Do people who enjoy Noory have poor taste?

[NefariousBanana]

I have a few friends who actually prefer Noory over Punnett and Knapp.  I still think that's ridiculous.  Do you believe these people have poor taste in radio hosts?

[HorrorReporter]

Yes

[aldousburbank]

I think they have poor hearing.

Is this a trick question? 

[NefariousBanana]

No.  The question is do these people have bad taste for preferring Noory over Punnet and Knapp?

[Eddie Coyle]

    In a word: Absofuckinlutely. The people that Bill Hicks so astutely described as "bovine America" would love Noory.

[Scully]

No.  The question is do these people have bad taste for preferring Noory over Punnet and Knapp?

Then this is not like Michael V's question, "Can Noory pronounce anything correctly?"

a) No
b) No

Sorry, was jes joshin' you, NB.

Wait... do they actually 'enjoy' Noory, or simply prefer him to Ian Punnett and George Knapp.  Perhaps they simply try to tolerate him in order to get what they can from the guests and topics, and really don't care for the other two. 

If they simply prefer him over the other two, well, I can't really quibble much with that.  I can't listen to any of them.

Ian, as an 8th grade smartass, is a real douchebag.  The frustrating part is he actually can do very good shows - he just refuses to most of the time. 

George Knapp, well, he is amazingly dull.  And he seems to seek out the most severely demented folks possible as guests, perhaps people that the editor at his regular job wouldn't let him do a story on, people more screwed up than Whitley Streiber.  That, or some cult member (Raelians), or some political hack (John Edwards campaign manager.  Seriously).  The only thing I remember from the small number of his shows I've heard that wasn't just a waste of time were the updates on the wild horses - not exactly a paranormal topic.


So we really need to know more about what they actually say about Noory himself in order to answer...

I like Ian & Knapp, and Noory can be okay if he has a decent guest, though that doesn't happen too often IMHO.  If I had my way Ian would be on 5 days & Knapp 2, or vice versa, and better guest hosts.  Not that it will ever happen.

[Gassy Man]

You don't have to but it helps.

I think it was my dad who ranked the hosts as follows:

1. Art Bell (of course)
2. George Noory
3. Ian Punnett
4. George Knapp.

Mine, other than AB, was the exact opposite.

[Morgus]

How about this order:
1. Art Bell
2. George Knapp
3. various guest hosts
99. Ian Punnett
999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999. George Noory

[NefariousBanana]

I usually rotate Punnett and Noory depending on how pissed I am at either of them.

    I'd go...
   1...Art
   2  Knapp
   3  Ian
   4  Guest hosts
   5  DEATH(my own)
   6   Noory
