Why not stuck to your boring bands like The Fall and keep your in 

with your indie fans most of whom are too old themselves to have any 

influence on modern music.The Festive 50 how pretentious and over 

played is that.

One other thing. is your contract with the BBC until you die? it 

certinaly seems that way.A great reason to abolish the fee. >>

Yes, I can see how prog was such a major influence on "Modern Music" - 
Overblown, pompous, pretentious - and that's just the haircuts - Long twiddly guitar 
solos, dull triple concept albums, Tolkeinesque (YAWN)  sci-fi gatefold 
sleeves - Cigarette lighters in the air - Thank god punk came along and threw up 
all over it!

PS I think that's the first time Peel has ever been accused of ignorance 
regarding any genre of music!
