We all know the top "rated" talk shows but do the ratings reflect your preferences? Are the highest rated necessarily the most talented? (video)

1. Rush

3. Medved
4. John & Ken
5. Micheal Berry
No one beats Rush. I keep a picture of his boyhood home in Cape Giradeau, Mo. in my office as liberal bait. I work in higher education and liberals love small talk. When they ask me if that is my house I say, “No that is the home Rush Limbaugh grew up in.” Every time it has served to get the liberal out of my office within less than a minute or so; including a former president of the college.
While I am on the topic, the Navy Union Jack Flag that flew during the American Revolution works well at clearing liberals out of your office. Most of them don’t know the difference between it and the stars and bars.

Amended to add Tammy Bruce.
He's good. His is an extreme example of a guest-driven show. I don't think I've ever heard him do a monologue.
Hugh Hewitt and Dennis Prager are less extreme examples of good guest-driven shows.
Of course, Rush is the ultimate example of the opposite end of spectrum. He rarely has guests. There was that time he had three callers on at once two from Kennebunkport, Maine, and one from Tallahassee. Two presidents and governor congratulating him on 20 years on the air.
Mark Levin and Michael Savage are also primarily host-driven, although they are quite different.
Monologues are hard to do.
Levin
Alex Jones
Rush
Beyond that I only like listen to a few good commentators that have shows on YouTube.
None.
I don’t see the “need” to have a talking head instruct me how to think nor what to believe. I find them all boring and redundant to logical thought processes, but I do understand their usefulness in this age of “Low Information Citizens”.
That is not what Conservative talk radio does, or is supposed to do. By the way, you got that "Low Information" bit from, uh, Rush Limbaugh, a talk radio host...
And a shout out to Andrew Wilkow. He could easily be top 5 as well.
Roy Masters! The original self help talk radio host.
Steve Deace show.
Yep! I think so too.
