Still doing a fantastic job, Adam and Will with Steve Canane in the morning Myf in the afternoon was my favourite line up. Roy and HG still do calls on radio national (it think) had were doing Sochi reports with Samsung website. Jay and the Doctor's tsunami song was a classic, along with the "friday f...wit",  Restoring the Balance was a classic, Dave Callans regular late night callers were very funny and love listening to John Saffran and Father Bob on Sundays if I get a chance. Unearthed does more in 1 year than the whole of commercial radio ever did for local artists. Last but not least is my favourite science hour with Dr Karl

Yeah my favourite JJJ era as well. Then again, like everything in my life, I'm stuck in a time vortex where everything still exists from the 70's, 80's and 90's  8)

JJJ revolutionised aussie youth music culture from they day they hit the airwaves in the seventies, and I spent many a bong-filled night with JJJ in the background in the early eighties.  They were the more sultry flipside to Countdown. 

I particularly miss Mac Cocker's smoky languorous DJ voice at 3am (he went to sleep at the mic one nite......just the sound of him gently snoring.....classic....), and also miss reggae music which they were totally obsessed with for a time, along with thousands of us pimply urban and coastal hippy types.....
