advert for their chart show. They were still banging on about how to pronounce 'Inaya Day'.
By Christ, they're boring.
