Agreeing to disagree?

A reminder that no two announcers are exactly alike, as this back announcing from 1988 illustrates:

"101.1 FM, WMRY, That's Yes, 'I've Seen All Good People.'  It's from their 1971 album.  Lineup on this album, let's see who they were: OK, Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Tony Kaye, Bill Bruford.  Yes, definitely one of their better lineups.  (Of) course, (whenever) they have Bill Bruford, it's a better lineup.  What?  You disagree?  Well, you're entitled to do that."

Many DJs would start their back announcing of that Yes tune similarly, but very few would end it in the offbeat manner that announcer did.
